Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can fool some of the people all the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time." I think in some cases he got it wrong.
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines – hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death…”– Paul R. Ehrlich, The Population Bomb
Published in 1968, Paul R. Ehrlich’s book The Population Bomb sold more than 3 million copies. The book turned this Stanford professor into his generation’s academic rock star.
Ehrlich became the only author Johnny Carson interviewed for an entire hour on The Tonight Show. In 1990, he won The Crafoord Prize – ecologists’ version of the Nobel Prize.
Beginning in the 1970's brilliant people have told us that we have only ten years to live if we don't tackle global warming. Actor Ted Danson and former bar maid Alexandrio Ocasio Cortes have told us this so it must be true.
