Meet Paul Ehrlich, Pseudoscience Charlatan




Renowned scientist Paul Ehrlich has been in the public spotlight for half a century now. But there's a question at the heart of the story of Ehrlich's unlikely rise to prominence. A question that must be answered. Why is it that this entomologist has become such a superstar of science, received so many accolades and awards, and wielded such influence over the public conversation on population despite being so remarkably, consistently, staggeringly wrong about the issues he presumes to lecture the public on?

Al Gore once again suggests ‘fertility management’ to fight global warming

Comment: It's always amazing how Establishment people like Gore end up touting the same old tired propaganda. Once you step outside the divide and rule nonsense of left and right beliefs and begin to really look objectively at these spell binding messengers like Gore,  you can begin to see concurrent themes which occur time and time again and which stretch back at least to the Club of Rome publications in the early 1970s. Once you make the links and know the fundamental beliefs behind all this rubbish (not least the money involved) you can begin to see the Magician behind the curtain.

Former Vice President Al Gore raised eyebrows last week when he suggested that “fertility management” was the key to fighting global warming and promoting economic development in poor countries. Gore’s comments drew criticism from free-marketeers who said his remarks amount to “eco-imperialism.”

“Gore’s agenda for saving the world from global warming has always included population control,” Myron Ebell, director of global warming and international environmental policy at the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Advocating population control specifically for Africa is just another form of imperialism.  Gore’s eco-imperialism is uncomfortably close to the original racist goals of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who advocated population control in order to control the number of black and brown people in the world.”

The world is expected to have more than 9 billion people by 2075, with much of that growth coming from developing countries in Africa. This is alarming to environmental activists like Gore, who argues that “fertility management” is needed to address a whole slew of global development issues, including mitigating global warming.
