Human influences. Dramatic changes in runoff volume from ice-free land are projected in many parts of the world by the middle of the 21st century -relative to historical conditions from the 1900 to 1970 period. Color denotes percentage change -median value from 12 climate models. Where a country or smaller political unit is colored, 8 or more of 12 models agreed on the direction -increase versus decrease---- of runoff change under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "SRES A1B" emissions scenario.

”Catastrophic changes in the overall state of a system can ultimately derive from how it is

organized---from feedback mechanism within it, and from linkages that are latent and often

unrecognized. The change may be initiated by some obvious external event, such a a war, but is more usually

triggered by a seemingly minor happenstance or even an unsubstantial rumor. Once set in motion, however, such changes can become explosive and afterwards will typically

exhibit some form of hysteresis, such that recovery is much slower than the collapse.

In extreme cases, the changes may be irreversible.”Sir Robert M. May Oxford University

Ecology for Bankers/ Nature 451:893-892. 21 February 2008 May et al.How expensive is systemic risk? We need a geocoded spatial transparent

metric.

An international workshop was convened in May 2007 to discuss the current body of evidence for effects of atmospheric pollution on human reproduction, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of published epidemiologic studies, to suggest future directions for research, to foster collaboration and to promote dialogue between epidemiologists, toxicologists, clinicians and biostatisticians. Several outcomes related to human reproduction were the focus of the discussions, including pregnancy outcomes (intra-uterine growth restriction, IUGR, gestational age) and male reproductive health (semen quality).http://www.ehponline.org/members/2008/11074/11074.pdf
