Science vs. Science

Science Adviser’s Unsustainable Bet :

"But the predicted famines and resource shortages never arrived. Instead, the amount of food consumed per capita around the world increased over the following decades, and the prices of food and natural resources continued their long-term downward trend. Even though poor countries rejected the coercive population-control policies advocated by Dr. Ehrlich, even though population boomed, even though the store of minerals in the Earth was finite, people adapted and ended up better off. Dr. Ehrlich and Dr. Holdren would have lost their bet whether they’d picked food or energy or other natural resources."
