DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeo-Engineering the Climate\nColline Gombault\n2 
 °C! Global temperature rise\, which now stands at 0.7°C\, should\nnot exce
 ed 2°C above pre-industrial temperatures to minimize the\nchance of climat
 e change disaster. This means a reduction in world\nGHG emissions of 50% b
 y 2050. However the recent Copenhagen Accord\ndoes not legally constrain G
 HG emissions. This is further\ncompounded by the fact that world energy de
 mand based on fossil\nfuel is expected to rise by 40%. The impact on globa
 l climate\nchange could be catastrophic. Solutions such as carbon dioxide
 \nremoval and solar radiation management are therefore being studied\nas “
 Plan B”\, leading to intensely controversial discussions. This\nseminar is
  a presentation of methods of geo-engineering the\nclimate\, their potenti
 al impacts\, and limitations.\nReviewers: Rachel Lauren\, Winny Routray\,

 : An Easy Hard Path\nSarah Lee\nLarge-scale desalination will play a centr
 al role in Israel's\nfuture water strategy\, representing a 'hard path' ap
 proach to water\nmanagement.  Drawing on 'water soft and hard path' litera
 ture\,\nanalysis of thirty interviews with a range of stakeholders show:\n
 how the inevitability of desalination has been constructed\; but\nalso the
  tradeoffs and consequences of this decision\; alternative\nwater manageme
 nt strategies that are being overlooked\; and finally\nthe interlocking re
 asons that such alternatives are unlikely to\ndislodge the hard path appro
 ach in Israel.\nReviewers Claude Adjanahoun\, Hui Fung Chan\,  Fatemeh \nZ
 are Fatemeh\, Tatjana Trebic\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPopulation Control:
  A Look at China’s One Child Policy\nPenny Ma\nWhile global population con
 tinues to increase\, natural resources\ncontinue to be limited. Growing po
 pulations place demands on the\nenvironment and can degrade ecosystems. In
  turn\, insufficient and\nuneven distribution of food can cause malnourish
 ment in certain\npopulation groups. Poverty\, environmental degradation\, 
 and\noverpopulation are among the reasons that some governments have\nadop
 ted population control measures. Family planning is a method of\npopulatio
 n control\, and this presentation examines China’s One\nChild Policy in an
  attempt to determine important factors that must\nbe considered when tryi
 ng to control a population.\nReviewers: Pierre Courvoisier\, Cory Zyla\, W
