Summary

After taking one year off to teach “Forums for a Future” as a university honors course, I have resumed the series. The continuation applies the concepts developed in the first 16 episodes to an open-end list of contemporary social issues. As a way to get started, I created a three-part “Review and Transition” (Podcasts 17-19) to provide a brief summary and introduction for those new to the series. Podcast #34 marks the beginning of a new series (Part VIII) on "Living in the Future Tense." Today’s podcast is part of a three part series on the world summit negotiations to combat climate change. Part 1 in this series, Podcast 35, explains why the proposals of both the US and China at Copenhagen and Cancun were self-serving and why neither could expect the other to agree with them. Part 2 in the series, Podcast 36 provides a rationale for an alternative world standard that is equally fair to both countries. And, Part 3 in the series, Podcast 37, explains why neither the US nor China have been able politically to reach an agreement, and it will provide a means for achieving mutual cooperation.
