Accelerated modern humaninduced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction
There have been papers which show that species and area relationships always overestimate extinctions.
Ehrlich became well known for his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb, which asserted that the world's human population would soon increase to the point where mass starvation ensued Among the measures he suggested in that book was population control, to be used in his opinion if voluntary methods were to fail.

Then why doesn’t Erlich do his duty and off himself?
Yes, he has compiled a very impressive record of being wrong.
“Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”
“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”
I wonder if this was more wishful thinking on his part rather than a prediction...
Like that dolt has ever been correct.
Imagine a white Dorkbama.
Yeah, Erlich is THAT stupid.
He's like Al Gore.
He's never been right, even accidentally!
Climate change—or Global Warming—is a FAD, the sillyness of our age—like the LSD in Halloween Candyin the 1960s, and the Commie under every bed in the 1950s—Comedians will make jokes about it in the 2020s. It has no legs to stand on. World events will bury it as we inch towards WW III.
Paul Erlich, please STFU and go OFF yourself... you are wrong...as liberals are...
My first question, is just how OLD is this guy?
Answer: 83.
So my second question is, how do you live THAT long, and see everything you wrote turning out WRONG, yet you still cling to failed and frankly idiotic notions?
Third question: At what point do liberals say: "Hey this guy is a kook and a fraud. No point in listening to him any more."
Answer, (sadly): Never.
Hell, liberals still worship Rachel Carson.
