Case Study

As I was browsing through some article in a case study book, I came across some very outrageous predictions that were made about the future of our planet. Unrealistically, Ehrlich predicted that by the end of the 1970s, life on earth would be catastrophic and near impossible to live in.

The annual ocean fish yield would be reduced to 30 million metric ton the ocean world died.

The entire planet would be polluted with chlorinated hydrocarbon.

The Green Revolutions would collapse and there would be a complete loss of agriculture.

Starvation will sweep the human population

Fortunately, we are still alive. There are fish in the water. We are not starving and to some extent, we can breath all right. Most of Ehrlich’s predictions were far, far off. With the establishment of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the 1970s, all of those aspects were regulated. Most of his predictions may not have been true but it made a lot of citizens now concerned about the population control and pollutants.
