Wilfred Reilly destroys Paul Ehrlich in two tweets
Here was Ehrlich’s pathetic sanctimony after 60 Minutes tried to present him as a reputable expert in order to advance Climate Fear Porn.
60 Minutes extinction story has brought the usual right-wing out in force. If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor. Sure I've made some mistakes, but no basic ones
And then Wil pulled his pants down…
@PaulREhrlich You predicted that modern human civilization would collapse by, IIRC, 1979.
Seems like a pretty "basic," major mistake to me.
@PaulREhrlich The first sentence of your best-known book is: "The battle to feed all of humanity is over." Twitizens watching the debate can read on from there below.
The fact that this sandwich-board doomsday prophecy still garners some support in the academy is not the flex you think.
Somebody call the coroner.
Wilfred from the top ropes with "the people's elbow."
Screenshots from the guy's own book. That's hittin' below the belt! 🤣
