A Banquet of Consequences: Management Flight Simulators for Climate Change Policy: John D. Sterman, Jay W. Forrester Professor of Management, Professor of Engineering Systems, Director, System Dynamics Group, MIT Sloan School of Management
For the speaker abstract, please go to: http://almaden.ibm.com/institute/bio/2010/index.shtml?sterman
The 10th annual Almaden Institute Smarter Health Through Modeling and Simulation, hosted by IBM Research Almaden, gathered experts across science, technology, academia, policy, healthcare and medicine to explore how technology can help analyze the broad range of issues and interrelated systems of the health ecosystem to make scientifically sound, decision making about investment policy.
A fascinating talk! I think modellers should also look at the social attitudes that are blocking action. Perhaps doing demographic research into the constituencies that oppose attacking this problem. For example, people in littorals might have a different attitude than uplanders, even though both may oppose action as proposed. For example, you see A LOT of interest in alternative power like solar and wind in areas of the US midwest where attitudes about climate change are mostly skeptical.

Dr. Sterman, you are a distinguished academic but your marketing is too bad because you should be more famous than Beyoncé, Lady Gaga or (you name it).
