Malthusian garbage recycled by Paul Ehrlich's doom-mongering acolytes. The same people who warn us we'd destroy the planet with our advanced technological civilization - the same one that has eliminated famine, disease and made life easier, pleasant and far more happy than it used to be in olden times. That's what the Left is upset about and it fears there will be more pie for people to share. The liberal notion about shrinking resources is just dead plain wrong!
