Holdren : New ice age will kill 1 billion
WorldNetDaily ^ | October 08, 2009 | Jennifer Rubin

White House science czar John Holdren has predicted 1 billion people will die in "carbon-dioxide induced famines" in a coming new ice age by 2020.

As WND previously reported, Holdren predicted in a 1971 textbook co-authored with Malthusian population alarmist Paul Ehrlich that global over-population was heading the Earth to a new ice age unless the government mandated urgent measures to control population, including the possibility of involuntary birth control measures such as forced sterilization.

Holdren's prediction that 1 billion people would die from a global cooling "eco-disaster" was announced in Ehrlich's 1986 book "The Machinery of Nature."

Holdren based his prediction on a theory that human emissions of carbon dioxide would produce a climate catastrophe in which global warming would cause global cooling with a consequent reduction in agricultural production resulting in widespread disaster.

On pages 273-274 of "The Machinery of Nature," Ehrlich explained Holdren's theory by arguing "some localities will probably become colder as the warmer atmosphere drives the climactic engine faster, causing streams of frigid air to move more rapidly away from the poles." (Emphasis in original text.)

Just as long as carbon dioxide can be used to terrify the sheeple into giving up cars, electricity and most of all moeny, it really doesn’t matter whether it’s warming or cooling, does it?

Is it possible that John Holdren has never heard of Sol, our sun?

Where does this guy get his science? Science Fiction Channel?

Oh there is a channel involved. More like channeling and Tarot cards.

Holdgren is quite possible the most insane person to ever step foot in government. I bet he gets a Nobel Prize one day.

I don't care who you are, that was funny!

Where the F is Al Gore? We need someone with knowledge to explain all this to us.
This is getting confusing.

They want to do these things anyway no matter what the weather’s like. Sociopaths all of them. They hate human beings and want most of them dead.

Didn’t read the article, threw up on my boots, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut. We are in the inter-ice age warming period. There will be another ice age and people will die.

Wait, WHAT?!

CO2 is food for plants. It’s good. It’s also a minuscule part of the atmosphere (see Michael Chricton’s illustration of CO2 in the atmosphere... a pencil-lead width at the goal line of the football field representing the atmosphere.).

It’s obvious. Holdren hates trees.

Tree hater.
