http://www.ted.com Traveling from Ecuador to Africa, Jane Goodall takes the audience on an ecological journey, discussing highlights and low points of her experiences in the jungle. She shows how progress is helping research (DNA analysis) and hurting the environment (clear-cutting). And she draws a dozen parallels between primate and human behavior, making the point that we really aren't all that different. Our big advantage, she says, is the ability to communicate with sophisticated spoken language -- yet, sadly, we are abusing this power and destroying the planet. She urges the TED audience to behave differently, and use their higher powers to correct the planet's course.

His attitude that Mankind is unworthy of Earth troubled me, even as a child.

Cousteau was a fascist. Don't you recognize it : " it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day". And the method ? Zyklon B ? Machine gun ? Bombing ? Starving ? Bacteriologic warfare ? Other weapons of massive destruction ? Fascist and mentally disturbed. Thank you for the quote : " it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day"... no better argument...

"In order to stabilize world population, it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it." — Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, as quoted in "The Courier," a publication of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.)
