When you get down to brass tacks, the evil New World Order of conspiracy lore have one ultimate goal: population reduction. As such, believers cast environmentalists as being agents of this shadowy one-world government. As we acknowledge the trade-off in environmental degredation caused by human activity, the logic goes, we must wish death upon untold numbers of people.

So in this episode we investigate the reality of the global extinction event, whether population reduction is really a goal of environmentalism, and which actual groups in history have proposed this policy for real. You're going to need a stiff drink: it ain't pretty.
