#OvercomingOvershoot

Everyone should make sure to tune in to #OvercomingOvershoot.  I posted last month about it, but here is a bit more.

Thanks again to Gary Wockner for hosting me and my amazing colleague Dr. Phoebe Barnard (who was one of the lead authors of the World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency in BioScience in November 2019) for a discussion about my book A Planet of 3 Billion on his new podcast series #OvercomingOvershoot, this episode entitled “The Human Impact Crisis”.  Sponsored by EarthX, this new podcast series was formulated to help us all better understand how runaway population growth and overconsumption have led us to overshoot our planet’s carrying capacity.  I would encourage everyone to listen to the whole series available on EarthX OnDemand, where our episode was preceded by amazing guests such as:  Episode 1’s Tom Butler, editor of the new book Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot.  And, Episode 2’s Laurel Hanscomb, CEO of the Global Footprint Network.  Stay tuned for what promises to be an insightful series of episodes that will address the complex and overlapping issues surrounding humanity’s overshoot of our planet’s carrying capacity.
