1970s The Population Bomb … 2009 Global Warming. Settled Science Then and Now?

Zombietime has unearthed some truly loathsome writings that Obama’s new Science Czar, John Holdren, coauthored with Anna and Paul Ehrich (of The Population Bomb fame). The book, published in 1977: Ecoscience, Population, Resources, Environment is filled with the same fearmongering the global warmists are promoting today. It alleges with certitude if nothing is done rapidly and forcefully, humanity will be doomed to mass starvations. The rhetoric is eerily similar to the doomsday predictions of global warming. From the Holdren’s book:

"Humanity cannot afford to muddle through the rest of the twentieth century; the risks are too great, and the stakes are too high. This may be the last opportunity to choose our own and our descendants' destiny. Failing to choose or making the wrong choices may lead to catastrophe. But it must never be forgotten that the right choices could lead to a much better world."

Club of Rome too. Has there ever been a liberal scare tactic that turned out to be true?

But Ehrlich, Malthus etc were proved right!

Am I the only person who remembers the mass starvation in the 1970’s, when 70% of the Earth’s population died?

[ 1970s The Population Bomb ]

The Socialists have murdered several hundred millions in the last century and made many more millions miserable..

The Socialists this century seem to be gearing up to liquidate several BILLIONS and make the rest miserable..

Many "liberal" drones are willfully blind to this and enable the death squads of political doo-gooders.. as the common good.. Culling the population of the planet..

Socialism is a symptom.. and an attribute of democracy..
Democracy being Mob Rule by mobsters.. a social disease..
Many humans are infected with it..

No democracy was ever yet democratic..
It always starts out and remains Oligarchy..

Zombietime is WAY underrated as a participant in the culture wars. This Zombie guy/gal has repeatedly entered into unsafe areas to document the loathsome practices of the left, sometimes at great personal risk. Zombie is the one who blew the lid off the Folsom Street Fair scandal, as well as many other liberal filth-fests.

I heart Zombietime!

under Obama, Erhlich’s career has been suddenly resurrected. My alma mater recently paid him an outrageous speaking fee to appear there. (I wonder how the Indian grad students felt, since according to Erlich’s work they should have all starved to death years ago)

If only all of the 70s overpopulation nazis had done their part and voluntarily marched en mass off of a cliff to curb population growth then we might not have the global warming BS today.
