"The "Green Revolution" was a huge factor in the planet being able to sustain more population. A development Ehrlich didn't anticipate." Just so. He also didn't anticipate GMO plants producing their own insecticides, etc. He's one of a long line of gloom 'n doomers proved wrong only by scientific and technological advances. I see the danger is, as we continue to breed to 8 billion humans on the planet, that, sooner or later, science and technology WILL fail to play the role of the calvary. Conservatives in particular seem to be stuck on the concept that it will always bail us out, thus, no changes are needed.
