Earth 2020 an Insider’S Guide to a Rapidly Changing Planet Earth 2020 An Insider’s Guide to a Rapidly Changing Planet EDITED BY PHILIPPE TORTELL P HILIPPE Earth 2020 Fi� y years has passed since the fi rst Earth Day, on April 22nd, 1970. This accessible, incisive and � mely collec� on of essays brings together a diverse set of expert voices to examine how the Earth’s environment has changed over these past fi � y years, and to An Insider’s Guide to a Rapidly consider what lies in store for our planet over the coming fi � y years. T ORTELL Earth 2020: An Insider’s Guide to a Rapidly Changing Planet responds to a public Changing Planet increasingly concerned about the deteriora� on of Earth’s natural systems, off ering readers a wealth of perspec� ves on our shared ecological past, and on the future trajectory of planet Earth. ( ED Wri� en by world-leading thinkers on the front-lines of global change research and .) policy, this mul� -disciplinary collec� on maintains a dual focus: some essays inves� gate specifi c facets of the physical Earth system, while others explore the social, legal and poli� cal dimensions shaping the human environmental footprint. In doing so, the essays collec� vely highlight the urgent need for collabora� on and diverse exper� se in addressing one of the most signifi cant environmental challenges facing us today. Earth 2020 is essen� al reading for everyone seeking a deeper understanding of the E past, present and future of our planet, and the role that humanity plays within this ARTH trajectory.

Acknowledgements I am grateful, first and foremost, to all of the authors who contributed their words and insights to this volume. They worked under tight deadlines, juggling many other commitments, and were exceedingly patient with all of my many editorial suggestions. Through their eyes, I have come to a much deeper understanding of Earth’s environmental history over the past half century. I wish also to thank the group at Open Book Publishers, whose outstanding (and very rapid) work made this book a reality. Alessandra Tosi was enthusiastic about this project from the start, and marshaled the team to keep things moving forward throughout. Both Alessandra and Adèle Kreager provided excellent editorial suggestions, while Luca Baffa developed a beautiful design and layout, and Laura Rodriguez helped spread the word about this project far and wide. During the early phases of this project, Margot Young, Mark Turin and Jesse Finkelstein provided much needed advice and inspiration. Finally, I wish to thank my family for support and patience as I set aside weekends, evenings and early mornings to find time to work on this project amidst a sea of other responsibilities. I hope they agree that the result was well worth the effort. Introduction —— Philippe Tor tell n 22 April, 1970, millions of people took to the streets in cities and towns across O the United States, giving voice to an emerging consciousness of humanity’s impact on planet Earth. This first Earth Day was the brainchild of US Senator Gaylord Nelson, and was organized by a grassroots movement coordinated by Denis Hayes, a twenty-five- year-old Harvard student. The Earth Day events included demonstrations, teach-ins and community clean-ups (‘Trash Wednesday’) in over 2,000 communities across the country. Protesters shut down Fifth Avenue in New York City, while students in Boston staged a ‘die-in’ at Logan airport, lying in coffins to raise awareness about the dangers of airplane- related pollution. Demonstrators in Chicago called for an end to the internal combustion engine. The protesters were mostly white, middle-class and overwhelmingly young, but their message also reached some in the older generation. Walter Cronkite, by then widely seen as the most trusted man in America, hosted a half-hour Earth Day special on the CBS Evening News. He had become increasingly concerned about ‘the fouled skies, the filthy waters and the littered earth’, as he put it, and he concluded the news special with a call for the public to heed ‘the unanimous voice of the scientists warning that half-way measures and business as usual cannot possibly pull us back from the edge of the precipice’. Today, half a century later, Cronkite’s words are eerily familiar. Since the first Earth Day, we have, no doubt, made significant progress in addressing a range of acute environmental problems. Yet, other more pernicious threats have emerged, from climate © Philippe Tortell, CC BY 4.0 https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0193.01 change to global biodiversity loss; the warnings seem louder, and the edge of the precipice ever closer, as growing evidence demonstrates planetary-scale human perturbations of the Earth System. As we look back to the first Earth Day fifty years ago, understanding the environmental trajectory of planet Earth, and the societal evolution of its most dominant species — humans — provides us with important lessons from the past, and, hopefully, insights for the future. Such lessons and insights are gathered together in the present collection of essays, which mark the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day in 2020.

