When was the last time an astronomer (a professional that looks at the night sky with professional instruments) saw a UFO?

And that graph doesn't show China, who is on the brink of a demographic collapse ... Mexico's not far behind, either.
Looks like the 'Population Bomb" has been neutralized for a bit.

The Book That Incited a Worldwide Fear of Overpopulation
‘The Population Bomb’ made dire predictions—and triggered a wave of repression around the world
Ehrlich, now 85, told me recently that the book’s main contribution was to make population control “acceptable” as “a topic to debate.” But the book did far more than that. It gave a huge jolt to the nascent environmental movement and fueled an anti-population-growth crusade that led to human rights abuses around the world.

Born in 1932, Ehrlich was raised in a leafy New Jersey town. His childhood love of nature morphed into a fascination for collecting insects, especially butterflies. Something of a loner, as precocious as he was assertive, Ehrlich was publishing articles in local entomological journals in his teens. Even then he was dismayed by environmental degradation. The insecticide DDT was killing his beloved butterflies, and rapid suburban development was destroying their habitat.

I wonder what the sum total of repression around the world will be after the CAGW hoax has finally run its course over the next 30 years or so?

The hoax part of CAGW will never run its course as people with preconceived notions will always exist but the factual (from actual data) part, will hopefully be history in the next 30-50 years.

Just remember there are 4 letters in the acronym. Only one of them has to be a hoax for the whole house of cards to topple.

Amazon Prime slammed for removing main scene of It's A Wonderful Life
An abridged version of the 1946 film has been edited to leave out a scene that many consider the most important in the movie, which follows the character of businessman George Bailey as he considers taking his own life.
...
But in the abridged version of the film on Prime, the moment where the angel tells George he has to earn his wings abruptly cuts to George happily running through the streets after he's reconciled with his own life - without including what led him to his newfound acceptance.
