Useful information

Dynamic systems modeling (DSM) are so useful for helping us to understand the interactions over time between multiple components of system.It is difficult for the human mind of understanding systems without such models. This is important that our political leaders understand these models and how we can live more sustainably so as to avoid the worst predictions.

Of critical importance

This is a story that tragically few people are familiar with, but was/is one of the most crucial projects of passion ever undertaken on (& for) this planet. Still undervalued half a century later, this wonderfully put together 3-part series can hopefully remind & rekindle the desire for world change.

Gripping account of how the warning signs were ignored

You can tell Katy Shields did her research uncovering the truth behind this story. The narrative is interspersed with recordings of quotes from key figures. The podcast really makes you think about how we got ourselves into this situation and how we can aim to get ourselves out.
