And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he\u2019s a leading expert on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Why didn\u2019t \u201c60 Minutes\u201d have the decency to find a fresh-faced, yet-to-be-discredited neo-Malthusian to hyperventilate about the end of the world? Why didn\u2019t producers invite a single guest to push back against theories that have been reliably debunked by reality? Because media staff is filled with environmental pessimists who believe that capitalism is constantly in danger. Ehrlich is probably our greatest alarmist.<\/p>\n<p>His 1968 book, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/projectavalon.net\/The_Population_Bomb_Paul_Ehrlich.pdf\">The Population <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/projectavalon.net\/The_Population_Bomb_Paul_Ehrlich.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bomb<\/a>,\u201d One of the most destructive acts of the 20th Century.

Ehrlich\u2019s progeny are other media-favored hysterics by other antihumanists, such as Al Gore or Eric Holthaus or Greta Thunberg, who skipped learning history and science because she also believes we are on the precipice of \u201cmass extinction.\u201d All of this, without mentioning the thousands of Little Ehrlichs who will push you to eat insects. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/02\/world\/europe\/climate-activists-germany-stop-traffic.html?smid=tw-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gluing<\/a> They will not allow themselves to be driven on roads and demand that you give up the most basic modern conveniences and needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe battle to feed all of humanity is over,\u201d The opening line \u201cThe Population Bomb\u201d reads. \u201cIn the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now,\u201d Ehrlich wrote. He stated that it was possible that the oceans would be devoid of life by 1979, and that the United States&#8217; population would plummet to 23,000,000 by 1999, due to pesticides. \u201cThe death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years,\u201d He is well-known for his famously <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=gsoqJtai7moC&#038;pg=PA131&#038;lpg=PA131&#038;dq=%E2%80%9CThe+death+rate+will+increase+until+at+least+100-200+million+people+per+year+will+be+starving+to+death+during+the+next+ten+years,%E2%80%9D&#038;source=bl&#038;ots=P9qM8MdU0c&#038;sig=ACfU3U2Fvj2zVZjlr3ptaXYMgk81WNQclw&#038;hl=en&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=2ahUKEwjq2L_jnqn8AhXGpXIEHYfuC-4Q6AF6BAgiEAM#v=onepage&#038;q=%E2%80%9CThe%20death%20rate%20will%20increase%20until%20at%20least%20100-200%20million%20people%20per%20year%20will%20be%20starving%20to%20death%20during%20the%20next%20ten%20years%2C%E2%80%9D&#038;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> Mademoiselle in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Simon gave the biologist his famed <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/how-julian-simon-won-1-000-bet-with-population-bomb-author-paul-ehrlich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wager<\/a>Ehrlich replied by <a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/2010\/12\/30\/cracked-crystal-ball-environme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201cIf I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.\u201d Ehrlich instead chose five natural resources that he thought would be in short supply due to human consumption. Ehrlich lost the bet on every count, as the composite price index of those commodities, copper\/chromium, plummeted by more than 40 per cent despite the fact there were 800,000,000 new people in that period.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not merely that Ehrlich is always spectacularly wrong about the future but that he remains unrepentant.
