Wow - I didn't think this guy was still around ... but the San Francisco World Affairs Council has managed to dig him up -

Tuesday, Jan-18 One with Nineveh: Politics, Consumption, and the Human Future

Paul Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies, Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University; Author, The Population Bomb, Betrayal of Science and Reason, and The Science of Ecology In One with Nineveh, eminent scientists Paul Ehrlich and co-author Anne Ehrlich argue that continued population growth, expansion of current consumption patterns, and maldistribution of political and economic power are impeding our progress toward a sustainable society. Check In: 5:30 PM, Program 6:00 PM

Heh....  In old debater circles, Ehrlich is famous for being as wacky about the environment as Chomsky was about foreign relations.  Wikipedia's entry on him chronicles some of his funked out predictions -

For his multiple predictions of impending mass famine and economic catastrophe, some have compared him to Thomas Malthus. Ehrlich predicted that hundreds of millions of people would die of starvation during the 1970s because the earth's inhabitants would multiply at a faster rate than world's ability to supply food. According to Ehrlich, the United States would see its life expectancy drop to 42 years because of pesticide usage, the nation's population would drop to 22.6 million by 1999, and the use of insecticides in the United Sates would provoke a nuclear war. Ehrlich's predictions of catastrophic famines never materialized.

To say the least   ;-)

Perhaps my favorite, artful debunking of loony pundits of alltime was the famous wager between Ehrlich and Julian Simon (the Patron Saint of the Free Market Environmentalism school) over natural resource shortages.

I might try to attend the session just to glimpse how someone can continue to resurrect tired discredited ideas whilst still getting a speaking fee...    I'm sure the San Francisco audience won't disappoint - if there's one place in the world were six-figure income earners are almost eager to hear prophecies about economic doom & gloom this is it.
