As well as being the publisher of the site No Hot Air , Nick consults on the impact of shale gas, and has appeared in front of UK Parliamentary Committees and on such shows as BBC’s Newsnight to discuss the topic.

Photograph: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images Most environmentalists are in no doubt. High Inequality Results in More US Deaths than Tobacco, Car Crashes and Guns Combined.
In 2009, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a study that revealed what seems to be a shocking truth: those who live in societies with a higher level of income inequality are at a greater risk for premature death.
Here in the United States, our high level of income inequality corresponds with 883, 914 unnecessary deaths each year. More specifically, the report concluded that if we had an income distribution more like that of the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland — or eleven other wealthy countries — every year, about one in three deaths in the US could be avoided. Put that into perspective. 14 Emerging Digital Technologies That Will Change The World.

SF&W Process. Red (team) Analysis Strategic Foresight & Warning, Horizon Scanning, Risk Assessment. Revisiting timeliness for Strategic Foresight and Warning. [Fully rewritten version v3] To exist, risk and foresight products as well as warnings must be delivered to those who must act upon them, the customers, clients or users.
These anticipation analyses must also be actionable, which means that they need to include the right information necessary to see action taken. Yet, if you deliver your anticipation when there is no time anymore to do anything, then your work will be wasted. Yet, even if you deliver your impeccable strategic foresight or risk analysis, or your crucial actionable warning to your clients in time to see a response implemented, but at a moment when your customers, decision-makers or policy-makers cannot hear you, then your anticipation effort will again be wasted. Let me give you an example. If you look at the picture used as featured image, what you see is the Obama government in a situation room as it awaits updates on the 2011 Operation Neptune’s Spear, the mission against Osama bin Laden. References. “Delivery” of Strategic Foresight and Warning “products:” learning from the social and mobile web? A warning does not exist if it is not delivered.
This is a key lesson highlighted by the famous expert in warning Cynthia Grabo, who worked as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. government from 1942 to 1980 (Anticipating Surprise: Analysis for Strategic Warning, Editor’s Preface). Similarly, a foresight product such as scenarios, for example, has to be delivered or communicated. Actually, Cynthia Grabo’s point is true for any anticipatory activity, whatever its name, from risk management to horizon scanning. Furthermore, if strategic foresight and early warning are to be actionable, if they are to allow for true preparedness, then clients – the decision-makers and policy-makers to whom the product has been delivered and communicated – must pay heed to the foresight, or to the warning.
What decision-makers then decide to do with those warnings is another story. Lessons learned The most famous strategic surprise or warning failure is the attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941. INSPIRE. Delivery. Foreseeing the future, whatever the name given to the endeavour*, faces two major tasks.
First, we have the analysis, the process according to which the foresight, forecast, or, more broadly, anticipation will be obtained. Second, the result must be delivered to and understood by those who need it because they will act on it, to the least integrate the new knowledge received in the decisions they will take**. A huge challenge runs across both those tasks: overcoming the various natural and constructed biases that limit human understanding.

Tsunami simulations scare Japan. STR/epa/Corbis Japan has been forced to review its tsunami defences in the wake of last year’s disaster.
Japan’s government is heeding a key message from last year’s Tohoku earthquake and tsunami: the underwater faults that encircle the country can unleash much greater devastation than previously anticipated. Last week, the cabinet’s disaster-management division briefed local officials on simulations that raise the spectre of waves even larger and more destructive than those last March, sending the officials scrambling to rethink their tsunami defence plans.
The estimates come from a government-appointed team of scientists led by Katsuyuki Abe, a tsunami expert and emeritus professor of the University of Tokyo. The team updated the nation’s main tsunami model by increasing the magnitude of the largest expected earthquake to incorporate recent massive quakes, including the magnitude-9.0 Tohoku and the magnitude 8.8 that hit Chile in 2010, causing a tsunami that reached as far as Japan.

The nation’s Catholic leaders on Friday rejected the Obama administration’s compromise for covering birth-control services for employees at religious institutions, according to the Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The revised White House plans lifts a requirement that faith-linked hospitals, universities, and charities pay for contraceptive coverage, instead requiring that their insurance carriers offer such services directly to employees, with no co-pays. Chief of staff Jacob Lew said Sunday that the administration would not amend the regulation further, Reuters writes. In a statement issued late Friday, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said the compromise does not go far enough and that the federal government’s overall mandate that women have free access to contraception remains “a grave moral concern.” Git howto.
