There are perfectly good independent small nations.

Clearly we could devastate the world... as far as we know, the Earth is the only place in the universe where there is life. Its continued survival now rests in our hands

Very few species have survived unchanged. There's one called lingula, which is a little shellfish, a little brachiopod about the size of my fingernail, that has survived for 500 million years, but it's survived by being unobtrusive and doing nothing, and you can't accuse human beings of that.

Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment

I have no doubt that the fundamental problem the planet faces is the enormous increase in the human population

You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.
