I think it was Brownie after the hurricane, but it was on FOX so may have been dubbed in.

The Population Bomb (1968) is a book written by Paul R. Ehrlich. A best-selling work, it predicted disaster for humanity due to overpopulation and the "population explosion". The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation.
The predictions not only did not come true,

I'm pretty sure that your question was to make a point -- one with which I agree. Alarmists often tend to be wrong. The person who penned your quote is Paul Ehrlich. His link to global warming alarmists is that he (like environmentalists today) based his prediction upon a mathematical model. His model's failure proved that garbage in does truly produce garbage out.
I think that you already knew that it wasn't Al Gore, but on the off-chance that you didn't know, searching the text below on Google will tell you who it was:
"hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs"
