The GOP Vs. Global Warming :: Why do they want to be the "Kill the
Earth Party"?
Earth Party"?
Paul Ehrlich, Foundation Member Of The Church Of Latter Day Alarmists!
Here are some quotable quotes ... hee hee hee ...
"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."
"a minimum of ten million people, most of them
children, will starve to death during each year of the 1970s. But this is a
mere handful compared to the numbers that will be starving before the end of
the century"
"By 1985 enough millions will have died to reduce
the earth's population to some acceptable level, like 1.5 billion people."
He added that by 1980 the United States would see its life expectancy drop
to 42 because of pesticides, and by 1999 its population would drop to 22.6
million. In the seventies, Ehrlich envisioned the President dissolving
Congress "during the food riots of the 1980s," followed by the United States
suffering a nuclear attack for its mass use of insecticides.
"Our position requires that we take immediate action at home and promote
effective action worldwide. We must have population control at home,
hopefully through changes in our value system, but by compulsion if
voluntary methods fail."
"luxury taxes could be placed on layettes,
cribs, diapers, diaper services, [and] expensive toys..." and suggested
giving "responsibility prizes" to couples who went at least five years
without having children or to men who got vasectomies. He called for setting
up a federal Bureau of Population and Environment to oversee reducing U.S.
population growth.
Paul Ehrlich is the modern version of |Thomas Malthus| -- the most visible
and persistent predictor of mass famine and economic catastrophe. Unlike
Malthus, though, Ehrlich doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes; when one
of his predictions of disaster fails to come true, Ehrlich simply moves on
and makes other predictions of disaster, constantly pushing back the
timetable for massive world famine, perhaps in the desperate hope that if he
keeps predicting the same thing, eventually pure chance will fulfill the
conditions he requires.
