The world's most renowned population analyst has called for a massive reduction in the number of humans and for natural resources to be redistributed from the rich to the poor.
Paul Ehrlich, Bing professor of population studies at Stanford University in California and author of the best-selling Population Bomb book in 1968, goes much further than the Royal Society in London which this morning said that physical numbers were as important as the amount of natural resources consumed.

Before we can do this, shouldn’t we be led to elect leaders who would put policies in place to effect this?
Oh wait, I guess we did.
Didn’t this egghead predict we’d all be dead by now?
Id start with all those here that can’t support themselves all welfare recipients and people on the government teat report for extermination
It sounds like the old Nazi is advocating genocide. I think we’ve already dealt with that back in the 30s and 40s.

The Stockpile Song
Take the flag down from the place
where it led the human race.
Run up U.N. white and blue.
That’s what your “leaders” want to do.
They don’t seem to understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.
Public schools were first to go.
They’re run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home
far from the propaganda zone.
For they don’t want to understand
we are a family loving band.
So spread the word around the land
and stockpile knowledge while you can.
Stage and screen and on T.V.
they’re mocking God in all we see.
They may close your church some day
but they can’t stop us when we pray.
For they refuse to understand
we are a Jesus loving band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile Bibles while you can.
Somewhere there near your hometown
professor’s robe or judge’s gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
For time will come they’ll understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.
If he really believes what he’s saying, he’d set a good example by snuffing himself first.
Wow! Great ditty! A keeper!
Wonder what value house this “intellectual” lives in? And how much is his retirement account(s)?
I bet it’s high enough that he could easily subdivide it and offer rent-free to the poor . . . or sell it and “redistribute” the proceeds.
Allowing for his little one room place, of course along with minimal subsistence. After all that’s what he wants for the rest of us poor slobs.
Does this turdball have any idea how little credibility he has? Are people actually BUYING this sh*t???
Put a bullet in your head, Paul, and then I might be impressed with your commitment on this issue.
And the measures to be undertaken to achieve that end would be...?
“We came up with 1.5 to 2 billion because you can have big active cities and wilderness”
If you look at Agenda 21 and how they plan to make Living Zones and Wilderness Zones don’t think for 1 second that these people are not serious.

A little history will help us remember who Paul Ehrlich is....
Julian L. Simon and Paul Ehrlich entered in a famous wager in 1980, betting on a mutually agreed-upon measure of resource scarcity over the decade leading up to 1990. Simon had Ehrlich choose five commodity metals. Copper, chromium, nickel, tin, and tungsten were chosen and Simon bet that their prices would decrease, while Ehrlich bet they would increase. Ehrlich ultimately lost the bet, and all five commodities that were selected as the basis for the wager continued to trend downward during the wager period.
In 1968, Ehrlich published The Population Bomb, which argued that mankind was facing a demographic catastrophe with the rate of population growth quickly outstripping growth in the supply of food and resources. Simon was highly skeptical of such claims, so proposed a wager, telling Ehrlich to select any raw material he wanted and select “any date more than a year away,” and Simon would bet that the commodity’s price on that date would be lower than what it was at the time of the wager.
Ehrlich and his colleagues (including John Holdren, later an advisor to President Barack Obama for Science and Technology) picked five metals that they thought would undergo big price increases: chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten. Then, on paper, they bought $200 worth of each, for a total bet of $1,000, using the prices on September 29, 1980, as an index. They designated September 29, 1990, 10 years hence, as the payoff date. If the inflation-adjusted prices of the various metals rose in the interim, Simon would pay Ehrlich the combined difference. If the prices fell, Ehrlich et al. would pay Simon.
Between 1980 and 1990, the world’s population grew by more than 800 million, the largest increase in one decade in all of history. But by September 1990, the price of each of Ehrlich’s selected metals had fallen. Chromium, which had sold for $3.90 a pound in 1980, was down to $3.70 in 1990. Tin, which was $8.72 a pound in 1980, was down to $3.88 a decade later.
As a result, in October 1990, Paul Ehrlich mailed Julian Simon a check for $576.07 to settle the wager in Simon’s favor.
Julian Simon died in 1998 ( He and Ehrlich are the same age ). But Paul Ehrlich is still alive (now 80 years old ) to annoy us.
Export all libs to the Middle East, Zimbabwe or Cuba
Yup, them Stanford perfessers sure do know their stuff.
How wrong do you have to be before someone considers you an expert?
He should start in China and leave the rest of us alone.
I thought Paul Ehrlich had died. How old is he? 120?
