For what its worth, most claims seem to be that Forrest Mims has taken his words out of context.

Pianka has stated that Mims took his statements out of context and that Pianka was stating what would happen from biological principles alone if present human population trends continue, and that he was not in any way advocating that it happen.

Pianka is an AAAS fellow, Senior fulbright scholar, and overall respected ecologist.

Mims is associated with the discovery institute, believes in intelligent design, and doesn't believe in global warming.

I know where I'd place my bets.
