"It is already too late to avoid mass starvation." Dennis Hayes, chief organizer--Earth Day 1 "[A]t least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years." Paul Ehrlich "By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine." Prof. Peter Gunter, North Texas State University "In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution... by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half..." `Life' Magazine, January 1970 "[A]ir pollution... is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone."
