We’ve talked about how climate
change advocates are simply Maluthusian tools who, like Malthus before them,
takes incomplete perspective into their thinking and come to panicked
predictions. (see here, here, here, here, and
here. Any
questions?) At least the honest ones do that. But these same environmentalists
keep screaming and screaming that we have to do something now.
Well to give it some perspective,
let’s take a look at how accurate their predictions have been over the years
(hat tip to here for
the info). For example, on April 19, 1970, ecologist Kenneth Watt said,
“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.” I don’t know
about you, but it looks later than 1975 to me.
Or how about Paul Ehrlich’s
prediction from 1969:
“By…[1975]
some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of
world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other
experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not
occur until the decade of the 1980s.”
At some point, you would think these
people would ask themselves, “Are we stupid?” or, at least, “Could we have been
wrong?” But, no! They still say that we still need government to save us from
ourselves.
What’s your take on it: Are
environmentalists stupid or are the rest of us the useful idiots? Sound off
below.

There are
two groups operating here. The first
group starts with one academic Marxist looking for reasons to support the
eventual formation of a one-world government elitist oligarchy, but would also
like to start a stampede they could profit from. This group knows it’s a scam
and they are the scammers. For these guys, telling big lies and getting by with
it is a form of recreation for them. They like to use “what-if” computer
models.
The next
group are the Play-dumb Marxists, who will run with anything the academics
throw out there and will defend it with a straight face, not matter how
wrong-headed the prediction is. They will also find a way to profit from the
scam.
