Years ago Erlich wrote an editorial for Science claiming the population increase was all the fault of women. Women just want too many children.

my first thought upon seeing your posting was “Could Paul Erlich possibly still be alive?”

His pessism is the bastard growth of an unholy union between supposed 'scientists' and rabid liberal ideology festering in his lying heart.

Left truly without politicism, liberalism, the desire to control others' lives and devoid of the will to grab for absolute power, the world's growth problems would be solved - by ingenuity and free markets.

However, that is not what slugs like him want, because is cuts them out of the power equations. Instead of trying to help, he is yelling a false wolf so that he can feather his own nest. I hope he's the first to go when the sh!t hits the population fan, then.

It isn´t the people. It´s their attitudes.

I hope Preppers are planning for a very very very very LONG crisis.

I tell people that laugh at me that I will happily give\barter them food and shelter but they are not getting a single sheet of TP.

>> Three and a half billion people later, he is more pessimistic than ever, <<

Then he’s a liar, because he predicted the Earth would be so consumed in famine and war, that the Earth would be depopulated and largely uninhabitable by the mid 1970s.

Paul Ehrlich makes Harold Camping seem responsible and scientific.

Funny how there are many here in this thread even who think that they are prepared for the absolute reign of terrors and horrors that are to come in the TEOTWAWKI. It does not matter how much you have stocked up or how much ammunition that you have the TEOTWAWKI will consume all and engulf you in a sea of mega-destruction and you will get hit with waves and waves of absolute terror and horror.

Myself I have burrowed down deep into the earth and created an elaborate tunnel system to escape the coming TEOTWAWKI. The TEOTWAWKI will be 99% a surface phenomena where hordes of mindless zombie like foollowers of the Population Bomb book will rampage and feed upon those who are left behind.

While it may be half the battle won by stocking up on ammunition and other supplies I suggest you all start digging now. Dig day and night and don’t stop until you are safe.

This same fool also predicted in the 1970’s that the entire population of India will have starved to death by 1985.

The movie Demographic winter took Ehrlich to task for his missed predictions of the population bomb.

Demographic Winter is a good documentary that lays out the truth of the declining population.

75% of all statistics are made up of 50% fabrication.

And there's an almost 100% chance that Paul Ehrlich will be wrong. The guy has been spouting the same discredited Malthusian philosophy for 45 years. Anyone remember his bets with Julian Simon?

My prediction has nothing to do with population, carbon, food, and the like. It has to do with Muslims. The only group of people growing in the world right now is Muslims. We are increasingly at war with Muslims and they are willing to fight back. After the Arab Spring and Iraq and Afghanistan, I think we will be in perpetual war with Islam until Jesus comes. If we think pulling out of Iraq will fix things, we will see very soon what it will be like to have the whole ME erupt with war and death. We used to think it was the Russians, then the Chinese, but now it's pretty clear to me anyway that the ME will kill anyone and everyone that doesn't pray to Allah. You hand them freedom on a platter and they want Sharia law and Muslim Brotherhood.

We better wake up and start the slaughter before it gets outa hand. Either that or expect the same mercy Kaddafy got in his last minutes.

"The global population has since doubled [since 1968] and, although growth is slowing, is still on course to rise beyond the two billion maximum Ehrlich believes Earth can sustain without irrevocably destroying its water, earth and air.

“The next two billion people, should we get them, will put more and more pressure on environmental systems that are struggling today,” he said. “Each individual has to have food from more marginal land … materials from poorer ores, we’re going to use more oil so we have to drill deeper: we’re past the point of diminishing returns.”

Didn't I just hear that the population just passed 7 billion?
