http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentti_Linkola

He advocates eugenics, genocide,and abortion as possible means to combat overpopulation. He describes the Stalinist and Nazi massacres, as "massive thinning operations," but which have "not overturned our ethical norms".[9] He has suggested that big cities should be attacked by "some trans-national body like the UN", with nuclear weapons or with "bacteriological and chemical attacks".[10]. Linkola has described humans as a cancer of the earth, and he desires that the human population be reduced to 5 million.[11][12]

Ideally, Linkola believes that Finnish society should be ruled by an environmentally-aware elite. He writes that this elite would ban almost all use of motorized vehicles, and transfer populations from bigger cities to the countryside to create an agrarian society. This would eliminate the need for parking lots and construction, and trees would be planted on major roads. Industrialists and technologists would be retrained as agricultural labourers. Procreation would be licensed, with an average of one child born to each woman. Local autarchy would reduce the need for travel, which would be done by foot, paddling, horse or bicycle, instead of by cars, airplanes or motorboats.
