InfluenceWatch Podcast #251: The Patron Saint of Bad Science, Paul Ehrlich

In 1968, Paul Ehrlich claimed that “the battle to feed all of humanity is over” and that mass starvation was imminent. He was completely, utterly, and totally wrong. But because Ehrlich is a leader of the environmentalist movement, just last week, 60 Minutes brought him back to make more predictions of imminent doom unless we vastly reduce our quality of life.

Joining me and my colleague Sarah Lee to discuss Ehrlich’s life, work, and revival to aid the green agenda is Steve Milloy, Senior Legal Fellow at Energy and Environment Legal Institute.
