国連の統計では2100年までに世界の人口は110億人を越すと言われているが、”Empty Planet“の著者D. Brickerは、統計を見直しそれに対して意義を唱える。 彼は世界の人口は2050年に80億人に到達した以降減少すると予測。人口減少に向けた社会・インフラ整備を提言。 amazon.com/Empty-Planet-G…
2019-02-05 04:06:06#空っぽの地球 #Empty planet が刺激的。前々から人口予測はおかしいと思っていたが、海外の研究者がやってくれた。人口の予測の鍵は世代区分と人口特殊出生率だ。この本はこの手法を用いた地球の人口爆発は間違っていると主張。予測ではケニア人口は急増。しかし、ある変数を入れると結果は変わる。 pic.twitter.com/LV8qxBo2rJ
2019-02-13 17:30:42それは、女性の教育水準。この変数に入れると人口は減少する。従って、教育水準の変数を導入すると、将来地球は空っぽになると言う。日本の年金の支払いの基礎である人口予測もおかしい。世代区分を変えたり、人口特殊出生率に影響する諸変数を分析したりすべきなのにしない。統計不信より深刻です。

2019-02-25 00:32:30Great to see. EMPTY PLANET has debuted at #9 on the Globe and Mail bestseller list and #8 on the Toronto Star list. @darrellbricker and I are really grateful to folks for showing such an interest in our book.
2019-02-16 06:40:07That would be a terrible mistake and a misreading of our book. Here’s hoping no one tries to distort the message of EMPTY PLANET that way. twitter.com/broscosmoline/…
2019-02-18 06:05:13@McClellandBooks @JohnIbbitson @darrellbricker @globeandmail @TorontoStar Hi John - Dan Kershaw here. I missed the talk/presentation, but a friend with a skeptical nature took it in and was very impressed. I understand there were those in the audience who were worried that governments & NGOs will ease up on efforts to fight global warming?

2019-02-21 01:30:14The New Statesman, on EMPTY PLANET: "The beauty of this book is that it links hard-to-grasp global trends to the easy-to-understand individual choices being made all over the world today." 1/3

2019-02-22 00:02:07"Empty Planet, already a gripping narrative of a world on the cusp of profound change, is even better for having been written by two Canadians, whose country remains a model of international integration." 3/3 twitter.com/JohnIbbitson/s…

2019-02-22 01:02:53More than three years ago, when we were starting out on EMPTY PLANET, @darrellbricker told me his dream was to see our book in Shakespeare & Co., the iconic Paris bookstore. Today, when he walked in, there it was. “I almost cried,” he confessed. twitter.com/darrellbricker…

2019-02-22 04:30:42The UN predicts global population will soon explode. But after painstakingly breaking down the numbers for themselves, the authors of 'Empty Planet' arrived at a drastically different prediction for the future of the human species: wired.trib.al/my8dlGv pic.twitter.com/LcyUAzsNH5
