All true. However, the Watermelons hypothesis was not Delingpole’s idea (he is not clever enough to have them – he just came up with the name for his book). The idea (a.k.a. a myth) was the invention of the ex-Cold-War physicists: Jastrow, Nierenberg, Seitz and Singer – the Merchants of Doubt.

I find that the people who “accuse” others of being Communists do not actually know what communism is. But, it put fear in all those people who also don’t know what communism is, so I guess it works!

That's the Telegraph website for you! The newspaper may be the largest circulation broadsheet in the UK but the website is almost entirely populated by ideological imbeciles (or so it always appears from the comments section) who believe James Delingpole's Watermelons hypothesis - that all environmentalists are Communists.

Yes, I was referring to your comments (sorry for not being clear). And I had to be because most everyone else made irresponsible comments that either smacked of ideology or a complete ignorance of the implications of overpopulation – as though we were concerned with the amount of living space everyone has access to! Sheeesh! If that was the case, everyone could move to Canada. Lots of space here!

Glad to know you made it back here again with your sanity intact.

If you were referring to my comments – and even if you were not – thank you.

OK. I’m back. Good article, scary comments section! I get the feeling that people would rather remain ignorant of the problems around the world than have to make a change in how they live.

Great comments in the “plague of the earth” story! My morbid curiosity is forcing me to go read all ideologically-driven insanity that people have to say about our overpopulation and pollution problems. I know I shouldn’t, but…. I….. just….. can’t……… help…..
