97: The Wit and Wisdom of Paul Ehrlich
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Continuing our tribute to the late Paul Ehrlich, we discuss the critiques and praise that followed news of his passing, and we share a VERY candid – and charming – "uncensored" 2020 Earth Day conversation. Paul points out a flaw on the cover of The Population Bomb. Can you guess what it is? Listen to find out.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> In our prelude and epilogue, we discuss his acerbic wit – was it helpful or did it hurt the cause of overshoot literacy? One fact is certain: Paul wasn't boring. What if thousands of scientists around the world spoke with Ehrlich's level of candor about the state of the world, and how tenuous our future really is as we continue deeper and deeper into overshoot? Plus, learn some interesting details about his relationship with Johnny Carson and NBC, failures of the university system, the relationship between population and pandemics, comparative advantage, and the vulnerability of our food system.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;

Paul Ehrlich (1932-2026): Behaving Against Our Interests
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We lost scientific and environmental icon Paul Ehlich on March 13. We're honoring his memory by revisiting Dave Gardner's first interview with Paul, outside his Stanford University office in 2007 for the documentary, GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ehrlich was most famous for authoring, with wife Anne Ehrlich, the bestselling 1968 book, The Population Bomb. While the book inspired widespread concern about human overpopulation, those who profited from growth worked to discredit the book, the scientist, and the notion that human numbers above 2 or 3 billion would seriously harm our life-supporting ecosystems. Undaunted by the critics, Ehrlich spent the next 58 years speaking the truth that we were testing very real limits to growth.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">We'll devote several episodes of the GrowthBusters podcast to this smart and fearless scientist. This episode reprises episode 110 of the Conversation Earth syndicated radio series.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>LINKS:</strong></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Conversation Earth radio series: <a href="http://www.conversationearth.org/episode-list/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.conversationearth.org/episode-list/</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">GrowthBusters Podcast episodes featuring Paul Ehrlich:</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">#70 Paul Ehrlich on The Limits to Growth: <a href= "https://www.growthbusters.org/ehrlich-limits-to-growth/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span class= "s3">https://www.growthbusters.org/ehrlich-limits-to-growth/</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">#43 Paul Ehrlich Uncensored on Earth Day 50</span><span class= "s4"><sup>th</sup></span> <span class= "s1">Anniversary: <a href= "https://www.growthbusters.org/ehrlich-earth-day-2020/" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.growthbusters.org/ehrlich-earth-day-2020/</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"> </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">New York Times obituary: <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/books/paul-r-ehrlich-dead.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class= "s3">https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/books/paul-r-ehrlich-dead.html</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Population Bomb: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Population_Bomb" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Population_Bomb</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">One With Nineveh – by Paul and Anne Ehrlich: <a href= "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/282038.One_With_Nineveh" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/282038.One_With_Nineveh</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Meeting the Challenges of Population, Environment, and Resources: The Costs of Inaction – by Paul Ehrlich, Kenneth Arrow, E.O.
