He's flooded in Sydney, where he predicted drought, and snowed in in Canada when he predicted heat.<BR/><BR/>I predict this man has a long and prosperous future in the environmental movement. Ehrlich is getting old, it's time someone stepped into his shoes and became "Mr. Never Right".<BR/><BR/>http://www.washingtonpolicy.org/pressroom/pressreleases/4_22_2008.html<BR/><BR/><B>The Swartzberg Test:<BR/> The validity of a science is its ability to predict.</B><BR/><BR/>By this measure, so-called "Environmentalists" -- not scientists at all:<BR/><BR/> * “By 1985...air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the earth by one half” – Life magazine, January 1970<BR/><BR/> * By 1995, “...somewhere between 75 and 85 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.” Sen. Gaylord Nelson, quoting Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, Look magazine, April 1970.<BR/><BR/> * “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich, interview in Mademoiselle magazine, April 1970.<BR/><BR/>etc.<BR/>Lots more in the article... it would be comical if these people weren't taken seriously regarding policy.<BR/><BR/>People still listen to Ehrlich and he's never been right yet.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
