Obama’s Science Advisor, John Holdren, wrote in 1969 that “all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come.” In 1973 he wrote, “210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is likely to be much too many”. Not only was he off in his prediction of when we would reach 280 million (we hit it 30 years faster than he predicted), he was also 30 million people short (we are now at 310 million)... and yet somehow WalMart magically seems to always be well-stocked. Hmm.
It’s the Religion of Doom and it has many adherents, most of whom are self-professed atheists who pretend not to have any religion at all.
