...Events in the Middle East last year caused panic as oil supplies were threatened, while the spectre of nuclear meltdown at Fukushima offered a grim reminder of the risks posed by moving beyond 'dirty' fossil fuels. With renewable energy still a long way from being able to meet the shortfall, many gloomily predict a future of brownouts, deep-sea drilling disasters and even bitter resource wars. But others see shale gas and the 'fracking' process as a reason for hope. What role can innovation play in keeping the lights on? Speakers include Professor Gordon MacKerron, director of Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex; Tanya Morrison, government relations manager, climate change, Shell International; James Woudhuysen, professor of forecasting and innovation, De Montfort University....

In its search among 143 countries the EmeraldPlanet is constantly searching for "best practices" being offered by commercial companies which are conducting extensive research to solve critical climate change and food, fuel, and fiber production issues for the world's ever expanding population base. Extensive research conducted through the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center and the School of Natural Resources, The Ohio State University was published in the Journal of Sustainable Agriculture entitled "Global Soil Nutrient Depletion and Yield Reduction". The above report, along with numerous others in recent years attests to, "nutrient depletion in soils adversely affects soil quality and reduces crop yield and consequently poses a potential threat to global food security and agricultural sustainability. With an emphasis on human-induced nutrient depletion, there is the ......

..."For over ten years, wildlife photographer Jenny E. Ross has travelled to the Arctic, often with some of the world's leading polar bear researchers, to document the Arctic's top predator. Displaying dozens of her stunning photographs, Ross explains how she captures compelling Arctic images that are not only visually spectacular but also convey crucial information about polar bear biology, ecology, behavior, and conservation. She discusses the technical, artistic, and story-telling challenges involved, as well as her first-hand experiences of ongoing rapid climate change at the top of the world. In February 2005, Kassie Siegel petitioned the Bush administration to protect the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act due to global warming, and ultimately achieved listing of the bear as a "threatened" species. She shares the inside story of the ongoing fight for polar bear protection. About the Speakers Jenny E. Ross is an award-winning photographer specializing in wildlife natural history and conservation. Her awards include the World Press Photo Award (most prestigious award for photojournalism), Nature's Best Award for Wildlife Photography and the Philip Hyde Award for Environmental Photography. Her photographs have been exhibited at the California Academy of Sciences, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and many more. Former President Bill Clinton also has her photographs in his private collection. Kassie Siegel is Director of the Center for Biological ......

...The Carthage Division of Natural Science Colloquium Series 2012. The Science of Global Climate Change www.carthage.edu...

...Webcast sponsored by Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Common Energy UBC's NOW (No Other World) Forum. Dr.George Hoberg specializes in environmental and natural resource policy and governance. He received a BS from UC Berkeley, and his PhD from MIT. A political scientist by training, Dr.Hoberg taught public policy and American politics at UBC for 13 years before joining the Faculty of Forestry full time in 2001.His research interests include energy policy, forest policy, and more generally the design of policies and institutions to promote sustainability. In this lecture, Dr.Hoberg speaks about his transformation from an academic to an activist, a transformation that was guided as the gravity of the climate crisis has become more apparent. As he tried to come to a deeper understanding about humanity's failure to act yet on climate change, he came to an insight that transformed his stance: "When you consider the structure of the climate challenge as a public goods and public choice dilemma, you can see that if we are guided by short term material thinking we will simply be incapable of rising to the challenge of taking the concerted action sufficient to avoid dangerous climate change. The logic of the climate policy analyst is dominated by this economic rationality that can't generate the necessary solutions. To envision a capacity to act you need to take a leap of faith that enough citizens and leaders are willing to act on moral, not economic grounds. You ......
