© Richard Grossman MD, 2009
The International Conference on Population and Development helped propel me toward being a more dynamic population activist. Bryan (our younger son) and I attended the conference in 1994 with press credentials from The Durango Herald.
You may remember that the ICPD in Cairo, Egypt, strongly supported reproductive health. Unfortunately [...]]]></description>

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

	Living in the desert is challenging. We spent the week after Christmas in Baja California camping on the beach. Fortunately, our tents were comfortable and meals were cooked for us. Pedro, a Baja native, [...]]]></description>

“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I was riding in a taxi in New York City. The radio was tuned to music on a Spanish language radio station.
	“Your accent doesn’t seem to be Spanish,” I remarked. “Are you Hispanic?”
	“No, I’m from Haiti. But I like [...]]]></description>

“I refuse to believe that it is too late, and that we cannot do anything about [global climate change]. Copenhagen is our date with destiny.”
Mohamed Nasheed, President of Maldives
Good news! We in the United States can decrease carbon emissions! In just two years we have cut our greenhouse gas (GHG) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Copenhagen 1
© Richard Grossman MD, 2009
Governing a single nation is complex; building agreement between two hundred diverse countries is a monumental task. Getting those nations to solve a global problem, which affects each country differently, is beyond monumental. The United Nations will attempt to do just that this December.
Human ingenuity and population growth have lead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Immigration
© Richard Grossman MD, 2009
Immigration is an important part of the study of human population. It is a part that I have tried to ignore because I have strong, but conflicted, feelings about it.
In December 2007 a large package arrived from our son Bryan and daughter-in-law before Christmas. They were here for its opening—and what [...]]]></description>

© Richard Grossman MD, 2009
We are faced with a global tragedy with climate change and decreasing supplies of fossil fuel. Despite a few people who deny that any problem exists, most scientists are expecting the world&#8217;s future to be very different from the reality that we have enjoyed.
The basic problem is that [...]]]></description>

© Richard Grossman MD, 2008
This month the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) publicized their report “Climate Change and Water”. It says that there is “…abundant evidence that freshwater resources are vulnerable and have the potential to be strongly impacted by climate change, with wide-ranging consequences on human societies and ecosystems.”
The report [...]]]></description>
