The New York Times has confirmed that the population explosion has not wreaked horrors upon the world: the apocalyptic predictions of the 1960s have fallen \u201cas flat as ancient theories about the shape of the Earth.\u201d Some people won\u2019t believe that, but, if the Times says so, that\u2019s good enough for me.<\/p>\n<p>In an impressive video the Times\u2019 Retro Report team take us back to the hysteria whipped up by Paul Ehrlich\u2019s 1969 tract, The Population Bomb, and then sketch how it fizzled. They revisit not only Ehrlich himself (who is unrepentant) but other key figures who were believers then and have since accepted the evidence that population growth is not an unmitigated evil.<\/p>\n<p>The film is frank about how extreme the population control movement became.<\/p>\n<p>A young Stewart Brand, founding editor of the Whole Earth Catalogue and \u201ctotally\u201d persuaded by Ehrlich, is interviewed at a public starve-in staged to bring home the alleged connection between children and poverty. \u201cMaybe anyone who\u2019s thinking about having a third child ought to go hungry for a week,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>That was mild compared with Ehrlich\u2019s proposals for blacklisting of people, organisations and companies \u201cimpeding population control\u201d, responsibility prizes for childless marriages, a tax on children, a luxury tax on diapers and cribs, putting something in the water\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We see a newspaper article by Garrett Hardin questioning the right to have children.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also an admission that the ZPG gospel was a gift to the (eugenics inspired) birth control movement.<\/p>\n<p>The forced sterilisations in India under Mrs Gandhi are acknowledged \u2013 and their persistence today in some regions. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I dag leser jeg p\u00e5 Mercatornet at man &laquo;offisielt&raquo; har gitt om frykten for en befolkningsbombe p\u00e5 jorden &#8211; en frykt som ogs\u00e5 tilskyndet prevensjon, abort, sterilisering o.a.
