Population Doomsday on 60 Minutes - In The Tank Podcast #379

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 379 of the In The Tank Podcast. With the start of a new year, climate alarmism has been given center stage. 60 Minutes recently ran a segment about the looming population doomsday. The segment, featuring noted doomsayer Paul Ehrlich, promoted dire warnings like "humanity is unsustainable," and how we are "in the midst of sixth mass extinction." Also, the UN convened a conference on biodiversity a few weeks ago where world leaders agreed to a bunch of principles which could have major implications.OPENING CHIT CHAT NYT - Live Updates: McCarthy Loses 4th Vote for Speakerhttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/01/04/us/house-speaker-vote  60 MINUTES – POPULATION DOOMSDAY Reason - 60 Minutes Promotes Paul Ehrlich's Failed Doomsaying One More Timehttps://reason.com/2023/01/03/60-minutes-promotes-paul-ehrlichs-failed-doomsaying-one-more-time/ National Review - Population-Bombers Are Going Extincthttps://www.nationalreview.com/2023/01/population-bombers-are-going-extinct/ CBS News - Scientists say planet in midst of sixth mass extinction, Earth's wildlife running out of places to livehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/earth-mass-extinction-60-minutes-2023-01-01/  2022 UN BIODIVERSITY CONFERENCE NPR - Negotiators at a U.N. biodiversity conference reach a historic deal to protect naturehttps://www.npr.org/2022/12/19/1144065910/a-u-n-pact-finds-agreement-to-save-nature-seen-as-vital-for-biodiversity CNN - More than 190 countries sign landmark agreement to halt the biodiversity crisishttps://www.cnn.com/2022/12/19/world/cop15-biodiversity-agreement-montreal-climate-scn-intl/index.html CBD - COP15: Nations Adopt Four Goals, 23 Targets for 2030 in Landmark UN Biodiversity Agreementhttps://www.cbd.int/article/cop15-cbd-press-release-final-19dec2022
