ITAS - Parliamentary TA - TA for the European Parliament (ETAG/STOA) New project "Feeding 10 billion people" The Science and Technology Options Assessment Panel (STOA) of the European Parliament has set up a new project titled “Feeding 10 billion people”.
The project will investigate technological options for improving the global food supply. ITAS has taken over two sub-studies; one dealing with “Technology options for plant breeding and for innovative agriculture“ and the other investigating “Options for cutting food waste”. First results of the project are expected to be available in September 2013. Since October 2005 a group of European scientific institutes - with the Institute of Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS), Research Centre Karlsruhe, Germany as the leading partner - has been providing scientific services for the European Parliament on social, environmental and economic aspects of new technological and scientific developments. ETAG is made up by the following organisations:
US scientist Professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka's mutated H1N1 flu virus 'poses a threat to human population if it should escape,' says critic - Science - News. Professor Stanley Plotkin, who pioneered the development of the rubella vaccine and has also worked on vaccines against polio, rabies and chickenpox, said that Professor Kawaoka has not been able to answer serious questions about the validity of his research into mutated forms of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu virus.
Professor Plotkin also said that Professor Kawaoka’s research on H1N1 risks creating a form of pandemic flu virus that poses a threat to the human population should it accidentally escape from his laboratory, which has the second lowest level of biosecurity. Last week, The Independent revealed that Professor Kawaoka has completed a four-year study aimed at creating mutated forms of pandemic H1N1 virus that are not effectively neutralised by the antibodies of the human immune system. This could leave the human population defenceless if the laboratory virus were to escape, according to some scientists. Feedly. Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China:Amazon:Books. Church-Futures.com:-Trends-and-future-of-faith. Review: A Brief History of the Future by Jacques Attali.
The first third of this "history of the future" is about the past: a virtuoso "brief history of capitalism" that concentrates on nodes of innovation in transport and wealth management.
Attali then begins to dream of a near future of ubiquitous domestic robots and dancing sculptures, which comes over a bit like the Tomorrow's World of the 1970s. As we ought to know by now, the future always turns out at once less innovative (where the hell is my flying car?) And more innovative (iPhones!) Than anyone imagined. This future gets darker further out, as Attali foresees the eventual dissolution of nation-states in a planetary market ("hypercapitalism") consisting of two industries, "insurance" and "distraction"; then a wave of planetary war ("hyperconflict"); and, if we survive that, the installation of a wise world government ("hyperdemocracy").
