Researchers say that one of the world's biggest oil companies made 
highly accurate predictions about global warming - while publicly 
dismissing any link between fossil fuels and climate change. The study 
in the journal 'Science' says Exxon Mobil's scientists knew about the 
risks of fossil fuels from the 1970s, but chose not to disclose them. 
Researchers have called their findings of the company's internal 
documents a "smoking gun".  Exxon denies the accusations. Could this 
study have consequences for Exxon? We speak to climate scientist Stefan 
Rahmstorf, he works at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research 
that published the study.

Show Summary: 
https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/53-william-rees
On this episode, Nate is joined by systems ecologist William E. Rees. 
Professor Rees outlines why most of the challenges facing humanity and 
the biosphere have a common origin - ecological overshoot. Bill also 
unpacks “the ecological footprint” - a concept that he co-created, that 
measures the actual resources used by a given population. Bill also 
describes his experience as a leading thinker in public policy and 
planning based on ecological conditions for sustainable socioeconomic 
development, and the challenges he’s faced working in a system which (so 
far) rejects such premises. Is it possible for a different way of 
measuring the system to set different goals of what it means to be 
successful as a society?

About Bill Rees:
William Rees is a population ecologist, ecological economist, Professor 
Emeritus and former Director of the University of British Columbia’s 
School of Community and Regional Planning in Vancouver, Canada. He 
researches the implications of global ecological trends for the 
longevity of civilization, with special foci on urban (un)sustainability 
and cultural/cognitive barriers to rational public policy. Prof Rees is 
best known as the originator and co-developer with Dr Mathis Wackernagel 
of ‘ecological footprint analysis’ (EFA), a quantitative tool that 
estimates human demands on ecosystems and the extent to which humanity 
is in ‘ecological overshoot.’ Dr Rees is a founding member and former 
President of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics; a founding 
Director of the OneEarth Living Initiative; a Fellow of the Post-Carbon 
Institute and an Associate Fellow of the Great Transition Initiative.

/[ New reason to get an electric car ] /
*Charging pup! Dogs prefer ELECTRIC cars to diesel vehicles - with the 
smoother ride reducing their heart rate by up to 30%*
Researchers took 20 dogs on short journeys in electric and diesel vehicles
-- They were more restless in the latter, breaking their lying position 
more often
-- Their heart rates were also reduced by up to 30 per cent in the 
electric car
-- Previous studies have linked a high heart rate to feelings of motion 
sickness
By FIONA JACKSON FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED:  30 November 2022
Just call them Elon Mutts - our dogs prefer electric vehicles over 
diesel cars.

A new study has revealed how electric cars offer a smoother ride with 
reduced road noise and vibration that can lower a pooch's heart rate by 
up to 30 per cent, helping to prevent car sickness.

Researchers at the University of Lincoln took 20 dogs on a 10 minute 
drive, first in an electric car and then in a diesel car.

Researchers at the University of Lincoln took ten test dogs on a ten 
minute drive, first in an electric car and then in a diesel car. They 
found that dogs were more restless in the fuel-powered vehicle, breaking 
their lying position 50 per cent more on average (stock image) 
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/11/30/11/65085927-11485375-image-a-104_1669806938307.jpg
Only one of the 20 dogs primarily travelled in an electric car in 
everyday life.

Professor Daniel Mills, professor of Veterinary Behaviour Medicine at 
the University of Lincoln, said: 'Our results clearly show that dogs 
seem to be more relaxed in electric vehicles, particularly when looking 
at behavioural traits such as restlessness.

'Additionally, an interesting and somewhat unintended revelation from 
the study came from the dogs that we identified as having potential 
symptoms associated with travel sickness.

'During their journeys in the electric vehicles, biometric recordings of 
these dogs revealed their heart rates slowed markedly more than when 
they were in diesel cars.

'This was of particular interest to us given an increase in heart rate 
is commonly associated with motion sickness. It's an intriguing result.'

While all the dogs chose to lie down for about a third of trips in both 
vehicle types, they chose to stand up significantly less in the electric 
car...
A separate study by CarGurus found that 58 per cent of dog owners say 
their dogs are prone to over-excitement during car journeys.

However, 48 per cent suffered from anxiety and 44 per cent showed signs 
of nausea while travelling.

Supporting the scientific study, owners who had driven their pooches in 
both a diesel and electric car reported their pets had a preference for 
the latter.

They found 39 per cent settled better, 43 per cent were calmer, 42 per 
cent seemed less anxious and 45 per cent whined less.

Chris Knapman, of CarGurus UK, said: 'We know from previous studies that 
the sharp increase in dog ownership in the past three years has caused 
many motorists to rethink what car best suits their needs.

'To date, our advice here has focused safety and practicality, and these 
remain the primary considerations.

'However, for those who regard the switch to an electric car as a good 
fit, this study will provide reassurance that it'll suit their dog as 
equally as well.'...
Driving with a dog in the car encourages motorists to be more careful 
behind the wheel, a study has revealed.

Over two thirds of drivers aged 18 to 24 travel more safely when 
accompanied by their four-legged companion, found analysis from Spanish 
car manufacturer Seat.

The survey showed that motorists in London and the south-east are the 
most receptive to having a dog in the car with the animal also lowering 
stress levels.

It also found that more than a third of drivers did not know about the 
rules of travelling with pets, with nine in ten unaware they risk a 
£5,000 fine and invalidating their insurance if an animal is left 
unrestrained.

/[The news archive - looking back at the cultural persuasion ]/
/*January 14, 2006 */
December 14, 2006: MSNBC's Keith Olbermann condemns the latest sleazy 
action by overrated novelist and climate-change denier Michael Crichton:

"In his last novel, he dismissed global warming.  So a political 
columnist for the 'New Republic' who went to Yale named Michael Crowley 
ripped him for it.  Now Crichton's got a new book out, in which he’s 
created a minor character who is a child rapist, and described as a 
political columnist who went to Yale, and who’s named Mick Crowley.  
Crichton’s publisher, Harper Collins, is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

"The real Michael Crowley is understandably upset that Crichton gave his 
name to a child rapist, but look, Mr. Crowley, it could have been worse; 
Crichton could have used your name for a character based on himself.  
Author Michael 'Vengeance is Mine' Crichton, today's Worst Person in the 
World."
