Thanks for posting this. Too bad he isn't with us today to battle the man-made global warming zealots. These are the same Malthusians Simon confronted years ago, making similar religious arguments about how man causes all that is bad, but with no proof.
I always enjoy having a little fact behind my intuitions, especially in dealing with extremists. Did you know that Darwin derived some of his central ideas about natural selection from his reading of Malthus? Not disputing evolution as a theory, but it makes you think.
This is kind of off topic, but very interesting. Worth the read. DOOMSLAYER
