I worry about our planet and hope to put some thoughts forward on the looming climate change issues facing us.
In 1970-73 part of my interests was to look at the computer modelling done by Forrester for The Club of Rome.
At that time the main environmental concern seemed to be air pollution from cars and other sources. A complex model was developed which predicted that the world population would reach a maximum about 2020 and then decline.
Obviously many things have changed over the past 50 years and the world population continues to grow. However, many other events have happened - such as drought, bushfires, floods and earthquakes. There is a growing acceptance that these events will become more frequent and widespread. People now associate these trends with climate change - or more specifically global warming.
Covid-19 was a sudden "wake up call" with dire social and economic results. I hope you will take the time to look at my other website WakeUpWorld.com.au
