Tragedy of the tragedy of the commons

Garrett Hardin and his wife recently passed away, it is rumored to have been a double suicide. Hardin was a well-known environmentalist, most prominently he coined the phrase “tragedy of the commons”. He spent the latter part of his career opposing immigration and favoring population control, he was even embraced by some eugenecists.

Addendum: The Hardins were survived by their four children, thanks to Nicky Tynan for the pointer.
