The views of James Lee, the eco-progressive that took his ideology to the barricades at the Discovery Channel yesterday–and then gave his life for the cause–are apparently well grounded in environmentalist tradition. Lee seemed to be well aware of his ideological roots. After all, one of his demands was that the Discovery Channel “develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences.” Richard Morrison over at the American Spectator has an excellent article? where he demonstrates how Lee, at least intellectually, stands on the shoulders of those most admired by the modern environmental movement.
