A recent article in the New York Times revisits the generalized pandemonium in the 1970s over fears of a global population explosion, due in large part to Paul R. Ehrlich's 1968 doomsday bestseller: The Population Bomb. The article inadvertently ties Ehrlich's apocalyptic thesis—and the widespread willingness to believe it—to the current climate change hysteria that has swept a large part of the planet. Ehrlich sold the world the idea that mankind stood on the brink of Armageddon because there was simply no way to feed the exponentially increasing world population. The opening line set the tone for the whole book: "The battle to feed all of humanity is over."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_protest-germany.jpg
