Dr. Wimmer was right all along

So back in Economics 110 Dr. Wimmer mentioned that there was once a book called The Population Bomb. In this book Paul R. Ehrlich claims that due to overpopulation that there would be mass starvation "hundreds of millions would starve to death" in the 1970's and 1980's. His book was a best seller, although now people who bought the book would be called "suckers" or "Members of the Sierra Club". But there are still people who are very concerned about the population and the effect it will have on our limited resources. (To prove that Ehrlich was full of hot air Julian Simon wagered with him to show increase in population will be to our benefit)

Dr. Wimmer said that he wanted to write a book called The Real Population crisis. I am sure had he done such he would have been a laughing stock (at least by the members of the sierra club on their way to buy The Population Bomb). But it looks like years latter The Economist would be siding with him.

P.S. Look to see who has been winning the debates.
