"If there were a button I could press, I would sacrifice myself without hesitating, if it meant millions of people would die."
How charming. But did he factor in the consequences for nature of big catastrophic events? Humans tend to care even less about environmental protection when their survival is at stake.
edit: but he did "founded the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation (Luonnonperintösäätiö), which concentrates on preserving the few ancient forests still left in southern Finland and other nature conservation."
"Linkola was announced as the winner of a poll conducted by the national broadcaster Yle to determine who had done the most to preserve Finland's natural heritage"
He was also active in the early Green party, which might have had an impact of some kind. So yeah, maybe his influence was more significant than the UB's.
