Reg Morrison – Research on Population / Climate

Reg Morrison is a photographer who has spent many years researching population issues.  I have included (below) three of his presentations.  I found them fascinating, especially his explanation in relation to hydrogen and the world.

Population Debate

Dr Martin Parkinson, Secretary of the Department of Climate Change

Sensible views from Dr Martin Parkinson, Secretary of the Department of Climate Change – extracted from his address to the Lowy Institute on 14 April 2010. 

Even if you are not convinced by the weight of scientific evidence on climate change, good public governance demands a prudent approach to treating climate change as a serious risk-management exercise.  Put bluntly, the risks of getting it wrong are too great to gamble anything on the minority view – or ideological position – that human induced climate change is definitely not occurring.  If there is even a small chance that climate change is occurring, a sensible and balanced policy must reflect this.  While we don’t expect to have a car crash, it’s prudent to pay for car insurance to cover the risk.  Surprisingly this precautionary principle has been forgotten by many who should know better”.

Overloading Australia by Mark O’Connor and William Lines

This is a must read for every Australian.

“Overloading Australia” is undoubtedly the best book if you want to get “up to speed” quickly on the population issue and Australia.  I thoroughly recommend it.  It’s available directly from Mark O’Connor for just $20 including postage – see link HERE to order directly.
