Find a very old publication that was incorrect and present this as the sum total of data, ignoring all of the correct predictions since.

Yep, that'll fool 'em.
You look to fool people?

Sandwich boards advertising that the End is Near are all selling salvation.

Salvation is yours, if you just do the right thing.

The rationale for the Population Bomb sandwich board has not changed.

The Population Bomb replaced or supplimented Revelations as the authority for end-times.

The details change but the worship gene stays the same.

"Famine has not been eliminated, but its root cause has been political instability, not global food shortage.[20] The Indian economist and Nobel Prize winner, Amartya Sen, has argued that nations with democracy and a free press have virtually never suffered from extended famines.[21] And while a 2010 UN report stated that 925 million of the world's population of nearly seven billion people were in a constant state of hunger,[22] it also notes that the percentage of the world's population who qualify as "undernourished" has fallen by more than half, from 33 percent to about 16 percent, since Ehrlich published The Population Bomb.[23]"

Have you forgotten about all of the correct predictions since Ehrlich?

Of course you have. I won't provide them to you as you will just forget them again.

Above all else, it's stupidity that makes the world go round. Stupidity is the fabric and structure upon which societies are built, and will also be our eventual demise. :)

I didn't say it wouldn't?

What's normal?

Walker, I won't waste my time on your political game playing. I have been burnt too many times.

You have almost certainly been exposed to material pointing out the many correct predictions made regarding the climate. If not, then you are more deeply caught within the Fox/Breitbart media circle than expected.

It shouldn't take all that much effort as it's probably a short list.

… is usually a good investment if the publication becomes iconic and the copy is pristine.

The list is too exhaustive to sort through - decades of correct predictions from numerous laboratories around the world.

It appears that you are too unskilled to even even find a single example of climate change predictions outside of Paul Ehrlich's 1968 book, which you cling to like a security blanket because it contains EVERYTHING that you know about climate research.

It's no surprise that one like you who lacks search and research skills would believe Trump's lies. Lacking the capacity to check the most basic facts, you use cheap and ugly rhetorical games to pretend to be someone in the modest company here at the forum, but it is still operating far beyond your feeble intellectual capacities.

Go back to Fox, thickhead. Or is that complex for you to read and understand too?

Regarding climate change... here's a bunch of material with resources.

Do you need more, Walker? What is your criteria for proof?

Guess y'all couldn’t find any Population Bomb predications that came true.

Evidence indicates that the population of the planet is not only sustainable, it’s thriving relative to any Chicken Little clucking going on, which nullifies the dusty old population-bomb predictions of doom from the cold war era that are echoed on all the secular sandwich boards.

And you know what? As soon as the population is not sustainable, it will start to decrease, not increase and thrive.

As I stated, my post was concerning climate change.

Do you think climate change is a hoax, Walker?
