And the Bishop says “it’s a hoot”. I wonder where he got the idea that its was “the greatest snowstorm on record for the city” when no new records have been set?

How deeply ironic that “ehrlich” in German means “honest” !
Nullius in Verba
Just keep remembering that motto and fact check what Ehrlich says. It is only now there are all these climate ‘scientists’ that there are people that are capable of being wrong as often as him.
A lot of people don’t think that highly of any organisation with ‘Royal’ in its name…so no surprises here!
“I wonder where he got the idea that its was “the greatest snowstorm on record for the city” when no new records have been set?”
He got it from one of his favorites, a moron.
He’s quite right on the record. Ehrlich simply retweeted @wunderground https://twitter.com/wunderground/status/300253893315661824 which copied the NOAA report

ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

REPLY: I thought he was talking about Boston, which has no new record. Lots of expectations that Boston would set a new record the week leading up to it. – Anthony
Morons eh? He is obviously speaking from experience!
“There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men.” –Lord Acton.
Obviously I’m not talking about Ehrlich.
Record snow in Portland, ME?
Whew, good thing.
Why, just last year….

Apart from the Royal Society, you would find such spirit only in the lowest level discussions on the lowest level message boards. But nice to see them running our Societies.
Don’t forget that salaries for senior management at the Royal Society have gone through the roof there in the last few years.
The top earner has gone from £100K to £160K in six years.
At the same time govt funding has gone up 53%.
Coincidence?

The Royal Society is no longer what it was in the days of Newton, Hooke and Bacon. Its latest recruit has gone from being the golden guru of ‘The Population Bomb’ 1968 to being an irrelevant furiously tweeting raving ratbag completely out of touch with reality and the facts.
So Paul Ehrlich is pushing the idea of Foresight Intelligence on all of us as a way to plan and shape the future. All the while showing no interest in the lessons of the past. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/all-that-is-solid-melts-into-air-but-does-it-really/
If you’ve ever wondered why the UN agencies keep talking about a Knowledge Society while simultaneously showing no respect for genuine knowledge, there’s your answer. It’s not a good sign I used one of Uncle Karl’s most famous hyperbolic passages to make the point.
And I would assert that the “unifying central cultural thought for humanity” is in fact Sustainability. We may not believe it but the betting is our kids will soon enough by making fostering these beliefs at a deep emotional level the focus of much of the curricula. And it will be online so it will be hard to see.
Great cartoon Josh especially as I have to read so much of this nonsense.
If we are remaking civilization based on new values, why on Earth should they be the Ehrlichs’ values?
All I saw was The Three Musketeers together.
Ehrlich, Mann and Gleick tweeting away.
My Granny used to say “You’re known by the company you keep.”
Put Al Gore on their side and I have no choice where to place my trust.
Anybody ask Ehrlich, “Where are all the corpses?”
Global warming: The latest scam from the elite.

Amazing how someone, such as Ehrlich, who has been consistently dead wrong in his predictions for decades, and a common boor to boot, is still considered as a seer by many in supposed learned societies.
There’s no business like the doomsday business.

Actually, there is a great similarity with Global Warming here. This guy is trying to sell a global catastrophe (via meteor strike), in return for greater funding. Same scam, different name.

Gad it is almost as bad as (gasp) 1978. We all know what the temperature anomaly was then.

“What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;…”
The tragedy, as ntesdorf says: February 10, 2013 at 1:11 pm, is that the Royal Society has gone from Newton, Hooke, Bacon, Wren and Boyle to Nurse.
You may dismiss Ehrlich all you want but as a long time associate and previous colleague of Obama’s science adviser John Holdren, his views have a direct hotline to the President.
When Obama says he will do what is necessary to save the planet for our children, you can rest assured that “those who know what’s best for us” have strong beliefs and will stop at nothing to achieve their ends.
Where planetary survival is concerned, the end justifies the means. The “morons” and “deniers” are likely to be the first to be swept aside in the coming “new order”.
And now they will move the goal post yet again to suit their needs.
Um, “morons” is a term NOT intended to describe the man’s supporters, who might qualify under my own (conventional) definition.
Gosh! And here I was thinking we should all have been dead, maybe several times, by now. Sorry “Honest”, the population bomb should have blown us all back to cro-magnon. But, you know, somehow it didn’t. Or did it? Given how many of us seem to be able to come to the exact wrong conclusion these days……
But some of us graduated from thin doom and gloom mantras. I read the Pop. Bomb in a first ever high-school class on “Environmental Studies” in the Charlotte, NC school system. I came away from that class programmed, thinly, with a lot of eco feldercarb. De-programming took a tad longer. Pretty much the time your first “predictionz” should have come true. By that time I was a lot better researcher, but it was also clear that you are no better of a seer.
It might behoove us all to remember that the only known substitute for intelligence is ignorance.
The man’s a raving lunatic.
All these tweets from the idiot who got so many predictions of doom so very wrong in his past. One wonders how anyone pays him any attention, much less invites him into the RS, when his pas predictions were so far off as to be laughable.
I want some of what Paul Ehrlich is smoking. I read the tweets and he is a disgrace to the scientific community. How is it that such FAILURE in predictions about the future is rewarded?
CAGW is a scam. Paul Ehrlich puts Malthus to shame.
