CBS “60 Minutes” Promotes Scientist Who Claimed Billions Would Die From Global Cooling
VIDEO: 8 Minutes of Stanford University's Paul Ehrlich Spreading Pseudoscience

20 hr ago
On Sunday night, CBS’s flagship news program, “60 Minutes,” highlighted warnings from a Stanford University biologist named Paul Ehrlich. In the broadcast, Ehrlich claimed, “humanity is not sustainable… for the entire planet, you'd need five more Earths.”

But that claim was debunked in the peer-reviewed scientific journal PLoS Biology, by leading scientists, including the Chief Scientist of The Nature Conservancy, nearly a decade ago.

And archival footage shows Ehrlich claiming that global cooling, not global warming, would result in global famine.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
