Planetary Emergency:the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum

David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency," effectively (and passionately and eloquently) declaring such an emergency. A year of reflection afforded by my sabbatical devoted to the study of climate change has convinced me that Orr is correct.

    This short presentation will highlight some provocative aspects of global climate destabilization across the divisions of the university, and call for transdisciplinary action against our common enemy: ourselves.

Motivations....Why speak out now? Why here?

“Faced with much uncertainty about future climate conditions, we can no longer rely on past experience to guide our decisions.

[Adaptation] calls on concepts such as transdisciplinarity....”Catherine Ste-Marie, in Chasing Climate Change -- Exploring the Option of Assisted Migration (2011) -- my emphasis

“Armed with the security of tenure and the time to study the world with care, professors would appear to have a unique opportunity to act as society’s scouts to signal impending problems.... Yet

rarely have members of the academy succeeded in discovering emerging issues and bringing them vividly to the attention of the

public.”Derek Bok (1990), former president of Harvard, quoted in David Orr’s Earth in Mind (1994)

So why do we behave so badly?

The Tragedy of the Commons

The earth, like the sun, like the air, belongs to everyone — and to no one. (Edward Abbey)

Page 16: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

The Tragedy of the Commons

"Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen. The evidence

on the seriousness of the risks from inaction or delayed action is now overwhelming. The problem of

climate change involves a fundamental failure of markets: those who damage others by emitting

greenhouse gases generally do not pay.“

Sir Nicholas Stern (2007)

The Carbon Crisis is a Planetary Emergency

the Keeling Data (“the most important environmental data set of the 20th century”),

the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, and

the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The Carbon Crisis can be illustrated with a cast of three:

So if there’s a Planetary

Emergency,then we need to ramp up, to go on a war-time footing -- to begin to seriously battle

the foe -- which is us.

So if there’s a Planetary

Emergency,then we need to ramp up, to go on a war-time footing -- to begin to seriously battle

What should we be doing?What should we be telling our

students?How should education change?

Page 33: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

“What is Education For?”

This essay, by David Orr, leads off the book Earth in Mind (1994).

Orr argues for a revolution in education to deal with our

assault upon the Earth:

“The truth is that without significant precautions, education can equip people

merely to be more effective vandals of the earth.”

Page 34: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

David OrrAuthor of

Earth in Mind: on Education, Environment, and the Human Prospect (1994)

Down to the wire: Confronting Climate Collapse (2009)

(and others)

Orr quotes H. G. Wells: we are in “a race between education and

catastrophe.”

Page 35: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Orr Rethinks Education

1. All education is environmental education.2. It is time to establish national goals for

ecological literacy and make these a vital part of the curriculum.

3. Education is not mastery of subject matter but mastery of one’s person.

4. We have to challenge the hubris buried in the hidden curriculum that says that human domination of nature is good.

Page 36: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

1. Control Carbon

2. Protect the Global Commons

3. Warn our students

4. Speak truth to power

5. Reform education to bring it back into harmony with nature.

So: What Must We Do?

Page 37: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

1. Control Carbon

1. We “need to understand and accept the gravity of the impacts of global warming on the human and natural world.”

2. “[N]ations must establish policies that raise the price of CO2

and other greenhouse-gas emissions.”

3. “[G]overnments and the private sector must intensively pursue low-carbon, zero-carbon, and even negative-carbon technologies.”

William Nordhaus is an economist, author of these two important works. He suggests

“Three Steps for Today”: 2013

Page 38: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

2. Protect the Global Commons

It is not okay to foul our community’s air with your carbon.

It is not okay to poison our streams, rivers, and oceans with your agricultural wastes.

It is not okay for you to destroy virgin old-growth forest and replace it with a monoculture of pines.

It is not okay to tear the top off of a mountain and dump it into the streams to tear out the coal while poisoning people.

(and the list goes on).

The Kindergarten rule: if you make a mess, clean it up.

Demand that we internalize externalities.

Page 39: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

3. Warn our Students:

The sixth mass extinction (sixth in 3.5 billion years) is underway.

Agricultural production is dropping; fish stocks are falling; meanwhile, a hungry population is rising.

Oceans are warming, rising, and acidifying.

