Ah yes. I remember when Paul Ehrlich said

“By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people,” and when in 1974 he wrote “America’s economic joyride is coming to an end: there will be no more cheap, abundant energy, no more cheap abundant food.”

Hard to take these doomsday folks seriously when they keep missing the mark...by a lot!
