BTW...In looking this info up, I found that Dr. Ehrlich maintains that he wasn't wrong and that he had a valid point despite the fact that none of his dire predictions coming true. Typical Liberal.
I get to be first? GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!
I remember Erlich. I also remember that we are in for global cooling in the late 60's and 70's until Global warming took over.
Frankly I am tired of liberals!
There truly is no point in arguing with a liberal.
BTW - The guy teaches high school history.
Sean Hannity gave a global warming cult member a pretty good beating tonight.
It's the quadrophonic of the 21st century.
Instead of investing true wealth in the next generation, humans tend to spend it on themselves. (It is rather scarce resources that go to one's offspring and the growing of family.)
I personally theorize that this resoundingly explains gay decadence. It is a natural population control -- who needs kids when you are so fat and happy with yourself?
That's the great thing about being a liberal. Even when you lose an argument, you win.
Oh, and down is up, too.
If you read Mark Steyn's book "America Alone" .. you can plainly see from the stats he provides that a "population bomb" is not going to be our problem.
And .. neither is global warming. The "bomb" will be that we will run out of population from the western nations of Europe (because of abortion), and the Islamic nations (who have 6-10 children each), will be populating the world.
America alone is not decreasing her population .. and that's why we WILL SURVIVE THIS ISLAMIC ONSLAUGHT.
"Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions....By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine".

That Rosenberg? woman was something else wasn't she?...on H&C discussing how "we're all toast" if we don't heed the Global warming guru's........LOL
William Stanley Jevons was one of the greatest economists of the 19th century. With Menger and Walras he was one of the three co-discoverers of marginal utility theory, the idea that as we consume more of something the value of each incremental unit diminishes. We value a glass of water to stop us dying of thirst much more than the same glass to help top up our swimming pools.
However, he fell into the Malthusian trap in The Coal Question (1865). In this influential book he treated coal as the essential resource for the British industrial economy and argued that it was exhaustible.
He worried about "our present rapid multiplication when brought into comparison with a fixed amount of material resource" and feared that Britain's industrial growth would come to a halt because its coal reserves were running out. Worse still he argued "... it is useless the think of substituting any other kind of fuel for coal."
"... some day our coal seams [may] be found emptied to the bottom, and swept clean like a coal-cellar. Our fires and furnaces ... suddenly extinguished, and cold and darkness ... left to reign over a depopulated country."
Jevons, William Stanley. [1865, 1906] 1965. The Coal Question. New York: Augustus M. Kelley.
I`ll never forget a few years ago, Al Gore came here to NYC in the dead of winter to speak about global warming, and it was one of the coldest days of the year, something like 10 degrees ouside, (which is not unusual here in the dead of winter. Matter of fact it is around that temperature now.)
And when someone asked Al about this, how can it be so cold out when there is global warming, he replied "it was cold out like this because of global warming"
So you know what this told me? You can`t win with these psychopaths...If it`s warm outside it`s global warming, if it`s cold outside it`s global warming. Whatever you say or do, you will never change their minds because they are insane people.
His work had real negative consequences. The West is underbreeding itself to extinction and his work is one more excuse for abortion.
We are having global cooling RIGHT NOW. The 1960's prediction finally came true!
We say that Global Warming visited Bob Jones University!
If libs truley believe in their own nonsense, they can help the planet out by "hari-cari".
Good luck with that libs!
Global warming freaks and peak oil freaks sound just like this. It is all a load of irrational crap.
