Is this the same guy that was predicting we would all starve to death...when the global population was 1/3 of what it is today, when global nutrition has improved markedly?

Yeah, Paul. You’re relevant.

And, once again, common-sense Americans have proved another leftist fear-mongering to be the lie that it is. The population bomb proved to be a fizzled firecracker. AGW proved to be just a lie.

And, once again, we’ve also proved that the left will stop at nothing to clench the iron fist of communism around our throat.

Yes, he is the author of the "Population Bomb" [1968] and other "We are Doomed" tracts. He is equally famous for an ill-fated (for him) wager with noted conservative Economist/Business Academic Julian L Simon in 1980 about Ehrlich-chosen commodity prices over the next 10 years.

An interesting side-note is that one of Ehrlich's advocates, advisors and judges of this wager was a gent named John Holdren. If that name sounds familiar, he is Obama's current "Science Czar". "By their friends, you shall know them!"
