Obama science czar John Holdren in 1971: A ‘New Ice Age’ likely

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 | Environment |

I’ve blogged about Obama science czar John Holdren’s wrong-headed environmental beliefs before. Now there’s a new chapter in the nuttiness.

Zombietime - John Holdren in 1971: “New ice age” likely:

In 1971, John Holdren edited and contributed an essay to a book entitled Global Ecology: Readings Toward a Rational Strategy for Man. He wrote (along with colleague Paul Ehrlich) the book’s sixth chapter, called “Overpopulation and the Potential for Ecocide.” (Click here to view a photograph of the table of contents, showing Holdren’s essay on pages 64-78; click on the image to the left to view the cover.) In their chapter, Holdren and Ehrlich speculate about various environmental catastrophes, and on pages 76 and 77 Holdren the climate scientist speaks about the probable likelihood of a “new ice age” caused by human activity (air pollution, dust from farming, jet exhaust, desertification, etc.).

Zombietime has scans of the original book. Good stuff.
