WATCH: ‘60 Minutes’ Gives Airtime to ‘Population Bomb’ Fanatic to Prophesy Mass Extinction

And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he’s a leading expert on the issue. Couldn’t “60 Minutes” find a fresh-faced, yet-to-be-discredited neo-Malthusian to hyperventilate about the end of the world? Why […]
Climate Heresy: To Avoid Extinction We Need More, Not Less CO2

The preprint’s author claims that is when the level could fall to a critical 150 […]

He’s wrong that immigration is the solution By Timothy P. Carney, Senior Columnist Chuck Schumer has made an intriguing comment.
