RUNNING OUT
OF ROOM, RUNNING OUT OF TIME
RUNNING OUT
OF ROOM, RUNNING OUT OF TIME
01/07/2004 01:22 PM
When I was researching the
article One Billion
Americans?,
I got thinking about the implications of the wildly conservative
Census
Bureau projections of US population, and the embarrassing drastic
upward revisions that have been made to them, for global
population projections. What made the US projections so wrong (US
population peaking at 295 million was predicted as recently as fifteen
years ago) was the compound error of underestimating the extent of
immigration and overestimating the rate at which immigrants adjust
their family size to the average of their new country, or the global
average. It's an understandable error -- there's lots of evidence that
population growth rates in the developing world are falling quickly.
But that's not because third
world countries are evolving to two-child-or-less families as infant
mortality drops. Rather, it's because those countries are simply
unable
to sustain more children, so parents are reluctantly, temporarily
reducing family size as a result. Give them the option to emigrate to
a
developed country, and cultural preference, religious dictates, and
improved health care will jump their family size (and life expectancy)
back up again. And as inevitable ecological and humanitarian
catastrophes arise in the 21st century in dozens of third world
countries, compounded by the scourges of new diseases, horrendous
shortages of clean water, and desertification and crop flooding due to
global warming, the pressure to increase immigration quotas by orders
of magnitude will be fierce.
Back in 1990 when the pundits were predicting US population would peak
at 295 million (it passed that level last year and is now expected to
peak at between 550 million and 1.2 billion, if it peaks at all), they
were saying global population would peak at around 9-11 billion in
2100. But for that to happen with a US population of, say, 900 million
instead of 300 million, would mean average third world family size
would be much smaller than average US family size. The UN projections,
for example, assume annual average growth rate for Africa, Asia and
Latin America of 0.5% in the latter half of this century, compared to
a
current growth rate in those areas (even including China with its
already-low birth rate) of 2.1%, and compared to a current US growth
rate of 0.9%, which is trending back up to a projected 1.3% rate for
most of the current century, thanks to immigration.
So the 9-11 billion global peak population just doesn't add up. While
it doesn't make sense to get Malthusian and project population will
grow indefinitely at current rates (1.3%, i.e. a doubling every 50
years to 24 billion by 2100), it's equally illogical and irresponsible
to suggest that the whole world will start immediately radically
reducing its fertility rate to achieve in just two generations the low
fertility rate that Europe took one hundred generations to reach. If
you assume that the levels of immigration now
projected by the US Census Bureau will prevail throughout the
developed
world, that first- and second-generation citizens of developed
countries will continue to have considerably larger-than-replacement
level families in their new adopted countries, that the prevailing
pro-fertility population dogmas of organized world religions will not
suddenly be changed, that population pressure in the third world will
be eased somewhat by immigration and that modest drops in family size
in those countries will be largely offset by longer life expectancy,
as
has been observably the case in almost every third world country
except
China, then instead of the 9-11 billion peak the UN is currently
talking about, you end up with population soaring past 14 billion in
2100, with no end in sight (left chart above).
The curved red line shows the carrying capacity of Earth, assuming a
modest annual increase in productivity from the current 30 billion
acres (productive-capacity adjusted), assuming average footprint per
capita continues to increase by a modest 1% per year, and assuming no
land on the planet is reserved for wilderness or natural space for the
rest of Earth's creatures. It shows in 2000 that the world could
sustain 5 billion humans at the then-prevailing level of consumption.
That's a billion humans less than actually inhabited the planet then,
possible only by depriving much of the world of a subsistence level of
resources, and by taking more from the Earth (in non-renewable
resources) than we replaced, essentially stealing the excess from
future generations. At the expected global level of per-capita
consumption in 2100 (still well below today's North American
consumption levels), carrying capacity drops to 2 billion humans. That
number is substantiated by a recent C
ornell
study that says the choice in 2100 is between 2 billion people living
a
comfortable but not lavish life (achieved by a drastic population
reduction) or 12 billion "struggling in misery". And if you want to
allow 50% of the planet's surface for other life forms, you need to
achieve double that reduction (green line), to one billion people, the
level both Jim
Merkel and Bill
McKibben think we should strive for. That's only achievable, short
of coercion, by an average one child family worldwide for the next century.
The right chart shows that the increasing average footprint, driven
both by North American excess and the surging resource use of China's
billion plus people, will drive the aggregate human footprint up even
more sharply than aggregate population, from 37 billion acres today
(20% more than Earth's carrying capacity) to 210 billion acres in 2100
(six times Earth's carrying capacity). Now remember, these assumptions
are much closer to the wildly
optimistic assumptions of population levelling that the UN and other
global agencies optimistically hope for, than to the Malthusian
no-change projections that would see nearly double these numbers.
Nevertheless, train wreck ahead.
We simply have no choice. We must immediately and aggressively reduce our family
sizes worldwide, and we must
immediately and aggressively reduce per-capita resource consumption,
waste and footprint. That means we must confront religions that don't
actively encourage birth control and small families, and show those
religions to
be socially irresponsible. That means, too, we need to introduce ecological
taxation
measures to make excessive resource consumption and waste
prohibitively
expensive, and reward those who tread lightly on the Earth.

