SUMMARY:Future Trends Series: Population Growth
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Bill Eisenhardt\n\n"Sometime this summer in an inc
 idental conversation someone said that there are more people alive today t
 han the total of all persons who had lived before.  That comment intrigue
 d me so that when Anne asked if I would moderate a discussion (not a lectu
 re!) this summer I thought that I may as well explore what appeared to be 
 hyper-exponential population growth.  Well I learned that that comment wa
 s a misstatement\, but that there were lots of other interesting topics th
 at related to population growth\, particularly in light of our national an
 gst over immigration\, climate change\, women’s reproduction rights\, so
 cial security and healthcare."\n\n"So if you’d like to join me in a disc
 ussion onhuman population we will be doing so on July 24th. The library w
 ill have some readings available in addition to what you may find on your 
 own.  I suggest reading the first chapter in Meadows\, Randers and Meadow
 s Limits to Growth: The Thirty Year Update to get the sense of the concept
  of “overshoot”.  The preface\, first and last chapters in Empty Plan
 et by Brickner and Ibbitson may be interesting to you as well.  The 3rd t
 rend (aging) in Gary Marx’s 21 Trends for the 21stCentury is also pertin
 ent.  And maybe peek at www.WORLDOMETERS.info online for some “real tim
 e” eye-popping population data." Bill Eisenhardt\n\n&nbsp\;
