EXCERPT FROM "PAUL EHRLICH - POPULATION, ENVIRONMENT, AND THE MILLENIUM ALLIANCE FOR HUMANITY AND THE BIOSPHERE" - SEE LINK BELOW FOR FULL LECTURE

As our population passes the 7 Billion mark Prof Paul Ehrlich warns against the "myths" of limitless population and economic growth.

In this 2011 Jack Beale Lecture Professor Paul Ehrlich focuses on four basic points. First that Homo sapiens is a small group animal, genetically and culturally attuned to existing with 50-150 other people, now trying to live in a group of seven billion. Secondly that the planet is vastly overpopulated, possibly as much as four times the long term carrying capacity. Thirdly his belief that one of the most dangerous myths to infect civilisation is that population and economic growth have no limits and that this myth is symbolic of the failure of education systems and the mass media; and finally the idea that incremental change will save us is comforting but dangerous.

How can you be wrong about nearly everything you say? Prof. Paul Ehrlich shows you how.

Amazing how this guy has been proven wrong over and over again yet is still held up as a reliable academic. Ridiculous.

[irthesinister]

This guy is the greatest snakeoil salesman of all time, and anyone who believes him should contact me immediately so I can sell you a piece of land in Florida that will allow you to survive his doomsday scenarios.

Possibly the most evil person in the last 2 centuries

[ronlamanna]

He refers to mankind as a small group ANIMAL..we are not Animals..We are created in the image and likeness of God..besides what is  a small group animal..where did that come from small group animal trying to be a large group animal..just total jibberish from an obvious atheist..

[Mr.chickensoup]

People that paid for this lecture wasted their money you should have went to a bar and listen to some drunk preaching at least it would have been better entertainment. 😅
