You can't make this stuff up.
From the London Times:
The world is becoming so overpopulated that nature will one day wreak its revenge, claims Jeremy Irons, the actor.The man is completely clueless. Listening to him talk about "sustainability" is like listening to Liz Taylor give marriage advice.
Launching himself as a green campaigner, Irons has revealed plans to make a documentary about sustainability and waste disposal, likening himself to Michael Moore, the controversial film maker, although “not as silly”.
The increasing global population would put an intolerable strain on the world’s resources, Irons said, and the gulf between developing countries and westerners living a bountiful “pie-in-the-sky” existence must be addressed.
“One always returns to the fact that there are just too many of us, the population continues to rise and it’s unsustainable,” he said in an interview with The Sunday Times. “I think we have to find ways where we’re not having to scrap our effluent junk and are a really sustainable planet.”
Irons, who owns seven houses, including a pink castle in Co Cork, Ireland, believes a new economic vision is needed in the wake of the global financial crisis. “We are facing an economic revolution,” he said. “I don’t think things can ever be the same again. The next generation will have to think laterally and find ways to cope with this.”
He dismissed the idea that a recovery in consumption would help Britain out of recession: “You walk down the high street and it’s just clothes, clothes, clothes. How many clothes do people need? We’re on a hiding to nothing with that.
“We’ve always known the City was a bubble. We can’t continue to divide the world between people who live a pie-in-the-sky life and people who are starving.”
Or, better yet, it's like listening to Charles Manson talk about how to get along with people.

I agree. I think I'll add that to the post. Hope you don't mind.
It was pretty clear to me what an idiot he is after seeing him on an episode of "Who Do You Think You Are". He spent most of the episode going on about what an affinity he felt to Ireland and was sure this was because he had Irish ancestors. However, the programme makers had to go back several generations until they found one Irish ancestor to satisfy Mr Irons's yearning for Irishness. It was so far back that it made him about 1% Irish, which is probably less than the ancestry of most of the British population. It was both embarrassing and hilarious to see how totally ridiculous he was.
