Ehrlich's response to critics


Ehrlich has argued that humanity has simply deferred the
disaster by the use of more intensive agricultural techniques,
such as those introduced during the Green Revolution. Ehrlich
claims that increasing populations & affluence are increasingly
stressing the global environment, due to such factors as loss
of biodiversity, overfishing, global warming, urbanization,
chemical pollution & competition for raw materials.


This is the ****wit that is too stupid to even notice
that world population growth is fixing itself.

He maintains that due to growing global incomes,
reducing consumption & human population is critical
to protecting the environment & maintaining living
standards, & that current rates of growth are still
too great for a sustainable future.


He's a ****wit.
