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?”
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 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 dont stop until you are safe.
Bump.
This same fool also predicted in the 1970’s that the entire population of India will have starved to death by 1985.
are democrats civilized?
many of them are going tribal.
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.
Crazy Eddie Cycles (with apologies to Larry Niven)?
And I feel fine.
Yay! 10% chance we will be all right.
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 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, were going to use more oil so we have to drill deeper: were past the point of diminishing returns.
Didn't I just hear that the population just passed 7 billion?