Glaciers and ice caps are melting.

Methane is melting out of our oceans and permafrost.

Deforestation (often for more farmland) proceeds unabated.

Diseases and pests are spreading.

Cheap oil is gone; cheap (clean) water is gone.

This is the world that your parents and teachers bequeath you:

Page 40: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

4. Speak truth to power

In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott said “I’m not a scientist” when asked about climate change. So scientists in Florida wrote him a letter, and said we’d like to meet with you, and explain this to you.

Kentucky Senators Mitch McConnell ('I don't buy' that climate is changing. In 1970s 'we were all concerned about the ice age coming.' -- 3/2014) and Rand Paul (“I don’t think we really want a commander-in-chief who’s battling climate change instead of terrorism” -- 9/2014 ) need to be educated. We need to meet with them, and educate them.

“The global crisis ahead is a direct result of the largest political failure in history.” Orr, DW (2009)

We need to call out our politicians who refuse to act:

Page 41: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

5. Reform Education

We need to confess our failures and agree to seek ways to get beyond them.

Page 42: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Academic and Societal Failures

Economic failure (externalization -- there has been no charge for destroying the commons)

Political failure (failure of governments to act in spite of the clear warnings of scientists)

Psychological failure (human unwillingness to sacrifice today for tomorrow’s populations)

Sociological failure (famine in the midst of plenty, destined to only get worse)

Page 43: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Academic and Societal FailuresScientific failure (although the science is agnostic, and good, on climate; the fault is in our will to dominate nature, rather than to live as part of nature.)

Technological failure (We do things because we can, rather than because we should. We can tear down mountains, so we do -- for coal, which destroys our atmosphere, mountain ecosystems, streams, and poisons us with mercury....)

Page 44: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Academic and Societal Failures

Agricultural failure (big farming -- “get big or get out” -- has been a roaring success at delivering cheap food while destroying soil, forest, rivers, gulfs, and rural life)

Mathematical failure (linear thinking -- that small actions lead to small reactions -- and the failure to reflect on our own models)

Page 45: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Academic and Societal Failures

Mathematical failure (linear thinking, and the failure to reflect on our own models)

Let me pick on mathematics a little....

Page 46: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Academic and Societal Failures

Mathematical failure (linear thinking, and the failure to reflect on our own models)

Linear thinking: that small changes in behavior lead to small changes in a system (e.g. the climate system).

Linear thinking denies the existence of tipping points, or actions which seem small, but which have out-sized impacts. Examples of misplaced linear thinking:

1. That one small step at the Grand Canyon won’t hurt you.2. That the world can’t change much in a short amount of time.

Suggested change in Mathematics Education: encourage the study of non-linearity, and focus on model systems that exhibit (surprising) tipping points.

Conclusions“The world has always needed a dangerous

professorate and needs one now more than ever before. It needs a professorate with ideas that are dangerous

to greed, shortsightedness, indulgence, exploitation, apathy, high-tech pedantry, and

narrowness.”

Is this “just talk”? Or will we band together to educate for a planetary

emergency?

Bob Dylan On Climate

Come senators, congressmenPlease heed the callDon’t stand in the doorwayDon’t block up the hallFor he that gets hurtWill be he who has stalledThere’s a battle outside and it is ragin’It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your wallsFor the times they are a-changin’’

Bob Dylan (1963)

Page 56: Planetary Emergency: the Carbon Crisis Across the Curriculum David Orr argues that "we are still educating the young as if there is no planetary emergency,"

Transdisciplinarity definition: “connotes a research strategy that crosses many disciplinary boundaries to create a holistic approach.” (Wikipedia)

While climate change is frequently seen as a problem for hard scientists (and perhaps merely atmospheric physicists or meteorologists), the breadth of impacts suggest that global climate destabilization is actually the business of every discipline.

Hard sciences such as chemistry (ocean acidification), biology (mass extinction), oceanography (coral bleaching), atmospheric physics (runaway greenhouse effect), etc. are obviously implicated.

Social sciences are weighing in more heavily with time: economics, political science, and psychology are disciplines which must be included, although the arts (e.g. literature -- The Road, by Cormac McCarthy -- or film and more modern social media) are going to play an important role.
