Just in case you wonder why some of us bristle at the very idea of "settled science" (which is by definition an oxymoron), and even more so by the claims to it of certain leftists, behold: a list of the "settled" truths of the first Earth Day, 1970, most of them the work of Paul Ehrlich, still a feted "scientist", leading Stanford professor, fellow of the Royal Society and hero of the left.

1. It's already too late to save the world from mass starvation, due to runaway pollution and overpopulation.

2. 200 million people will be starving to death by 1980, a large percentage of them in Europe and the United States.

3. By 1985 air pollution will be so extreme that all people everywhere will have to wear gas masks when outdoors.
