The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970's and 1980's hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.
- Paul Ehrlich in the beginning of his 1968 ``The Population Bomb''

This vast tragedy, however, is nothing compared to the nutritional disaster that seems likely to overtake humanity in the 1970s (or, at the latest, the 1980s) ... A situation has been created that could lead to a billion or more people starving to death.
- Paul Ehrlich, "The End of Affluence" (1974), p.21

Hundreds of millions of people will soon perish in smog disasters in New York and Los Angeles...the oceans will die of DDT poisoning by 1979...the U.S. life expectancy will drop to 42 years by 1980 due to cancer epidemics.
- Paul Ehrlich, 1969 in Ramparts.

We are all going to die! In less than 150 years, every man, woman and child now living on Earth will be dead!!!

At least... you... I believe.

Just 150 years? from now? I didn't hear a 'MARK!'.

Am I right in saying that this Paul Ehrlich is a Eugenicist?

"Paul Ehrlich, 1969 in Ramparts."

Ah, Ramparts, from my youthful days as a Leftist. I still have a few issues stashed away in my garage.

But does the science behind these claims really stand up, or are the risks of climate change being oversold to win the battle for influence?

Wasn't there some environmental honcho that wrote explicitly several years ago that they *needed* to exagerate and lie about the environment in order to motivate the population to action? I think he retracted it, but he said it, and I don't think he was opposed by the environmentalists who were his audience.

[VOA]

Simon Cox reports on how scientists are becoming worried by the
quality of research used to back up the most extreme climate predictions.

The real concern of the white coats?
The deceit used in pushing an agenda on environmental hysteria...
will result in cuts in their grant money.

OK, that may not be true of all the white coats.
