SUMMARY:Limits to Internet Growth | Livestream
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT WILL NOW BE LIVE STREAMED.  \nTo access the link\, please email admin@sfcir.org to register. \nThe Internet is the largest thing that humanity has built. A Huawei consultant predicts that by 2030\, communications technologies could consume 51% of global electricity and emit 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. And yet\, the Internet’s footprint remains largely invisible and unregulated. Katie Singer will report on the Internet’s main energy guzzlers and some of the toxic waste-emitting supply chains of each smartphone’s 1000+ substances. She’ll also spell out how manufacturers\, service providers\, policy makers and individuals can each do their part to reduce the Internet’s footprint. \nA long-time resident of Santa Fe\, writer Katie Singer spoke about the Internet’s footprint on a panel with the climatologist Dr. James Hansen and at the United Nation’s 2018 Forum on Science\, Technology & Innovation. Visit www.ourweb.tech for more info.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 | Know Now Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register now for WACA’s KNOW NOW conference call Thursday\, March 26\, at 2:00-2:30 PM ET\, featuring Dr. Jonathan Quick\, Senior Fellow at Management Sciences for Health\, on COVID-19 and global epidemics.

As the book says\, “Somewhere in nature\, a killer virus is boiling up in the bloodstream of a bird\, bat\, monkey\, or pig\, preparing to jump to a human being. This not-yet-detected germ has the potential to wipe out millions of lives over a matter of weeks or months.” Join Dr. Quick and Mary Yntema to discuss what has changed since his Great Decisions talk\, how effective local and global efforts have been in combating COVID-19\, and what we can expect in the coming weeks and months.

SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : Decoding U.S.-China Trade
DESCRIPTION:Decoding U.S.-China Trade  \nBy Jeremy Haft \nThough arguably the most advanced economy in the world\, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade.  These antique numbers mangle understanding of the U.S.-China trade relationship\, shrinking America’s true economic size and competitiveness while swelling China’s.  Bad numbers give rise to bad policies that ultimately kill U.S. jobs and cede market share to China.  What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices?  There are several available\, yet they remain mostly unused.  \nThis program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church\, 320 Resor Ave.\, Clifton\, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion. \nIf you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group\, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association\, www.fpa.org.
