Prof. Al Bartlett discusses population growth, climate change, energy, and consumption. May 22, 2012
For more information, see the Al Bartlett website at https://www.AlBartlett.org
After working for a stint on Great Lakes ore freighters, Al Bartlett worked for 25 months in Los Alamos beginning in 1944. He then obtained a BA degree from Colgate University and MA and PhD degrees in Nuclear Physics from Harvard University in 1948 and 1951, respectively.
Professor Albert A. Bartlett had a significant impact on the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado. Al Bartlett joined the faculty at the Department of Physics in September 1950 and retired in 1988. He was President of the American Association of Physics Teachers in 1978.
In 1981 Dr. Bartlett received the Robert A. Millikan Award for his outstanding scholarly contributions to physics education.
Prof. Bartlett had a transformative influence on science education and public policy. In the late 1950s Professor Bartlett was an initiator of a citizens' effort to preserve open space in Boulder, Colorado, which ultimately led to the formation of The City of Boulder's Open Space Program. By 1999, the program has purchased over 26,000 acres of land for preservation as public open space. Professor Bartlett was a founding member of PLAN-Boulder County, a City and County environmental group. Professor Bartlett was also an initiator of the "Blue Line" amendment that kept houses from being built info Boulder's foothills by restricting city water supply to a maximum elevation.
Professor Bartlett gave his celebrated lecture, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy" 1,742 times since September 1969 to U.S. and international audiences. His audiences have ranged from junior high school and college students to corporate executives and scientists, and to congressional staffs.
Professor Al Bartlett began his one-hour talk with the statement, "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."
He then gave a basic introduction to the arithmetic of steady growth, including an explanation of the concept of doubling time. He explained the impact of unending steady growth on the population of Boulder, of Colorado, and of the world. He then examined the consequences steady growth in a finite environment and observes this growth as applied to fossil fuel consumption, the lifetime of which is much shorter than the optimistic figures most often quoted.
He proceeded to examine oddly reassuring statements from "experts", the media and political leaders - statements that are dramatically inconsistent with the facts. He discussed the widespread worship of economic growth and population growth in western society. Professor Bartlett explained "sustainability" in the context of the First Law of Sustainability:
"You cannot sustain population growth and / or growth in the rates of consumption of resources.
The talk brought the listener to understand and appreciate the implications of unending growth on a finite planet, and closed noting the crucial need for education on the topic.

Al Bartlett on dumbing down the environmental movement
Prof. Al Bartlett and Gov. Dick Lamm discuss how the environmental movement has been "dumbed down" regarding population. Environmentalists no longer discuss unending population growth as the root cause of our environmental problems. Although mass immigration is the root cause of unending population growth and consequent environmental destruction in the United States, environmental organizations like the Sierra Club refuse to address immigration-driven population growth (see www.SUSPS.org.)

Al Bartlett on the population taboo and ZPG
Prof. Al Bartlett discusses the taboo on the issue of overpopulation. He discusses how the organization Zero Population Growth (now Population Connection) virtually abandoned the issue of US population stabilization at about the time that the Sierra Club abandoned the immigration - population connection (see www.SUSPS.org.) Mass immigration is the root cause of unending population growth in the United States, yet the taboo prevents discussion of the issue.

Al Bartlett interview from Blind Spot documentary movie (2008).
From the DVD cover: "Blind Spot is a documentary that illustrates the current energy crisis that our way of life is facing. Whatever the measures of greed, wishful thinking, neglect or ignorance, we have put ourselves at a crossroad which offers two paths, both with dire consequences. If we continue to burn fossil fuels we will choke the life out of the planet and if we don't our way of life will collapse."
The movie Blind Spot can be purchased at Film Baby for approximately $16.00 US: http://www.filmbaby.com/films/3368 .

Dick Lamm on the Sierra Club and population
Former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm discusses how the Sierra Club abandoned the population and immigration issues in 1996.
