An interesting theory, I guess

I came across this article today and thought I'd share it. Scientist Eric Pianka has put forth the notion that the world is over-populated and that the human population needs to be reduced through the use of the ebola virus.

This reminded me of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six in which the main antagonist is striving for a greater balance between humanity and the world's natural environment much like Mr. Pianka. It's kind of strange how plots from Tom Clancy novels keep coming up. Perhaps the most famous was after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York which paralleled his book Debt of Honor in which a pilot crashed a plane into the Capital Building in Washington.
