Noted enviromental kook and Malthusian Paul Ehrlich, who famously lost a bet with Julian Simon about resource scarcity in 1980, seems to have gone over the deep end. In a memo to President Obama, he bemoans "the potential impacts of nuclear war, racism, sexism, economic inequity, and on and on" unless we can change human behavior "to direct humanity toward a sustainable society before it is too late." This is just the sort of "I know better than you" elitist advice I'm sure the White House is waiting to get on healthcare.
