Depopulation agenda architect Paul Erlich dead at 93. He had a long long run. He said western

00:08.160 --> 00:13.080
governments should end all food aid and argued for the forced sterilization of Indian men with three

00:13.080 --> 00:20.200
or more children. Paul Erlich, who was died at 93, was an entomologist specializing in butterflies

00:20.200 --> 00:26.020
though he became better known as a campaigner for population control. In the Population Bomb,

00:26.020 --> 00:32.020
1968, Erlich predicted imminent catastrophe as the result of human population growing faster than

00:32.020 --> 00:37.660
its ability to feed itself. In the 1970s, he proclaimed millions would starve to death as the

00:37.660 --> 00:43.000
weight of humanity bore down on the earth's resources. Six years later in the end of affluence

00:43.000 --> 00:48.220
in 74 written with his wife Anne, Erlich increased his death toll estimate suggesting that a

00:48.220 --> 00:54.760
billion or more people could die from starvation by the mid-80s and that by 1985 the world would

00:54.760 --> 00:56.620
be in an era of scarcity.
