Alarmist Paul Ehrlich Predicts Need to ‘Eat the Bodies of Your Dead’

The zombie apocalypse is nigh! The zombie apocalypse is nigh!

Well, no it isn’t. In fact, it’s probably as likely to occur as the rest of Paul Ehrlich’s predictions.

Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist famous for his widely debunked book “The Population Bomb,” doubled down on his climate change and overpopulation fear-mongering with HuffPost Live on May 21. Ehrlich warned host Josh Zepps that the dangers of overpopulation are growing, blaming Republicans and the media for failing to take action. While hawking a new book called “Hope On Earth,” Ehrlich’s co-author Michael Tobias praised Ehrlich’s older, outrageously wrong predictions and said they underestimated the problem.

Ehrlich, after falsely predicting human “oblivion” 46 years ago, told Zepps humans must soon begin contemplating “eat[ing] the bodies of your dead” after resources are depleted (fava beans and a nice Chianti optional, apparently).

Paul Erlich, in his book The Population Bomb, predicted hundreds of millions of famine deaths by the 1970s and 1980s.

Thus, his dire predictions for what was going to happen 35 years ago were malarkey.

Not to worry, everybody is going to be queer and queer don’t reproduce. Those who are not queer will have abortions. Infact the government will make laws that you do have an abortion just like China did if you have more then one child.

He might as well call his failed tome- “The Publication Bomb” ... Why he should have any more credibility now is beyond me.

I think those who agree with him shouldn’t wait, and commence cannibalizing each other immediately - for the planet!

Imagine Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi gobbling down rare Al Gore steaks. Bill and Hillary having a rare sit down dinner to feast on Elijah Cummings BBQ. Obama and Moochelle having Biden burgers, well done in case he actually does have mad cow disease.

The man has no shame. Every prediction he has made proved wrong. And he’s doubling down with more crap that won’t happen.

I didn’t know Ehrich was still alive and if so, still being taken seriously after being humiliated by Julian Simon.

I think he has credibility because he is a celebrity, and because the Low Information Elites agree with his worldview.

He was an idiot years ago and her remains an idiot, which should make him a perfect fit for our insane ruling class.

Just remember, if it does come to that, vegetarians are soft and tender and grill up nicely.

The guy is an a$$hole. There is a reason why the vast majority of human societies bury or burn the dead. DISEASE!
Eat human flesh and die from the germs.

At least Soylent Green was sterilized first.

How to get rich. Write a book that says we’re all doomed, or that we’re all bad through and through, or that Western Civilization’s got to go, or that traditional morality is bad.
