India – Climate Change Deniers?

Posted on March 3, 2015 by climatechangefork

India – Lighthouse for the IPAT

Posted on February 24, 2015 by climatechangefork

India is “hot” now. I just got the recent issue of The Economist (February 21st), whose cover features a personification of India, riding high on a very attractive elephant that has a jet engine strapped to its side. With most … Continue reading →

Economic Impact of Fertility Rates Below Replacement

Posted on February 18, 2014 by climatechangefork

The golden rule of free enterprise economy seems to be that everything that contributes to economic growth is good, while anything that detracts from the same is bad. The rationale behind this is that as the population grows, the economy … Continue reading →

Crossing the Fertility Replacement Rate – the Last 20 Years

Posted on January 28, 2014 by climatechangefork

As I have shown in previous blogs, long-term (I use 1000 years as the “magic” number – see the December 17, 2013 blog) exponential growth (or decline) cannot continue unabated without serious consequences. Lately, I have emphasized this concept mainly … Continue reading →
