Thomas Malthus probably could never have dreamed that he’d have so many adherents to his dangerous philosophy so far into the future.
Add in the coming Ice Age, acid rain, the cold war, the vanishing ozone layer, that was all predicted during that time and the world as we knew it was supposed end.
It was Hugh and Series
Paul ehrlich and “ZPG” comes to mind.
and yet we have an unprecedented epidemic of obesity.
Winds up that Wheat production increased by an order of magnitude thanks to hybridized versions. Only problem is that it has given much of the world obesity and diabetes as a byproduct.
Wait, live till, 40 years from now when CO2 parts per million have continued to increase and “climate change” is not destroying human life on earth.
Well given the current demographic realities China, Korea, Russia and most of Europe won’t have many people to feed.
Well, of course. This was before our benevolent world elites decided we should eat bugs and recycled toilet paper. That should extend our earthly stay another 20 years.
‘I was around back then. There were two groups predicting the end of the world by 1975.

“information disorder”
Another 1984 euphemism from the Ministry of Truth word factory.
Information disorder is a global phenomenon that refers to the spread of misleading or harmful information in the digital environment.
It can include:
Misinformation: Sharing false information without intending to cause harm.
Disinformation: Sharing false information with the intent to cause harm.
Malinformation: Sharing genuine information with the intent to cause harm.

The US farmer can out produce anyone. In the 1930s depression and Dust Bowl, the US still produced so much food the FDR admin had millions of cattle and hogs bought up, shot and buried to get the price of food up, Up, UP!
Meanwhile people were starving because there were no jobs to earn money to buy food.
“Did the ghost walk?” was a common saying back then. It meant “Did you get paid?”
Today farmers have to fill out government forms to grow crops. I remember dad having to fill them out in our youth.
Keep the f*****g border open, NYT and we’ll have more and more to feed.
As a college freshman at the time, I happened to chat with the primary author of the report at a reception after his visit and speech on my campus. He confided that for some in their leadership, the report indicated a need for Nazi-style eugenics policies to assure that the smartest and best were given preference in reproduction and access to resources. The poor man was sincerely troubled about that but seemed unable to see that it was a logical extension of his report.
Over the years, the Club of Rome report and much else has suggested to me that if food and other resources are fundamentally inadequate and cannot be expanded to meet needs, it is only logical to centralize control over resources, distribute them to your control group and those they favor, and to favor their selective reproduction as well. Communism, fascism, the Marxist green agenda, and the party of Davos all have this logic.
Of course, America and enterprise capitalism repeatedly undo or find ways around limits to resources. This is part of why it is the enemy because it removes a potent practical argument in favor of power for Communists, fascists, Marxist environmentalism, and the Davos movement. I have known enough Jehovah's types to know that they are mostly all nice people with nutty religious views -- which makes them far better people than the adherents of those political movements that seek power over us.
