Bernard Starr has written extensively on climate change since 2007, arguing that the crisis demands a coordinated, mission-driven response on the scale of the Manhattan Project. His work focuses on the structural failures of climate leadership and the need for centralized authority to accelerate the development and deployment of truly scalable solutions. A psychologist, Starr is Professor Emeritus at CUNY's Brooklyn College, where he taught developmental psychology to prospective teachers and research methods and statistics in a graduate program he directed. He is lead author of the lifespan textbook Human Development and Behavior: Psychology in Nursing. Starr is the founder and for twenty-five years was the managing editor of the Annual Review of Gerontology and Geriatrics, published by Springer. He also edited two Springer series, Adulthood and Aging and Lifestyle and Issues in Aging. For several years, he wrote for the Scripps Howard News Service on health care, the baby boom generation, and the challenges of an aging society, and for seven years he was writer, producer, and host of the award-winning radio commentary The Longevity Report on WEVD-AM in New York City. His books include The Starr-Weiner Report on Sex and Sexuality in the Mature Years (co-authored with Dr. Marcella Bakur Weiner), the first comprehensive study of sexual activity after age sixty; Escape Your Own Prison, exploring spirituality as a psychology of consciousness; and several works on antisemitism and Jewish identity, including The Crucifixion of Truth, Jesus, Jews, and Anti-Semitism in Art, and Jesus Uncensored. Starr is a past president of the Brooklyn Psychological Association and the Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy. He serves as the principal United Nations representative for the Institute of Global Education, an NGO with ECOSOC status. His numerous op-ed and commentary articles for three years at the Scripps Howard News Service have appeared in newspapers throughout the United States. For several years he penned a blog at the Huffington Post. His articles have also appeared in Salon, the Daily News, OpEdNews and Barron's financial magazine.