  • Solar System Exploration
    Theme: Solar System Exploration Cassini, a robotic spacecraft launched in 1997 by NASA, is close enough now to resolve many rings and moons of its destination planet: Saturn. The spacecraft has now closed to within a single Earth-Sun separation from the ringed giant. In November 2003, Cassini snapped the contrast-enhanced color composite pictured above. Many features of Saturn's rings and cloud-tops now show considerable detail. When arriving at Saturn in July 2004, the Cassini orbiter will begin to circle and study the Saturnian system. Several months later, a probe named Huygens will separate and attempt to land on the surface of Titan. Solar System Exploration MAJOR EVENTS IN FY 2005 Deep Impact will launch in December 2004. The spacecraft will release a small (820 lbs.) Impactor directly into the path of comet Tempel 1 in July 2005. The resulting collision is expected to produce a small impact crater on the surface of the comet's nucleus, enabling scientists to investigate the composition of the comet's interior. Onboard the Cassini orbiter is a 703-pound scientific probe called Huygens that will be released in December 2004, beginning a 22-day coast phase toward Titan, Saturn's largest moon; Huygens will reach Titan's surface in January 2005. ESA 2-1 Theme: Solar System Exploration OVERVIEW The exploration of the solar system is a major component of the President's vision of NASA's future. Our cosmic "neighborhood" will first be scouted by robotic trailblazers pursuing answers to key questions about the diverse environments of the planets, comets, asteroids, and other bodies in our solar system.

  • Meet the Man Who Has Exposed the Great Climate Change Con Trick
    Meet the man who has exposed the great climate change con trick JAMES DELINGPOLE SPECTATOR.CO.UK 11 JULY 2009 James Delingpole talks to Professor Ian Plimer, the Australian geologist, whose new book shows that ‘anthropogenic global warming’ is a dangerous, ruinously expensive fiction, a ‘first-world luxury’ with no basis in scientific fact. Shame on the publishers who rejected the book. Imagine how wonderful the world would be if man-made global warming were just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination. No more ugly wind farms to darken our sunlit uplands. No more whopping electricity bills, artificially inflated by EU-imposed carbon taxes. No longer any need to treat each warm, sunny day as though it were some terrible harbinger of ecological doom. And definitely no need for the $7.4 trillion cap and trade (carbon-trading) bill — the largest tax in American history — which President Obama and his cohorts are so assiduously trying to impose on the US economy. Imagine no more, for your fairy godmother is here. His name is Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at Adelaide University, and he has recently published the landmark book Heaven And Earth, which is going to change forever the way we think about climate change. ‘The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology,’ says Plimer, and while his thesis is not new, you’re unlikely to have heard it expressed with quite such vigour, certitude or wide-ranging scientific authority.

  • Medicash and Cool Earth
    1 2 MEDICASH AND COOL EARTH Medicash has been investing in Cool Earth’s Asháninka partnership for six years. As a leading healthcare provider, it makes sense that they’re backing a model that saves lives as well as rainforest. Since 2010, Medicash has protected enough rainforest to cover their carbon emissions ten times over and their support for families in Cool Earth’s Asháninka partnership has kept over 190,000 trees safe from the loggers. The close partnership with Cool Earth has seen Medicash transform lives. Their support has equipped schools, installed safe drinking water, made childbirth safer and boosted incomes for some of the world’s poorest people. It all adds up to healthier, happier communities who are the rainforest’s best possible custodians.

  • Climate Change and Its Causes a Discussion About Some Key Issues
    Climate Change and Its Causes A Discussion About Some Key Issues Nicola Scafetta 1;2 1Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM) Lab, Coronado, CA 92118, USA 2Department of Physics, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA. Abstract This article discusses the limits of the Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory advocated by the Intergov- ernmental Panel on Climate Change. A phenomenological theory of climate change based on the physical properties of the data themselves is proposed. At least 60% of the warming of the Earth observed since 1970 appears to be induced by natural cycles which are present in the solar system. A climatic stabilization or cooling until 2030-2040 is forecast by the phenomenological model. *************************************************************************************** This work is made of • An translation into English of the paper: Scafetta N., “Climate Change and Its causes: A Discussion about Some Key Issues,” La Chimica e l’Industria 1, p. 70-75 (2010); • Several additional supporting notes are added to the paper; • An extended appendix section part is added to cover several thematic issues to support particular topics addressed in the main paper.

  • What Is the Future of Earth's Climate?
    What is the Future of Earth’s Climate? Introduction The question of whether the Earth is warming is one of the most intriguing questions that scientists are dealing with today. Climate has a significant influence on all of Earth’s ecosystems today. What will future climates be like? Scientists have begun to examine ice cores dating back over 100 years to study the changes in the concentrations of carbon dioxide gas from carbon emissions to see if a true correlation exists between human impact and increasing temperatures on Earth. CO2 from Carbon Emissions This has led many scientists to ask the question: What will future climates be like? Today, you will interact, ask questions, and analyze data from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies to generate some predictions about global climate change in the future. Review the data of global climate change on the slide below. Complete the questions on the following slide. This link works!

Bickford III Eastern Illinois University Effective teaching, while supplemented by best practice methods and assessments, is rooted in accurate, age-appropriate, and engaging content. As a foundation for history content, elementary educators rely strongly on textbooks and children’s literature, both fiction and non- fiction. While many researchers have examined the historical accuracy of textbook content, few have rigorously scrutinized the historical accuracy of children’s literature. Those projects that carried out such examination were more descriptive than comprehensive due to significantly smaller data pools. I investigate how children’s non-fiction and fiction books depict and historicize a meaningful and frequently taught history topic: Christopher Columbus’s accomplishments and misdeeds.
