#3 The demographic projections of Paul Ehrlich in his '68 book said we'd all be starving now.

In The Population Bomb's opening lines the authors state that nothing can prevent famines in which hundreds of millions of people will die during the 1970s (amended to 1970s and 80s in later editions), and that there would be "a substantial increase in the world death rate." Although many lives could be saved through dramatic action, it was already too late to prevent a substantial increase in the global death rate. However, in reality the global death rate has continued to decline substantially since then, from 13/1000 in 1965–74 to 10/1000 from 1985–1990. Meanwhile the population of the world has more than doubled, while calories consumed/person have increased 24%.

#6 The demographic projections of Paul Ehrlich

I forget the year, but didn't Paul Ehrlich win the Nobel Prize for Being Wrong About Everything?

The Club of Rome report came out about the time of The Population Bomb. Not just gloom and doom, but actual computer models 'proving' we were totally boned.
