San Diego 12:18:03 From Katherine to Everyone: Why is Mongolia higher than the US in per capita co2 emissions? 12:25:50 From Gregory to Everyone: The varying-shape age pyramids of the world's countries suggests an interesting illustrated world map of nations, each populated by architecturally-appropriate pyramids, towers, pagodas and skyscrapers that show its age/population distributions. This infographic should be interactive and animated, showing the evolution of countries' data over the decades. 12:27:54 From Randolph to Everyone: Glad to see your population graph at the beginning of the presentation. If you compare a graph of the nuclear explosion in Japan in 1945 it is the same J curve as the population growth graph. Carol F 12:31:43 From Gregory to Everyone: Please re-show the population graph with the population/nuclear explosion J curve similarity (which I missed). Thanks! 12:32:39 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone: Gregory, we didn't have a graph of that—Hannah showed the population growth j-curve, which Carol was just saying looks the same as a graph of the nuclear explosion 12:33:19 From Gregory to Everyone: Well, please re-show that graph. I came in late (connection issues). Thanks! Great presentation, btw. 12:34:15 From Gregory to Everyone: Is there an international Association of Women-Run Countries? (Country membership would shift over time as top leaderships change.) 12:37:28 From Pamela to Everyone: Excellent presentation! Good info. 12:37:53 From John to Everyone: The 5 "Solutions" in order? 12:38:03 From Stephanie to Everyone: Thank you! That was a lot of work for all of you. 12:38:15 From Gregory to Everyone: The youngest people have the greatest stake in the future, especially the further future. What country or sub-national jurisdiction will pioneer a SINGLE DOUBLE VOTE FOR YOUNG FIRST-TIME VOTERS? 12:40:03 From Lila to Hosts and panelists: How do we get the solutions implemented? What groups are most successful at getting them implemented? 12:42:27 From Dane to Everyone: Don't forget, commercial agriculture is driven by petroleum (transportation and fertilizer) 12:43:38 From judy to Everyone: please send the link to the article in the Atlantic 12:43:45 From Gregory to Everyone: Re corn: A considerable fraction of Iowa's 2021 corn crop (up to 40%) was destroyed by one or more climate change-intensified superstorms. 12:44:17 From Lila to Hosts and panelists: In the U.S., how do we get it out there to the general public that free and accessible sex ed. and birth control, including abortion, is not a political party nor religious issue, but more importantly, a climate change/save the planet/save the human species issue? 12:44:19 From tom to Everyone: The fact that women's empowerment and gender equality are the solutions to the climate crisis clearly says men specifically are responsible for the crisis. Must we remove them from leadership to achieve climate solutions ? 12:45:26 From Stephanie to Everyone: Thank you, Tom. You’re one of the exceptions. 12:45:33 From Gregory to Everyone: Maybe a big page in the Population Connection newsletter could be devoted to the letters to editors that have and haven't appeared in response to denier/misleading population- and climate change-related articles, with links to those articles? 12:45:37 From Don to Everyone: Your work is most important for humanity's survival. Please read https://www.amazon.com/Women-Deserve-Free-Contraception-contraception-ebook/dp/B09TTQ7FYR free at https://quinacrine.org/category/contraception/ 12:46:08 From Adam to Everyone: Every news outlet needs a dedicated population connection reporter. In so many news stories, the population factor is ignored. 12:46:12 From Randolph to Everyone: What is going to happen if (or as) research into life-extension kicks in? Life extension is good, we live longer, but it could be super-problematic for the planet and our forests and its environmental life-support machinery. Birth rate goes down, but then life-extension research kicks in and offsets the effects of lower birth rates. Result? Population "explosion" J-curve continues rocketing upward and obliterating other species and our planet's life-support machinery. 12:47:44 From Membership Relations to Everyone: Here is the article published in The Atlantic they were referring to! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/population-growth-housing-climate-change/629952/ 12:48:35 From Katherine to Everyone: The other thing the media always does is use historical data to analyze how we solve problems but seldom consider that the human population approaching 8 billion is unprecidented and affects everything that is going on. 12:49:14 From Gregory to Everyone: I would like to save today's excellent Chat column and send it to myself in an e-mail (my usual practice), but I can't Copy it. I hope Population Connection will send us a copy of the Chat and/or enable the Chat to be Copied. Thanks! 12:49:19 From Don Collins to Everyone: https://data.footprintnetwork.org/?_ga=2.239014149.407093543.1654103277-1690610272.1654103277#/ 12:49:52 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B:POPU.0000020882.29684.8e 12:51:03 From Membership Relations to Everyone: Hi Gregory! The chat box discussion will be posted alongside the recording of the presentation, presentation slides, and any answers we don't have time to get to during the Q&A! 12:51:37 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/all 12:51:58 From Randolph to Everyone: Suppose fertility rates manage to slowly decline in country after country around the world. Then imagine what research into saving lives - and safely extending lives around the world. Net result? Population explosion continues, along with the obliteration it exerts. 12:52:02 From John to Everyone: Maybe only I can see that ALL energy is found in "complex atomic condtruction" which is the real 'value' of anything, from constructing microchips and plastic nanobeads to the atomic bonds in gems, intellectual effort and political power/diplomacy! Education is best to help other understand this relation but if and when sufficient, then ALL we need do individually/privately is "waste the least we possibly can!" 12:54:28 From Betsy to Everyone: Please send the Q and A to all of us. The Chat too 12:54:49 From Don to Everyone: Why isn't vasectomy covered by insurance? Duh 12:55:00 From Membership Relations to Everyone: I'll be in touch Betsy! 12:55:26 From John to Everyone: Australian testing is "two-years away!" 12:57:03 From Gregory to Everyone: Lifetime free gasoline for men who get vasectomies before siring more than one (or no) offspring: this could help. (Pickup truck owners should be especially interested.) 12:57:23 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w26662/w26662.pdf 12:58:06 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone: https://www.ansirh.org/research/ongoing/turnaway-study 12:59:41 From Pamela to Everyone: I tend to think about the impact of many unwanted babies being born to mothers that will keep them. Imagine the miserable lives they will lead and what kind of adults some of them will become. 12:59:59 From Stephanie to Everyone: Gregory: Great idea, but I think it would help just to enforce child support orders, firmly. More women AGs, for one thing. 13:00:18 From Gregory to Everyone: "For some reason, we're returning to the Dark Ages." The "reason" also begins with an R: REPUBLICANS! 13:00:32 From Adam to Everyone: Fantastic presentation. We need you in government. 13:00:34 From Renato to Everyone: Thank you for this 13:00:41 From Ana West to Everyone: Thank you as always for a great discussion. 13:00:42 From Don Collins to Everyone: Terrific job! thank you Wow! 13:00:44 From Stephanie Trasoff to Everyone: Thank you all!
