Welcome to the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science at the University of Maryland.
Professor Kalnay uses the occasion to address the Population and Climate Change: a Proposal. In her talk, available here, she reviews basic facts about population growth and sustainability, pointing out that no meaningful discussion of climate change can ignore this ‘elephant in the room’. She discusses recent trends in non-coercive population control, and the alleged economic problems of reducing population. She concludes with a proposal to add an interactive regional human population module, and associated components, to Earth System models focusing on regional systems, which can then be used to explore the impact of different emissions scenarios on climate change
The Greenbelt News Review also cites her accomplishment.
