Extinction Rebellion should throw soup on Paul Ehrlich. Win-win.

When a 90-year-old man says there are too many people on the planet, you’re allowed to ask why he’s still sticking around. 🤣🤣 Best line of 2023, so far.

I'm actually shocked Dr. Ehrlich is still drawing breath in 2022. Huh. Who knew?

I've said it so many times, but it needs to be said again because no one is listening to a damn bike riding duck; There is no "Climate Crisis." There is, however, a political crisis masquerading as a climate crisis. Yes, the earth is warming up. But that will happen when you realize that we are still coming out of the most recent ice age. That Ice Age ended about 7-10,000 years ago. You know, when the pyramids were being built. In a geological span of 4.5B years (the age of the earth) 10,000 years is literally a rounding error. I did the math, the time since the last Ice Age is .000000022 of the life of our planet. See? A rounding error at best.

If you were to shrink the entire lifespan of the earth down to a single calendar year, the "climate crisis" is basically a warmer than expected evening on December 31st.

I'm still here, and I hope to be here for many years to come.

There is also the example of the lunatic Professor of Social Work at SUNY Stony Brook who called cops murders after they shot and killed the guy who lunged at them with a knife, seriously wounding two of them, one stabbed in the neck, and giving the third a 'minor' wound. They should have de-escalated the situation. The Social Work 'discipline' should be burnt to the ground and the earth salted.

I've got to renew my subscription, but the Bidenflation made this year particularly light. The kids came first, then the wife. At some point in the near future dad will get his online subscription money

One of my earliest memories is New Year's Day when I was 3 or 4 years old. I stumbled blearily into the kitchen for breakfast, still wearing my onesie, and Mom brightly said, "Happy New Year!" I immediately jolted awake, ran to the living room and looked out the front windows at the snow-covered street ... only to be severely disappointed. "Mom!" I cried. "Everything's still the same! Where's all the new stuff?" She then tried to explain the concept of Time to me.

Despite that recurring disappointment, I do still like the idea of putting last year in a box, and opening a new book with 12 clean, white pages on which I can write anything I want.

Not sure about loss of followers - maybe check your pricing model as it was just one tier, now it appears to be two?

Might wanna look at if those losses were also at the end of their subscription period as well.

I enjoy your writing, and will continue to support!

Are his defense attorneys insinuating that gender dysphoria makes people homicidal maniacs?

"The petition also includes reports citing a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, a condition that causes anguish and other symptoms as a result of a disparity between a person’s gender identity and their assigned sex at birth."

Well! Greetings to All! And especially our host! Welcome back Jim!

Paul Ehrlich should be famous for losing his bet with Julian Simon. The original bet was on the price of 5 metals: Chromium, copper, nickel, tin and tungsten. Ehrlich lost. He thought prices would go up due to scarcity. The prices went down due to human ingenuity and better extraction (per Simon's side). That said: Great line: "You're allowed to ask why he's still sticking around". Like eating bugs, their pronouncements about too many people don't apply to them.

As for Extinction Rebellion, I'm OK with lunatics who stop destroying Art.

Soleimani's death was a high point for Trump's Administration and Trump personally.

"You wouldn't execute a woman, would you?" "We're not."
