Sodium-Ion battery technology promised a lot when it first hit our
headlines more than two years ago. But has it delivered? Well, let's

<b>Not the End of the World, </b><br>
Jan 19, 2024 #amanpourpbs<br>
According to a new study in the journal Nature, the ice in Greenland
is melting 20% faster than was previously believed. Data scientist
Hannah Ritchie says while headlines like these are urgent and
alarming, we need to shift our focus towards solutions. This point
of view is laid out in Ritchie's new book "Not the End of the
World," which she joins the show to discuss.<br>

Poverty, disease, hunger, climate change, war, existential risks,
and inequality: The world faces many great and terrifying problems.
It is these large problems that our work at Our World in Data
focuses on.<br>
<br>
Thanks to the work of thousands of researchers around the world who
dedicate their lives to it, we often have a good understanding of
how it is possible to make progress against the large problems we
are facing. The world has the resources to do much better and reduce
the suffering in the world.<br>
<br>
We believe that a key reason why we fail to achieve the progress we
are capable of is that we do not make enough use of this existing
research and data: the important knowledge is often stored in
inaccessible databases, locked away behind paywalls and buried under
jargon in academic papers. <br>
<br>
The goal of our work is to make the knowledge on the big problems
accessible and understandable. As we say on our homepage, Our World
in Data’s mission is to publish the “research and data to make
progress against the world’s largest problems”.<br>

<p><i>[ Clips from Paul Chefurka's 2012 posting of Climbing the
Ladder of Awareness ]</i><br>
</p>
<font face="Calibri">
<b>Climbing The Ladder of Awareness by Bodhi Paul Chefurka</b><br>
October 19, 2012<br>
</font>
<p><font face="Calibri">When it comes to our understanding of the
unfolding global crisis, each of us seems to fit somewhere along
a continuum of awareness that can be roughly divided into five
stages:</font></p>
<font face="Calibri"><b>1. Dead asleep.</b> At this stage there seem
to be no fundamental problems, just some shortcomings in human
organization, behaviour and morality that can be fixed with the
proper attention to rule-making. People at this stage tend to live
their lives happily, with occasional outbursts of annoyance around
election times or the quarterly corporate earnings seasons.<br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><b>2. Awareness of one fundamental problem. </b>Whether
it's Climate Change, overpopulation, Peak Oil, chemical pollution,
oceanic over-fishing, biodiversity loss, corporatism, economic
instability or sociopolitical injustice, one problem seems to
engage the attention completely. People at this stage tend to
become ardent activists for their chosen cause. They tend to be
very vocal about their personal issue, and blind to any others.<br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><b><br>
3. Awareness of many problems.</b> As people let in more
evidence from different domains, the awareness of complexity
begins to grow. At this point a person worries about the
prioritization of problems in terms of their immediacy and degree
of impact. People at this stage may become reluctant to
acknowledge new problems - for example, someone who is committed
to fighting for social justice and against climate change may not
recognize the problem of resource depletion. They may feel that
the problem space is already complex enough, and the addition of
any new concerns will only dilute the effort that needs to be
focused on solving the "highest priority" problem.<br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><b>4. Awareness of the interconnections between
the many problems. </b>The realization that a solution in one
domain may worsen a problem in another marks the beginning of
large-scale system-level thinking. It also marks the transition
from thinking of the situation in terms of a set of problems to
thinking of it in terms of a predicament. At this point the
possibility that there may not be a solution begins to raise its
head.<br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
People who arrive at this stage tend to withdraw into tight
circles of like-minded individuals in order to trade insights and
deepen their understanding of what's going on. These circles are
necessarily small, both because personal dialogue is essential for
this depth of exploration, and because there just aren't very many
people who have arrived at this level of understanding.<br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
</font>
<font face="Calibri"><b>5. Awareness that the predicament
encompasses all aspects of life.</b> This includes everything
we do, how we do it, our relationships with each other, as well as
our treatment of the rest of the biosphere and the physical
planet. With this realization, the floodgates open, and no problem
is exempt from consideration or acceptance. The very concept of a
"Solution" is seen through, and cast aside as a waste of effort.</font>
