Other Ehrlich scenarios (he gets prickly nowadays if you call them "predictions", as well he might):
"Smog disasters" in New York and Los Angeles, claiming of the order of 200,000 lives.
U.S. life expectancy falling to 42 years by 1980.
All "important animal life" (whatever that means) in the oceans being extinct by 1980.
Why anyone still pays attention to this chucklehead is a mystery to me.
