environment/population control movement. In The Population Bomb, Ehrlich praised abortion as "a
highly effective weapon in the armory of population control," and suggested that "compulsory birth
regulation" through the government-mandated addition of "temporary sterilants to water supplies or
staple food" may become necessary.8
A few months earlier, in the Winter 1968 issue of Stanford Today, he was even more explicit. "It must
be made clear to our population," he said, "that it is socially irresponsible to have large families." Then,
completely disregarding parental rights, norms of morality, and the fact that our constitutional system
grants the federal government absolutely no authority to meddle in such affairs, he called for "federal
laws making instruction in birth-control methods mandatory in all public schools."9
Increasing the intensity of his totalitarian demands, he stated, "If these steps fail to reverse today’s
population growth, we shall then be faced with some form of compulsory birth regulation. We might
institute a system whereby a temporary sterilant would be added to a staple food or to the water supply.
An antidote would have to be taken to permit reproduction."10 (Emphasis added)
Sound a bit authoritarian Well, according to this anti-population crusader, we’re facing a deadly serious
situation, and the "operation will require many brutal and tough-minded decisions."11
Ehrlich’s critical acclaim in the major media and his phenomenal book sales ushered in a doom boom
that has fed, and in turn has been fed by, an ever-expanding proliferation of population control
programs. They are funded by tax dollars funneled through national government agencies, the United
Nations, and an international network of private anti-natalist organizations. Of the many ecological
jeremiads following in the wake of The Population Bomb, two of the most influential were The Limits to
Growth (1972),12 a report produced for the Club of Rome, and the Global 2000 Report to the President
of the United States (1980),13 a federal government publication that gives legitimacy to the thoughts of
a large assemblage of professional wailers from environmental/population control circles.
The Limits to Growth has sold over 10 million copies and has been translated into more than 30
languages. The prodigious Global 2000, whose physical size resembles a New York City telephone
book, sold over one million copies. Both achieved an aura of importance with their reliance on
sophisticated computer modeling to analyze massive banks of data, factor in various assumptions and
variables, and then predict the future.
Like Ehrlich, these publications predicted a dismal future for both mankind and nature unless
governments intervened on a massive scale. As the Club of Rome’s researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology reported in The Limits to Growth: "Entirely new approaches are required to
redirect society toward goals of equilibrium rather than growth." And, "joint long-term planning will be
necessary on a scale and scope without precedent." The ultimate goal of this "supreme effort" would be
"to organize more equitable distribution of wealth and income worldwide."14 Karl Marx could not have
phrased it better. And, of course, the social engineers with their mighty computers would show the way.
Not everyone, however, was favorably impressed by their efforts or their results. Scientists and scholars
from many disciplines, representing a broad cross-section of political thought, thoroughly discredited
these studies with facts, logic, and sound analysis. Even socialist Gunnar Myrdal, certainly no opponent
of heavy-handed government, remained unconvinced that the celebrated MIT researchers had made a
worthwhile contribution to our knowledge of the world, how it works, or what to expect in the future.
The Nobel Prize-winning economist said of the Club of Rome’s vaunted "science":
[T]he use of mathematical equations and a huge computer, which registers the alternatives
