An Interview with Dominant Animal author Paul Ehrlich

Paul Ehrlich is a joke. People really need to stop listening to doomsday prophets.

@1StoryImageFigure1 I recently interviewed Dr. Ehrlich and can safely say that the thoughts on which his predictions were based on are certainty valid. Between the time the Population Bomb was written and now, the number of hungry people on the planet has more than doubled. By 2045, the world's population will reach 9 billion. The joke is people not realizing how serious overpopulation is.

Source: I've been researching agricultural sustainability and food policy for the past 3 months.

@castigirl999 The joke is that people do not realise that these overpopulation doomsayers have been wrong everytime.

@1StoryImageFigure1 Dr. Ehrlich's numbers may have been off, but the idea behind them wasn't. The bottom line of the Population Bomb was that the population is increasing before the means of sustenance are increased. That still holds true, even forty years later. Look to India, which is on track to become the most populous country. Even after the Green Rev, over 150 million Indians are chronically undernourished. Dr. Ehrlich is bringing light to this problem.

@castigirl999 No he is not. The current food production can feed everybody and more. The problem is capitalism which causes irrational and uneven distribution of recxsources. Profit first, huamn need not at all.

Why do the people who think the earth needs less people..... well.... off themselves for the good of the planet?

@acavideo : Paul Ehrlich predicted wide-scale starvation for the U.S. by the 1980's in his stellar tome: "The End of Affluence." "Dr." Ehrlich supports W.H.O.'s tireless efforts to sterilize 3rd-World women through serums and subcutaneous implants.

Paul Ehrlich is an elitist who subscribes to the sentiments of the Georgia Guide Stones: to reduce the population to one-half billion. That means that 90% of us MUST be exterminated.

Paul's hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately we humans are most likely going the way of the dinasaur and taking most other species with us. I find it a breath of fresh air to hear someone that would be informed on these subjects speak out. I hardly think we can listen to industry or religious spokes people.

stop the eugenics program. boycott island press for supporting the planned deaths of 80-90% of the world population.
