On January 1, “60 Minutes” featured a segment with Paul Ehrlich, who predicted that earth is headed straight for extinction. For Ehrlich, 90, this is not a new theme.
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over,” was the first line of his 1968 The Population Bomb. During the 1970s, the author contended, “hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” By 1979, Ehrlich prophesied, the oceans would be without life and by 1999 pesticides would reduce the population of the United States to 23 million. None of that happened, and it wasn’t even close. On Frontpage Magazine,

Hmmm, Paul Ehrlich. A massive failure on the population and planet extinction fronts. See BS, massive failures on the communism is good front. Pretty good bedfellows, no?

Ehrlich made millions selling a different variation of "We're all going to die!!!!", every few years, all total BS.
And shortly after it became abundantly clear that his latest predicted demise was WAY off the track, he was soon out SUCCESSFULLY selling his latest crackpot, fraudulent load of horse manure.
Rinse, repeat, ad nauseum, literally. Everything that he ever wrote was fraud.
The good news us that this faker is not likely to bothering us with his BS much longer.

Ehrlich and Krugman are proof positive that if you take two half-wit PhDs and put them in a room with other people the result will be a decrease in intelligence of those poor other people.

Paul Simon put Ehrlick in his place years ago. Their famous 1990 scientific wager on the subject of scarcity is still online. Simon passed away 1998. Among other things Simon proposed was that airlines compensate passengers for overbooking, which the industry at first ignored then utilized.

Here's the money quote of the article: "That principle was best outlined by Hippolyte Taine, historian of the French Revolution: 'Nothing is more dangerous than a general idea in narrow and empty minds: as they are empty, it finds no knowledge there to interfere with it; as they are narrow it is not long before it occupies the place entirely. Henceforth they no longer belong to themselves but are mastered by it; it works in them and through them, the man, in the true sense of the word, being possessed.'"
Have we not witnessed true possession in the "womxn" wearing blood-stained pants bashing the heads of baby dolls against the street pavement? Are not their once narrow and empty minds now occupied by the general idea that abortion is "reproductive healthcare"? Having sex shouldn't have "consequences" for just one "gender". There's no difference between having an abortion at 6 weeks, 16, 26, or days before delivery; "its" not a "baby" unless the "mother" decides. The sperm donor, formerly known as a "father", has been totally taken out of the equation of life. He has no legal say in the matter, even if married to the woman.
Roe v. Wade being overturned is the answer to fifty years of prayer, fasting, protests and marches. However, the battle field has splintered from a singular focus on the federal courts to fifty states' legislatures, and I'm not sure the pro-life movement is quite prepared for the challenge. Besides the politics, we are faced with the corrupt spying and law enforcement from federal agencies. Evil has become brazen and so Good must become Humble and Prayerful. Seek the Lord and Guidance in Holy Scripture. Join your brothers and sisters in congregational worship. Invite family and friends to join you. In God We Trust.

Ehlich is partially correct. McDonald's has canceled the McRib.

The stupid and the obnoxious always seem to live a long time. Greta will probably last another seventy years so we are in for a long ride.

They are doing their best to create a food shortage by burning down processing plants and killing chickens.
But in the US, we have lots of corn that could be diverted from use in gasoline to food.
All we have to do is start drilling for our own oil again.

Not “too many people” it’s “too many of the wrong type of people..” just ask Margaret Sanger, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot and Kaiser Klaus (and his evil henchperson Yuval Noah Harari…)

Royt. My early 70's high school social studies was just a warmup. Coming Ice Age, famine, pollution, no more oil... we would be extinct by the year 2000. They've just revamped the scam.

He's no different from the " globalwaming/climatehchange " rank and file hysterics. The same we're all gonna die unless we do as they say. The years pass and the lie is proven to be just what it is , a lie. Those at the top of the climate change scam know that they're pushing lies, but the siren song of wealth and power is too much for them to resist.

For a planet that was supposed to starve to death, the current #1 health issue is obesity. Explain that please, Paul.

#2, Georgie Boy Soros won't be on this side of the ground for a lot longer either. But unfortunately, he has two boys to replace him who are just as evil if not worse than he is.

At least he will be proven correct about the population decreasing when he dies. And we will be better off for it

Oh for sure, we're all gonna die, but now its just one-at-a-time. Wouldn't you hate to be married to Paul Ehrlich?

...because #18, bill's bugs notwithstanding, the usa food supply already is full of
rubbish:
chemicals, hormones, synthetics, empty fake junk foods that don't nourish or support the body and mind.
killrbill appreciates them -and mfg's his own- cos they have the power to
expand the waistline and kill off proper organ function.

Bravo, #6. I agree completely.
Ehrlich is a horrible forecaster. In the early 1970s, he predicted that San Franciscans would be forced to turn to cannibalism due to food shortages by 1979.
