Comment frankunderwoodbut but, the solid lines (that correspond to empirical data) are very different from the dotted lines (that correspond to predicted data by club of Rome). Especcialy the lines of environment are clearly diverging - in a good way.

Too bad Australia repeals the carbon tax, it helped curb emissions, ANU study finds
Australia cut carbon dioxide emissions from its electricity sector by as much as 17 million tonnes because of the carbon price and would have curbed more had industry expected the price to be permanent, according to an Australian National University study.

Comment frankunderwood
Europe has already imposed a two-year restriction on the use of three common neonicotinoids on flowering crops (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiametoxam). This restricion is based on a European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) scientific report that warns for "high acute risk" on bee populations. However, Nature states that Future legislation should take into account the potential cascading effects of neonicotinoids on ecosystems. Hallman et al. (2014) found a bird decline of 3.5% annualy on locations that contain high imicacloprid concentrations. They claim a causal relationship between the neonicotinoid and bird bird decline.

Analysis frankunderwood
Correlation shown between neonicotinoid pesticides and decline in bird populations in the Netherlands
The analysis indicates that pesticide use may reduce the amount of prey insects available to birds, causing the observed association, and suggests that neonicotinoids pose an even greater risk to wildlife than previously thought.

Why chicken is better than beef
This article shows the impact of several food products on the environment. Most striking conclusion is that beef is so much worse than chicken, based on greenhouse gas emissions per kg of food.

problem: 70 percent of the country’s arable land is be prone to drought, 12 percent to floods, and eight percent to cyclones. Moreover, the sector is major contributor to the problem, accounting for 27 % percent of gross emissions in India.
solution: (1) improving livestock productivity will reduce emissions, (2) improving water management (3) simple modernization such as land leveling, mulching, and crop diversification will reduce water and energy dependensy and (4) better subsidy alignment to encourage efficiency.
According to Swain, these are low hanging fruit, that easily reduce emmisions by 25%.
