“By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people,” and when in 1974 he wrote “America’s economic joyride is coming to an end: there will be no more cheap, abundant energy, no more cheap abundant food.”

Hard to take these doomsday folks seriously when they keep missing the mark...by a lot!
The fact that this ridiculous charlatan, who has been completely wrong on every single one of his public pronouncements that I am aware of, is nevertheless treated as an acclaimed, award-winning "scholar" and enjoying a tenured sinecure at Stanford, no less, tells one everything one needs to know about the current state of government "science".
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. ... The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”
Not only was Paul Ehrlich ridiculously wrong, but he is now celebrated by the new “catastrophists”. I guess the IPCC realized that no wrong prediction will ever discredit its authors, so they brazenly declared 2030 as the “end of the world”.
What amazes me is that we now know younger dryas happened, and around 12,000 years ago sea levels rose 400 feet. We don’t know the exact length, but that took from decades to 1,000 years at most. In the last 125 years we’ve seen sea levels rise about 8inches (total) or 0.063inches per year. Compared to the recent past we are in great shape!!
But yet, they keep working at it. Are they suicidal? If there is no more abundant food or energy, it won't be because industry can't do it, it will be because they have been prevented from doing so.
Ah yes. I remember when Paul Ehrlich said

The very archetype of useful idiot.
And what does that say about those who follow him, not to mention those whose breadth of climate "science" comes from reading a feminist magazine?

They’re suicidal for you and me not them
