"Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources"
The NYT was clearly sexist in 1970. It should have read "conserve his/her/transitioning/yet-to-be-determined resources".

btw, Holdren's bio at Harvard claims that he has
"a Ph.D. from Stanford in aerospace engineering and theoretical plasma physics"
I'm no scientist but I think that "aerospace engineering" and "theoretical plasma physics" are very very separate disciplines. Normally they are not even in the same graduate school, since engineering disciplines are usually quite separate in academic bureaucracy from the "natural sciences" including physics.
Surely it is not possible to do one doctoral dissertation that could satisfy requirements in both of those fields. I find this extremely unlikely at best.
Perhaps Holdren is guilty of some serious embellishment of his credentials here, to sound more impressive. Possibly he took some course in both fields, but I doubt that he has a PhD that was granted in both fields.

Back in 1970, my parents asked us if we wanted to see a bonafide freak show. Us kids thought we were going to the zoo. It was instead the local rendition of Earth Day on Belle Isle in Detroit. We drove past the mass of hippies in our Suburban. Mom and Dad supplied us with appropriate commentary designed to enhance the experience of being a witness to history, of sorts.
Sure enough it was a freaking freak show. And these people who yammered on and on about saving the Earth, completely trashed Belle Isle and guess who had to pay for their freaking mess? Just like now.

Not one of them predicted the ad nasueum of 80’s keyboard music or 90’s-00’s rap and hip hop.

ALL are surprisingly silent today about their predictions...I wonder why?.....They just haven’t found anything sufficiently ridiculous and far off in the future to raise funds for.

As a Warmer Fan, I just finished our celebratory burning of tires!
I love Earth Day and doing my small part to warm her up for a new age of comfort and prosperity.

Pompous know-it-alls clearly did not study the history of the Universe, geology, meteorology, flora, or fauna for the eons of change/metamorphosis and all the other miracles of rebirth and natural recycling.
Humans use & change earth’s resources - we call it consuming or farming or manufacturing. We also have mass deaths through wars, plague and catastrophes...after which there is an increase in births. The ENDLESS rhythm of life death and change in the hands of a Greater power or Mother Nature (for the greenies).
I expect scientists to study all aspects of a subject before running their mouths; otherwise known as pontificatin’ pollutin’.

By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions
It's eerie how prescient they were about Venezuela.

... nor did people imagine that a prominent Republican Senator would defend Ira Einhorn of his murder of Holly Maddux .... Ah yes .. Earth Day.

So they are all concerned about the food supply ... righhht ... i am a farmer in California and these leftist politicians are doing everything they can to put us out of business. We have a sad saying around here “grow food, go to jail”. Hope they enjoy getting their food from Mexico and China.

At least Arlen finally signed up with the party of his choice, not that it helped him much politically.
