"The face-off occurred in the pages of Social Science Quarterly, where Simon challenged Ehrlich to put his money where his mouth was. In response to Ehrlich's published claim that 'If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000' - a proposition Simon regarded as too silly to bother with - Simon countered with 'a public offer to stake US$10,000 ... on my belief that the cost of non-government-controlled raw materials (including grain and oil) will not rise in the long run... If the inflation-adjusted prices of the various metals rose in the interim, Simon would pay Ehrlich the combined difference; if the prices fell, Ehrlich et alia would pay Simon. ... Between 1980 and 1990, the world's population grew by more than 800 million, the largest increase in one decade in all of history. But by September 1990, without a single exception, the price of each of Ehrlich's selected metals had fallen, and in some cases had dropped through the floor. Chrome, which had sold for $3.90 a pound in 1980, was down to $3.70 in 1990. Tin, which was $8.72 a pound in 1980, was down to $3.88 a decade later." [1]
As a result, in October 1990, Paul Ehrlich mailed Julian Simon a check for $576.07 to settle the wager in Simon's favor.
“Climate experts”
What the hell have “climate experts” ever been right about? Would you trust a doctor who has been wrong about everything?
They have plenty of reason to be concerned - just not the one they think is the problem.

So are we, you’re an idiot.
” I’m 62 now and I’m actually really glad I did not have children.”
Don’t worry, bitch, there are now MILLIONS of Muslims in France who are GLADLY having as many children as they can pop out to take the place of you, you (non-existent) ‘partner’, and your (non-existent) children.
They have your back, you’re good. Bitch.

Love her cheese, hate her politics.
It’s good that these neurotics have decided not to reproduce.
Well, 500 million years ago the Grand Canyon was the Cambrian Sea. So, there is a lot to fear with all that “climate change”. /s

Oh good lord. Yes I worry about the future for my kids. A future where they cannot afford housing and are prosecuted for something they say on line.
Great news! These idiots refuse to breed !!!
