With climate change a hot topic these days (some would say it's getting hotter every year), Trinity's Adult Education series led to a very compelling presentation and discussion. Assistant Professor of History at Washington University Venus Bivar gave a presentation focused on the European industrial revolution, and the cycle of "growth" that our American society has grown accustomed to since then. Economic growth became inseparable from fossil fuel consumption, which became inseparable from climate change. While scientists are warning us of the effects, Professor Bivar pointed out that the social climate surrounding consumption has yet to really shift towards reducing & re-using, in addition to recycling. Trinity congregants asked questions and brought ideas forward to try and better understand this issue. This was a fascinating presentation, and we hope you enjoy! Update: Professor Bivar has sent on some recommendations for people interested in learning more about the politics of climate change and economic development...

Robbie Butler is a lecturer of economics at University College Cork in Ireland, where he lectures on a multitude of modules, such as Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Growth Economics and Corporate Strategy.  Robbie received his PhD from University of Hertfordshire in England, is published in a number of internationally renowned academic journals and is a regular economics contributor on media. Robbie's primary passion is in sports, namely football (soccer) and he has a Junior International cap for Ireland. Robbie managed to bridge his passion for sports with his career in economics and, along with his brother David and other colleagues, created and runs the popular website www.sportseconomics.org. Find Out: who lectured Robbie as an undergrad. Hint: He's the host of this show! how Robbie's use of sports in explaining economics grew from fun and a personal interest into something that has grown and evolved into something quite serious. how playing football at a highly competitive level has allowed Robbie view economics in quite a unique way. how this unique view has given Robbie an ability to delve into economics with many sports analogies and examples in which students can relate. how having played sports competitively has given Robbie a level of respect and credibility when using sports-related themes in economics. the importance of working with like-minded people and how it makes life so much easier. why a coffee break with colleagues can have the most intellectually-stimulating conversations bursting with ideas. a great tip before publishing a blog post when working with others who share the same website - it cuts out the use of Google Docs, Dropbox, etc. how working with a sibling makes the feedback on your work more critical and raw - something that could help with perfecting the right article. about the Theory of Multiple Intelligence by  Harvard educationalist Howard Gardner - we have 8 ways of learning. how sports can be used as "a lens to the economic world" that empowers the student when learning and understanding economic theory. how a change to the rules of a football/soccer game in the Caribbean between Barbados and Granada created incentives that reflects the behaviour of rational economic agent. how a penalty shoot-out between Manchester United and Chelsea in the Champions League Final showcases the Volunteers Dilemma in economic game theory (Chelsea are instructed to take all penalties to Manchester United keeper's left but he finds out Chelsea's strategy when faced with the last penalty-taker by pointing to his own left - game theory demonstrated in football). how watching the Simpsons can expose us to economic theory with its many parodies. why Robbie believes that the English Premier League is in trouble and has all the hallmarks of a bubble. how the different economic structures of the US (free market) and Europe (socialist) are reversed when it comes to the economic model of sports. how the debt/GDP ratio imposed on EU countries is similar to the debt/income rules imposed on football clubs. why big clubs may be willing to break the spending rules of the game despite the imposition of monetary fines. about the use of metrics by Billy Bean's Oakland A's and how a 'mediocre' team could beat the cash-rich New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

This lecture took place at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Economic growth is supposed to deliver rising prosperity: higher incomes increasing wellbeing and leading to prosperity for all. But this conventional formula is failing. Growth has delivered its benefits, at best unequally. Moreover, the ecological and social consequences of unfettered growth are devastating. Climate change threatens long-term wellbeing. Resource scarcities undermine the basis for future prosperity. Persistent inequalities still divide the world and a growing ‘social recession’ haunts the market economies. Development remains essential for poorer countries. But are ever-increasing incomes for the ‘already rich’ still a legitimate goal for advanced nations? Or should we be aiming for prosperity without growth? In this seminar, Tim Jackson, an advisor to the UK Government and author of Prosperity without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet (Earthscan, 2009), will argue that society faces a profound dilemma: economic growth is unsustainable; but ‘de-growth’ – or economic contraction – is unstable. He will show that the prevailing ‘escape route’ from this dilemma – to try and ‘decouple’ economic activity from its impact – is not working. How can we proceed in a world where global resource consumption is still rising yet meeting climate change targets will require reductions in carbon intensity two orders of magnitude higher than anything achieved historically? In the light of these challenges, Professor Jackson engages in a critical re-examination of the economic structure and social logic of consumerism. He will set out a new vision of a shared prosperity: the capability to flourish as human beings – within the ecological limits of a finite planet.
