Aaah yes. He's back. Ehrlich that is. I cringe whenever I hear his name. His loyal devotees are legendary in their willingness to put up with the continued failure of his predictions. They still BELIEVE no matter what. Ian Dunlop, too, Club of Rome member gets a mention too. He is a former Chairman of the oil,gas and coal association but having profited nicely from that venture has joined other former industry execs in their new quest for fame and fortune in the world of Big Green.

As for the "too many people" hypothesis, I'm afraid this simplistic Malthusian view of the world goes nowhere these days. The world is better off than its ever been.

Stevenlmeyer trying "to forestall the usual crowd who claim global warming is a myth or that it peaked in 1998", is like pushing it up hill with a sharp stick, you just can't do it.

No matter how much you, Jenny, Luci & the others huff & puff, the truth as told by observation, is becoming overwhelming. Time to give up the scam, & go do something useful.

For many it is time to have the guts to say what they really mean. That is we must get serious about world population in general, & Oz population in particular.

If this comes across as mean & nasty, so be it. Trying to cover your nasty desire for self preservation with some gobbledegook about global warming is a cop out.

Leave the global warming fabrication for the fairies down the bottom of the garden, & get honest with what must be done. Cover-ups never work, & only discredit the real message

Is there any more convincing demonstration of the strength of the environmentalists' Reality Distortion Field than the fact that Paul Ehrlich not only still has a job, but is invited and flown to gatherings of the faithful all around the world to give them at length the same warnings and predictions he has been absolutely and unequivocally mistaken about -- in principle and in detail -- since the very beginning of his career?

This is a man who has been demonstrably wrong about every single claim he has made in public since 1967. It's an absolute dead rock-solid certainty that if Ehrlich says something in public, it's a falsehood. Even if there was no other evidence against AGW, the fact that Ehrlich believes in it would almost be enough in itself to prove it false.

Making connections? making risible and absurd social science. Ehrlich was a joke back in 1970s and now, like the Kracken, he has surfaced again. Who pays for this anachronism to come out here? Who funds these conferences?

You and I do.

It's time we had a look at how Goldie's organisation, the SPA, is using generous tax deductable donations to promote a social engineering agenda. The SPA is NOT an environmental group nor is it a charity but an anti-population lobby group.

They should have their tax deductability removed.

Malcolm paddy Cheryl King: you say,
"The SPA is NOT an environmental group nor is it a charity but an anti-population lobby group."
Is there something wrong with that?
I would have thought that any one with any cerebral processes at all would be donating like mad to them to do something about it.
