Ah, yes. Trek revisionist history. Nevermind they discovered warp drive on Alpha Centauri.

The year 2100 will resemble the world of Logan's Run. There will be a one world government, there will be no more hunting or fishing because all available land, lakes, rivers and streams will have been deemed off limits to enfringement so as not to harm the remaining environment.

Thrill sports such as hang gliding, rock climbing, parachuting.......you get the general idea.....will no longer be available due to being outlawed by the overseers in the new world government, or specifically, our local elected officials.

The year 2100 is definitely not a world I want to live in.......

Now we have scaremongers about food, global warming and resources. And NOBODY ever states that Ehrlich has been proven a boob.

I was wondering if Ehrlich was at the bottom of this nonsense.

Is he still alive? Maybe they froze his head for later...

All bets are off, though, if we allow pols and their fellow travelers to scare us into de-evolution with imaginary boogeymen.

The Nazis rationalized their crimes partly on junk science (and junk history, and junk religion, etc.). We have a new crop of politicians and activists who have a Nazi-like urge for domination and destruction, and their propaganda uses junk science to rationalize it.

We aren't that lucky. We're going to have to find another way to deal with the leftist-extremists.

He killed himself, as an inspirational example, to reduce the bootprint that human-unkind has stamped on the fragile neck of Mother Earth. Freezing his head was never seriously considered--think of all the electricity!

Seriously? Yes, he's alive, and he's still at Stanford.

Proviso -- this looks like another Erhlich/Malthusian nutjob hit piece.
Experts have a stark warning: that unless we change course, the "perfect storm" of population growth, dwindling resources and climate change has the potential to converge in the next century with catastrophic results.

IMHO, all the desperate pleas about mankind destroying the environment, emanate from those who recognize all the Judgments which will befall those who are not Raptured, but these precede His Millennial reign. Later, even the Earth shall be purged by fire prior to the New Heaven and New Earth being brought to man, but in the meantime, there is a desperate set of attempts to associate UFOS, beings from other planets, and anything other than God as a source of security from the events to come.

I caught a film, “Knowing” recently which falls into this same existential apocalyptic perspective, yet somehow acknowledging the spiritual domain, but still rebellious from anything God provides.

I find it amazing that so many people will acknowledge anything and everything about God, but in their hearts, adamantly refuse to simply place just a smidgen more faith alone in Christ alone, than absolutely no faith whatsoever, and appeal to anything but what God provides for their eternal assurance.

The global temperature dropped from 1945 to 1975 - when the most rapid industrialization and greatest anthropogenic CO2 expulsion occurred in the history of the world. There was no direct relationship between CO2 increases and global warming, and in fact Newsweek in 1975 said the world was headed toward another ice age. Why suddenly now they are convinced a relationship exists and it is in fact causal and that CO2 increase causes global temps to rise. Untrue. Since 1998 the global temps are dropping again. They have no explanation or have the audacity to stay that Global Warming is causing the temperature to drop. They are never wrong but only fit the facts to their climate model so they can control peoples’ lives.....just like the Marxists did.

None of their predictions are coming true, their models cannot even touch the surface of what is required for an interplanetary climate model.

The polar bear threat was a complete lie, in fact they are growing in numbers. If they have to lie to hoodwink people into believing their green agenda then I refuse to listen to them.

Blatent propaganda that takes everything to the nth degree (without taking into effect alternative theories, technological progress, innovations, etc.,)

Al Gore is having an orgasm no doubt.

If someone came with an alternative two-hour special, I’d think ABC would find some sort of lame excuse to say “no thanks, won’t show it.”