The Word XML Toolbox requires that .NET Programmability Support is
enabled. For .NET Programmability Support to be installed during the
Office 2003 setup, the PIAs require the .NET Framework 1.1 already be
installed. It is recommended that you install the Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1 before you install Microsoft Office 2003. With the .NET
Framework 1.1 already installed, a complete installation of Office
2003 will install all of the PIAs.

07/26/2004 09:29 PMYeah, it's nearly four o'clock, and I'm writing this entry. It's been
the first day of my four weeks of vacation, and I spent much of it
carrying things from one place to another place, and in general
putting things on top of other things. The members of the Society
would've been proud. But it was good fun; plenty of exercise and
fresh air.
The reason I am not yet asleep is that I've spent the past eight hours
in the Ropecon after-party, which - all as con workers know - is the
true reason why anyone works for free for three days: the chance to
eat food, drink beer, talk, go to sauna, play games and really have a
few hours to feel good about what they have just accomplished. No
pressure, no shifts, no deadlines.
I did miss the annual nude wrestling competition this year (again),
but for good reason: Erick Wujick gamemastered an impromptu game, with
a few really nasty twists. My character ended up as a hermit somewhere
in Colorado, hiding in the forest, shooting at people, and being very,
very afraid of the moment when he eventually dies. Not bad for an
hours game. Plenty of fun.
Tomorrow it will be even busier. I gotta apologize to some people who
I know read the blog: I haven't had time to answer any emails, and I
probably will not have the time tomorrow either, but I have read them,
and answering your emails with oneliners would be a tad impolite.

 More on the End
of Oil:
And we're nearing the End of the Bubble:
- James Grant in the NYT warns the stock market bubble is as bad as ever, and
Greenspan is to blame,
But if you Ask the People:
- They think too much is spent on defense and war and not
enough on health, education, renewable energy, jobs and deficit
reduction;
Meanwhile Nero Keeps Fiddling:
- Bush appoints a redneck who hates the UN as the ambassador to the UN, paving the
way for US withdrawal, and
- Robert Byrd warns
eloquently that the new legislation to end filibusters means the end
of
free speech, the end of the right of dissent, and the end of minority
rights in America
And Don't Count on Business to Help Out:
- Two new surveys show US investment in innovation is in a tailspin.
There are disturbing signs that hot on the heels of the End of Oil will come the End of Water. So put a
rainbarrel on your shopping list along with the hybrid or Smart Car.

Running vampire bat
Running vampire bat
03/24/2005 02:22 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Cornell University scientists captured a
Muybridge-e
sque video of a running vampire bat. Apparently, the vampire bat is
the only bat known to run. From Science News:
(Researcher Daniel Riskin) placed each bat inside a cage about the
size of an elongated shoe box with a customized treadmill as the
floor. At first, the bats strolled along. When Riskin sped up the
treadmill to more than 0.5 meter per second, he was startled to find
that bats started bounding, pushing off with their powerful forearms.
The maximum speed clocked was 1.2 m/s.
"It's not often in science that you have the eureka moment like we
did," says Riskin. "I'll always remember just looking over at my
coauthor John Hermanson and he looked back at me, and we just started
laughing."
