I recall reading these books as a young, ignorant college student. They were all the rage back then. In addition, my Dad worked for an oil company so that made things a bit more tense than usual. He thought the whole thing was nonsense. He was right of course.
"When we were still here in the year 2000, just throw in Al Gore receiving the Nobel Prize and telling us 2020 is the new Armageddon date.
Then as 2020 passed we have the sad spectacle of children like Greta telling us, “this time it’s definitely gonna happen by 2032.”
"And so it goes with this latest UN Climate Report, accompanied by hundreds of experts like John Kerry and Leo DiCaprio
circling the world in private jets to keep plunging us into fear."
"So, pick up a copy of Limits to Growth, published in 1972 and as a chaser Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb published in 1968.
…and wonder, just wonder, why after 50 years we still believe disaster is coming in just one more decade,
but this time, by God, we’ll get it right."
