'There will always be people who hate other people, that belief in humanity’s essential badness will never disappear — and so the population-control movement will never shut up, no matter how badly their ideas fare in the real world,' TPCarney writes.
Ehrlich is a bug scientist who predicted in 1968 that huge portions of the world population were going to starve to death because the planet simply couldn’t sustain the current population. Since then, the world population has doubled, worldwide hunger has fallen, poverty has plunged, pollution has fallen, and recently, the percentage of the Earth used for agriculture has even started falling.
“People, people, people, people” was Ehrlich’s description of what is wrong with the world. Ehrlich first became convinced that overpopulation was a deadly threat when he saw a bunch of Indian people hanging out — and you can draw your own conclusions about this belief from that fact and from the language he uses to describe it.
Despite the lack of evidence behind the overpopulation scare,"people are bad" is a very common opinion. “Eight Billion People in the World Is a Crisis, Not an Achievement,” academic Naomi Orestes wrote in Scientific American recently. “More people will not solve the problem of too many people.”“Scolding regular people for contributing to climate change is out of fashion,” they write. “But scolding people for making new people is, apparently, totally fine.
