<b>Overpopulation: From 8 billion to 3 | Phoebe Bernard</b><br>
Sep 22, 2022 Phoebe Barnard is a biologist, global change
scientist, and policy analyst with decades of experience confronting
some of the most pressing problems of our time, bridging the gap
between academia and government. She’s also CEO of the Stable Planet
Alliance, a coalition of scientific, legal, social, health, media,
policy, leadership, faith, culture, and grassroots organizations
tackling the overpopulation and hyperconsumption problem.<br>
<br>
Phoebe joins me to discuss overpopulation—its effects, our
trajectory, and the difficult decisions we face as a species. She
argues we must reduce our population to 3 billion in the next
century if planet earth is to survive, and us along with it, warning
that population reduction policies may be forced on citizens in the
future if we do not choose for ourselves now. <br>
<br>
We discuss the morality and politics of overpopulation, addressing
the West’s all-too-recent history of eugenics and ethnic cleansing.
We then explore population reduction as an intergenerational right:
There may be less of us in the future, but those future people may
be better off for it.<br>

<b>Julian Cribb The Age of Renewable Food</b><br>
Sep 21, 2022 Summary:<br>
<blockquote>The world food supply is balanced on a knife
edge—growing less and less secure as our numbers and demands
increase. The climate in which agriculture arose is now extinct,
half the topsoil is gone and water is running critically short.
New crises like the current heatwaves and Ukraine war will only
exacerbate the built-in instability caused by these factors into
food chain breakdowns and, sometimes, famines. In this talk I
describe the problems with the human food supply—and a potential
approach that can enable us to feed ourselves renewably, prevent
most wars and reverse the 6th Mass Extinction.<br>
</blockquote>

member of science organizations and winner of many awards. A
newspaper editor by trade, he was science editor for The Australian
newspaper, director of national awareness for CSIRO, and president

collapse if we carry on as we are with climate change, they
sometimes think that the first time we run out of food society
will collapse. However societies collapse in much more complex,

<b>Climate Change is NSF Engineering Alliance’s Top Research
Priority Other focus areas include biology and cybersecurity</b><br>
KATHY PRETZ - - Sept 21, 2022<br>
Since its launch in April 2021, the Engineering Research Visioning
Alliance has convened a diverse set of experts to explore three
areas in which fundamental research could have the most impact:
climate change; the nexus of biology and engineering; and securing
critical infrastructure against hackers.<br>
<br>
To identify priorities for each theme, ERVA—an initiative funded by
the U.S. National Science Foundation—holds what are termed visioning
events, wherein IEEE members and hundreds of other experts from
academia, industry, and nonprofits can conceptualize bold ideas. The
results are distilled into reports that identify actionable
priorities for engineering research pursuit. Reports from recent
visioning events are slated to be released to the public in the next
few months.<br>
<br>
IEEE is one of more than 20 professional engineering societies that
have joined ERVA as affiliate partners.<br>
<br>
Research energy storage and greenhouse gas capture solutions<br>
Identifying technologies to address the climate crisis was ERVA’s
first theme. The theme was based on results of a survey ERVA
conducted last year of the engineering community about what the
research priorities should be.<br>
<br>
“The resounding answer from the 500 respondents was climate change,”
says Dorota Grejner-Brzezinska, EVRA’s principal investigator. She
is a vice president for knowledge enterprise at Ohio State
University, in Columbus.<br>
<br>
During the virtual visioning event in December, experts explored
solar and renewable energy, carbon sequestration, water management,
and geoengineering. The climate change task force released its
report last month.<br>
<br>
These are some of the research areas ERVA said should be pursued:<br>
<br>
Energy storage, transmission, and critical materials. The materials
include those that are nanoengineered, ones that could be used for
nontraditional energy storage, and those that can extract additional
energy from heat cycles.<br>
Greenhouse gas capture and elimination. Research priorities included
capturing and eliminating methane and nitrous oxide released in
agriculture operations.<br>
Resilient, energy-efficient, and healthful infrastructure. One
identified priority was research to develop low-cost coatings for
buildings and roads to reduce heat effects and increase
self-cooling.<br>
Water, ecosystem, and geoengineering assessments. The report
identifies research in creating sensing, measuring, and AI models to
analyze the flow of water to ensure its availability during droughts
and other disruptive events caused or worsened by climate change.<br>
“The groundwork ERVA has laid out in this report creates a blueprint
for funders to invest in,” Grejner-Brzezinska says, “and catalyzes
engineering research for a more secure and sustainable world. As
agencies and research organizations enact legislation to reduce
carbon emissions and bolster clean-energy technologies, engineering
is poised to lead with research and development.”<br>

<i>[The news archive - looking back at a major media influencer
irked by Bush's sorry record ]</i><br>
<font size="+2"><i><b>September 23, 2004</b></i></font> <br>
September 23, 2004: In a Concord (NH) Monitor op-ed, former EPA
Administrator and lifelong Republican Russell Train rips President
George W. Bush's climate and environmental record:
<blockquote>The scientific community is alarmed by the Bush
administration's widespread rejection of sound science. The Union
of Concerned Scientists, a nationwide organization of eminent
scientists declared: 'When scientific knowledge has been found to
be in conflict with its political goals, the administration has
often manipulated the process through which science enters into
its decisions.' More recently, 48 Nobel Prize-winning scientists
wrote in an open letter to the American people that the
administration 'has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the
policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare.' <br>
There was no mandate in the 2000 election to weaken and undo our
environmental and public health protections. In this year's
election, environmental policy needs a full public debate.<br>
<br>
We do not believe that turning back the clock or simply
maintaining the status quo is a sufficient response for the road
ahead. The candidates should do at least as well in responding to
the planet's realities in 2004 as Richard Nixon did in 1970.<br>
<br>
How do the candidates propose to slow global climate change and
reduce our dependence on foreign oil? How will their environmental
policies protect our children's health and America's natural
resources that are vital to the health of our economy?<br>
<br>
These are issues the candidates must address. The American people
deserve nothing less.<br>
