*The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. -- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971)
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer -- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)
*I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 -- Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
*In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. -- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion -- Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
*This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century -- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production - with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. -- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
*This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976
*If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
Since 1978, the ice cap has shrunk by nearly three or four percent per decade. At the turn of the century there will be no more ice at the North Pole in summer," Ola Johannessen (2003)
I'm sure there's plenty of room for you in the wonderful country of Iraq. If you hurry, you can still get there just before we kick Saddam's worthless ass, again. With any luck at all, you can personally take a few rounds for him.
Excellent response. That throw away line about sending anti-war Email to our 'president' did not belong in this story. I get sick of the knee-jerk left-wing propoganda that slashdots 'editors' routinely insert into otherwise legitimate posts.
I've worked in government facilities supporting UNIX/VMS/WIN boxes for over 5 years. I regularly have my ID and bags checked coming and going. It's no big deal. I'm not trying to take anything in or out that I'm not supposed to, and I want them to catch the people who are. The rest of the country is just now catching on to the need for security measures - the world has changed. Get used to it.

Someone has probably suggested this already, but I don't recall seeing it. Why not add a section to /. for prior art, as an archive of references?
