The Climate Emergency: Art, Agency and ActionGuy Dauncey
My presentation to the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery at the opening of their special climate exhibition, January 2020.
A powerful set of slides that use art to deliver three key messages:
(1) the climate crisis is very real,
(2) the solutions already exist,
(3) alongside the immediate threats, a positive vision of a better future is needed to motivate people to change.

A Self-sustaining Environ for Eliana in Chautauqua County,
a faithful vision, or hopefulness in that which cannot yet be seen—the fruitful emergence of:
lineal,
cooperative,
rural environs with urban densities,
ecologically and economically self-sustaining,
capable of attracting an additional 125,000 people to survive, work, and safely grow families despite the vagaries of erratic climate change and global warming
This was a college level presentation where we were asked to present a solution for Global Warming. I had very mixed feelings on the assignment and the solution, but I bet that doesn't come across in my presentation. ;)
How many people can comfortably fit into your car? What happens when you double that number? Can your car safely and comfortably carry you all? What about the planet? Everyone has to have someplace to live, they must eat, they must use the bathroom, take baths, cook, clean and do all the things we humans do. But what happens when there are too many people crowded into an area? Can the earth carry that load, so to speak? Should there be fewer people, or should people simply learn new and more efficient ways to use the resources we have available?

BIL LA 2015 Keynote Alex Lightman Bring It To The World and Beyond 7 March 20...Alex Lightman
BIL is the unconference, and the theme of BIL LA 2015 was Bring It. This keynote is about how to Bring It in four ways
Bring the Food
Bring the Water
Bring the Light
Bring the Biosphere
My keynote talk at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, co-hosted by Public Health England, May 16, 2014 (Almost 80 megabytes, if you want to listen). I have a blog post on this, at http://globalchangemusings.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/energy-transition-royal-society-of.html
Bionic Urbanism discusses converging challenges facing cities such as oil depletion, economic uncertainty, climate change and food security. In this presentation this is traced through ancient patterns of settlement through to the modern day typologies of urbanisation.

Developing sustainable energy sources is the most pressing issue for future generations. This presentation discusses the importance and various alternatives for energy production and storage.
HC sets aside disqualification of MLAs
The Patna High Court has set aside the Bihar Assembly Speaker’s November order, disqualifying four rebel MLAs on the grounds of “anti-party activities” and “voluntary surrender of membership.”
Background:
Four JD(U) MLAs were disqualified from Bihar Assembly for anti-party activities, including cross voting in Rajya Sabha election.
After the MLAs allegedly cross-voted during the Rajya Sabha by-poll in June last, the Speaker on November 1 terminated their membership and divested them of all facilities available to legislators.
The speaker had disqualified them under the provisions of Anti defection law.
The MLAs had challenged the ruling in the High Court.
HC’s observations:
Defection and dissent were not synonymous, and what the MLAs had done during the Rajya Sabha by-poll was “dissent, and it does not come under the anti-defection law.”
The MLAs had faith in the party and did not defect. Isolated act of dissent, and nothing further to add, cannot amount to voluntary surrender of membership.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
Balancing Economics with Ethics to Save God's CreationPaul H. Carr
The Golden Rule of ethics must re-balance our economy. At present, those with the gold make the rules. Pope Francis’ “Laudato Si: On Care for our Common Home” states that we have the moral imperative to stop plundering our planet for profit, the poor suffering the most.
Does Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” guide the pursuit of individual gain towards creating the Wealth of Nations? Let’s update this 1776 economics and re-balance it with Garrett Hardin’s 1968 “Tragedy of the Commons,” in which the pursuit of individual gain leads to negation of the common good.
The burning of fossil fuels is polluting our common atmosphere for free with carbon dioxide. This is warming our planet via the Greenhouse Effect. Melting ice could raise sea levels up to 18 feet by 2059 (1, 2) . External costs such as these must be priced into our economy. Former Treasury Secretary George Shultz (3) advocates a revenue neutral fee on fossil fuels with a dividend to be returned to everyone. This would give non-carbon-emitting energy sources an economic advantage, also stimulate our economy.
