The Myth That Our Planet Faces an Overpopulation Crisis

• https://fee.org by Barry Brownstein

hortly after my wife graduated from college, she joined Zero Population Growth. Looking back, she tells me it was an emotional reaction fueled by reading Paul Ehrlich's apocalyptic claims. In his book, The Population BombEhrlich wrote: "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now."

Ehrlich's book, despite being spectacularly wrong, influenced millions. Zero Population Growth has morphed into the Population Connection. Ehrlich is unrepentant and still claims the collapse of civilization is a "near certainty" in the not too distant future.
