Legacy Journal: Resolution: Take the Cure - Cut Consumption.

Section:
Environment

Summary:
“The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents - seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves.” ---- Jared Diamond

Jared Diamond, the popular non fiction author and today’s nytimes Op Ed Page Contributor, has a popular and long held view of the world, IE, Population Pressure, rising consumption expectations, and carbon fueled environmental pollution are associated with the cause and effect linked story of the rise and fall of cultures and civilizations. The cycles of human history may be largely accidental, but also includes the adaptability and resourcefulness of preliterate “indigenous “ natives.

Currently a tenured UCLA emeritus professor of Geography and environmental health, the 70 year old Diamond has Bio-morphed from membrane cell biologist, to medical school physiologist, to amateur exotic topical birder, to amateur anthropologist, enthusiastic world traveler, to his current position. His titles and awards are many.

Main:
In the times, Diamond states that currently, Europeans enjoy “a higher standard of living” and less consumption than the U.S. Does Diamond really believe that the EU has better institutions of Higher Education and BioMedical Research, a more accessible system of public education K-16, more choice and variety in public access to public lands, more affordable and greater choice in quality food, clothing and housing, a better job market, a lower rate of unemployment, a lower rate of interest and inflation, a lower tax burden, a more free media, a less restrictive immigration policy , ---- etc, etc.?
