The ehrlich!

A couple of those vintage Paul Ehrlich quotes Gutfeld was referring to:

“The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer.”

Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist, ‘The Population Bomb’ (1968)

“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born. ... By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”

Paul Ehrlich, essay, ‘Eco-Catastrophe!’ in Ramparts Magazine, Earth Day Special issue, 1970

RNB,

Thanks for the truly timeless quotes…

Just celebrate the spectacular wrongness, people, before we all end up having to deal with a super horrendously apocalyptic 1000 million kilometre rising of sea levels that indiscriminately kills blacks, gays, feminayzees, asylum seekers, sri lankans, indians, haitians, venezualans, labore pollies, white seth efricans, parking officers, green pollies, single mothers, aardvarks, right wing journalists and most tragically of all, a rare species of ant…

and then hopefully, finally, those remaining will be able to wean themselves off carbon.*

*Oh and by the way, we are not exaggerating, sheeple!
