Odd.

I did a search at http://www.wired.com/wired/ on both Simon and Ehrlich and came up empty.

Yet, I know I first read about the bet between the two in Wired Magazine.  I've subscribed for almost 10 years.

Hmmmmm.

Interesting.  When I googled "Simon Ehrlich wired", I got the article.  So much for the Lycos Search engine on Wired!

The Doomslayer

By Ed Regis

The environment is going to hell, and human life is doomed to only get worse, right? Wrong. Conventional wisdom, meet Julian Simon, the Doomslayer.

This is the litany : Our resources are running out. The air is bad, the water worse. The planet's species are dying off - more exactly, we're killing them -at the staggering rate of 100,000 peryear, a figure that works out to almost 2,000 species per week, 300 per day, 10 perhour, another dead species every six minutes. We're trashing the planet, washing away the topsoil, paving over our farmlands, systematically deforesting our wildernesses, decimating the biota, and ultimately killing ourselves.
