It was certainly insensitive to express an opinion of that sort, in that

Yes, but we have actually heard Angus's outbursts steadily for years. I
don't keep reference to these, but he once expressed a view that a
potential bird flu plague running through the world, thinning out the
population would be a good thing. ISTR his tone was happy about such an
outcome.

This does not suggest his views are based on khama or poetic justice.


True, but his views on the human species being set/overdue for a population
correction seem to be a combination of Lovelock's Gaia and good old
fashioned Malthusian theories.
