Recommendable! Just a quick reminder that history is littered with many false, apocalyptic prophecies!
"... Take biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, who wrote the epic 1968 manifesto of error “The Population Bomb,” in which he predicted that “In the 1970s the world will undergo famines—hundreds of millions are going to start to death” from overpopulation. Wrong. ...
This point is hammered again in a new book by Marc Morano titled “Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think.” ...
These days, the hype machine celebrates radicals such as Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg [Blogged e.g. here about her. Thunberg is a case of child abuse and exploitation to style her like Joan of Arc], who said: “We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of economic growth. How dare you!” ..."
On May 4, 1989, Ehrlich warned of “rapid” climate change, that “we could expect to lose all of Florida, Washington D.C., and much of the Los Angeles Basin. … We’ll be in rising waters with no ark in sight.”
They repeated this disaster-movie routine on Jan. 11, 1990. Ehrlich claimed that when the ice sheet melts in Antarctica, the sea level would rise “not … 1 to 3 feet in a century but … 10 or 20 feet in a much shorter time.” He added: The Supreme Court would be flooded. You could tie your boat to the Washington Monument. And storm surges would make the Capitol unusable.”
Did any of this turn out to be true over the last 30 years? ...Does anyone remember the “enormous calamities” experienced by the human race since then?
These days, the hype machine celebrates radicals such as Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg [Blogged e.g. here about her. Thunberg is a case of child abuse and exploitation to style her like Joan of Arc], who said: “We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of economic growth. How dare you!” ..."
