Please join me as I explore the surprises coming with Climate Change, the Pandemic and the War in Ukraine from a background of studying development in 40 nations.
Climate winners or losers? Drought or desalination? Animals dying or thriving? Polar bears are climate losers and grey whales are climate winners. A little quirky?
Spain, like Italy, is facing major population declines looking into the future. This implies pressure on its economy to fund the pensions of an aging society, and cultural pressures integrating a growing immigrant population from Africa.
The USA is in decline and China is in ascendancy. Covid-19 is a global killer and the US, which was half the world economy after WW2, has lost the pandemic war.
The American political system is run by money. They call them PACs or Political Action Committees.
mall wind turbines, like rooftop solar, will provide off grid electricity to the remote and undeveloped areas of the world.
American isolationism, will not deal with China as a rising power. The developed nations of the G-7 should partner to become more self reliant in health care spending, generic drugs and rare earths.
