I asked my son and his fiance to sit down and watch Dr. Bartlett's lecture a while back and when it was done, they both stated that no one had ever put it so clearly before. My son is a "math phobe" but understood it readily and easily. His fiance is a biochem major and not a math phobe and she did as well. But what was startling was their comments about never having seen anyone put it so simply before.

I recommend the video of the lecture as a wonderful tool to introduce anyone to the absurdity of the cornucopian positions.

I agree!  I could not get my Dad (PhD in EE, BS in Physics, Professor, etc.) to pay attention to my PO concerns - until I sent him Dr. Barlett's presentation.  Then he said "OK, you win".  There are still the questions about the timing, the extent of the effects we may see, etc. - but he quit hiding his head in the sand!

I first watched Dr. Bartlett's presentation a few months back. It really helped things come into clearer focus for me. All of a sudden I could see the bigger picture and how everything is tied together. I plan on sharing it with anyone I can get interested when the subject comes up.

One of biggest contributions that I can make to the PO cause is to help raise awareness. Once enough people 'get it' (I would hope) that we can start to see more positive change. It used to be that we had front porches in our neighborhoods and (before TV. and AC) we would go outside after dinner to talk with our neighbors about important world and local events.

Wouldn't it be great if this were taught to our children in school in an age appropriate way? And much more that isn't, of course...
