Suddenly, ‘The Population Bomb’ Is a Population Bust

Stephen Moore, The Patriot Post
Overpopulation hysteria was to the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s what climate hysteria is today.
Paul Ehrlich wrote one of the most famous and bestselling books of the 20th century. It was called “The Population Bomb.” It was 300 pages of doom and gloom. The planet was being destroyed because human beings were reproducing like Norwegian field mice. It was a Darwinian nightmare leading the species inexorably back to a Neanderthal subsistence level existence.
We learned this from the book’s memorable, often-quoted and apocalyptic first sentence:
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970’s and 1980’s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” He predicted that highly populated countries such as India could not be saved from the extinction.
Overpopulation was to the 1960s, ‘70s and ’80s what climate change is today.
