In the past 25 years, I heard Dr. Bartlett’s brilliant lecture on ‘exponential growth’. He presents his lecture to hundreds of thousands around the country. He spellbinds audiences! His presentation shows where everything looks ‘okay’ up until the point where a species cannot save itself.

Whether you think humans or natural cycles create global warming, that’s not important. Humans, growing at 77 million net gain annually on their way from 6.7 billion to 9.8 billion on a finite planet--create cause and effect on every environmental system on our planet home—destructively.

As citizens on this blue/green globe out in the black void of space, I encourage you to stand up, speak out and make your voice heard during the presidential elections. Since we continue as a stable society, we must change course on what causes our demographic Katrina. It’s up to us, it’s up to you!
