What should be the top environmental priority for the next 40 years? :: Experts speakers argue their cases ahead of an Earthwatch debate in London this weekEducation and population â€" Sir Crispin TickellOur society faces a rich complex of problems. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution some 250 years ago, our animal species has changed the character of the Earth's land surface, seas and atmosphere: hence the increasing use among geologists of the term Anthropocene to follow the Holocene epoch.Of all the interconnected problems we face, perhaps the most serious is the proliferation of our own species.

A Doctor's Alternative to PPACA ::
The following was written prior to enactment of PPACA by the United States Congress. Whether or not the present healthcare law (sometimes referred to as ObamaCare) is fully implemented will be decided by the United States Supreme Court, as many states have filed challenges to the Act. The opinion expressed is that of the writer and not the Association.
Current Plans being proposed still give too much control of healthcare to the Insurers and are therefore not competitive enough. The Government is on the path to insolvency on Medicare, and therefore has a huge credibility gap when it offers to solve the problem with a government insurance plan. The following addresses both issues.
National Health Insurance Plan Proposal

Without prenatal treatment, up to 30% of these children will contract the virus. Daniel is one of the luckier ones, so far. His mother, Elise, found out she was HIV-positive eight months ago, while she was pregnant with him. She took the necessary antiretrovirals to decrease the risk of transmission. But Elise lives in rural Cameroon, and since she was diagnosed has travelled two hours by car every month to the closest clinic to get the drugs necessary to prevent transmission to her child. The travel is expensive, but she wants her son to be negative, and she...
