Where are these “experts” today????
Some have passed away; others still secure in their tenured faculty positions.
Well.... one of the worst of those eco-hysterics has just served 8 years as Obama’s chief “science advisor” and is now cozily back in academe:

Where are these “experts” today?....Ehrlich is still spouting out of ass today, I believe.
[Where are these “experts” today????]
They all froze to death. Or starved. Or ran out of gas.
The science is settled.
VATICAN CITY, February 27, 2017 ( LifeSiteNews) – Leading population control activist Paul Ehrlich spoke at a Vatican conference on “how to save the natural world” today despite an outcry by members of the Catholic faithful.
The conference, Biological Extinction, is sponsored by the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. It takes place from Monday to Wednesday and is closed to the media - an unusual prohibition for Vatican conferences with outside expert speakers on matters of significant public
As a UC Davis undergrad, I took a class from Ken Watt (items 9, 11, and 13 on the list) approx 1973.
Was Dr. Watt a wild-eyed lunatic?
No, he was just a very convincing one (to us unquestioning "kids" in his class, anyhoo.)
As I recall (it's been a few years) Watt's class was titled something like "Environmental Principles", and centered around 10 or so statements of (ha ha) fact.
His favorite one centered around the pending economical fallout from manufacturers' propensity to overproduce in the beginning of a boom cycle; and, his favorite prediction (again, as I recall) was how Boeing was about to overproduce aircraft, leading to the company's peril. (Boeing's order book is stuffed to the winglets, btw.) I might still have his textbook, if I can find it, it will be interesting to see if any of his major "principles" turned out to be correct.
More broadly, Watt took advantage of an implied trust between prof and students, and while we generally regarded him as a hyperbolic clown, we still tended to believe what he said.
Thus, education of college students is often delayed to the time when they encounter facts.
Probably part of the consensus crowd crying whatever “science” is calling the global warming scam currently.
