and should be embarrassed by their highlighting of doom-monger Paul Ehrlich's apocalyptic views in an interview on Sunday night. Ehrlich is as far from reputable scientific predictions as climate change denial scientists.
His past and unrepentant support for coercive fertility control, predictions that a billion people would starve to death and acceptance of triaging whole nations by cutting off food aid mark him as a dangerous extremist.
The cause of sustainable development for all the world's people is set back when extremists whose polemical views are not backed by credible research are allowed to crowd out reasonable and thoughtful voices.
Climate change is an immense challenge as is human development for the world's poor but Ehrlich does not offer constructive thoughts."
