Bill Gates laments ‘how apocalyptic a big part of the environmental movement has been’ – Calls Paul Ehrlich an ‘environmental Cassandra’ for ‘his predictions of Malthusian horrors’
Gates: 'Who won the bet? Simon. Definitively. Even as the world population grew from 4.5 to 5.3 billion in the 1980s, the five minerals that were included in the bet—chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten—collectively dropped in price by almost half. Ehrlich begrudgingly made good on the bet. But to this day he still does not concede that his predictions of Mathusian horrors have been off the mark.'
