The
New York Times: By 2050 or so, the world population is
expected to reach nine billion, essentially adding two Chinas
to the number of people alive today. Those billions will be
seeking food, water and other resources on a planet where,
scientists say, humans are already shaping climate and the web
of life. In Dot Earth, reporter Andrew C. Revkin examines
efforts to balance human affairs with the planet's limits.
Supported in part by a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, Mr.
Revkin tracks relevant news from suburbia to Siberia, and
conducts an interactive exploration of trends and ideas with
readers and experts.
