    Insuring against Famine – Ethiopia

    Posted by admin on March 24th, 2010 and filed under Risk Management | 13 Comments »

    Can commercial practices like risk management prevent famine? The new manager of the World Food Programme thinks so and is turning to business to revolutionise aid.
    Before, the entire agency worked on a crisis happening, explains World Food Programme manager, Richard Wilcox. When disaster strikes, NGOs hawk round begging bowls. Only when funds are in can food be flown to the stricken areas. Its an expensive, inefficient way of operating. Wilcox wants to prevent humanitarian disasters striking in the first place. His latest idea is taking out weather insurance policies on behalf of Ethiopias subsistence farmers. In exchange for a premium paid by the WFP, insurance companies would pay out as soon as rains fail, not just when people start starving. Its hoped ideas like this will end the ad hoc nature of aid.

    Have there been developments in risk management in building engineering structures?

    Posted by admin on March 17th, 2010 and filed under Risk Management | 1 Comment »

    The effects of climate change have caused stronger storms and drier droughts. Should engineers improve their designs to cope with these effects of climate change? I’d appreciate answers more closely related to civil engineering.

    More than can be shown here. Just browse Google on this:

    The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See

    Now there’s a book:
    “…superbly crafted…. A must read.” -Gen. Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.)

    “This book trumps most of our accounts of the global warming crisis.” –author Bill McKibben

    “Al Gore should share his Nobel peace prize.” -The “New Scientist”

    “This is a tremendous book and well worth anyone’s time to read…. You’re in for a treat—Craven is funny as well as exceptionally clear, and wise.” –Kim Stanley Robinson, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy and Science in the Capital

    “This is a terrifically thoughtful book…. Cravens book shines an illuminating floodlight on how we think about global warming.”
    –Ross Gelbspan, author, “The Heat Is On” and “Boiling Point”

    Greg Craven (that’s me!), the creator of “The Most Terrifying Video” never intended to write a book. It just sort of happened. All as a result of the two-year back-and forth I’ve had with the YouTube community about this video and its follow up marathon “How It All Ends.”

    So now “What’s the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate” is available from Amazon and other sellers through the links at www.gregcraven.org, as well as your local bookstore (I hope!).

    Check it out if you’re intrigued by the argument in this video.

    ———-

    The reason the comments are closed on this video is that most of the criticisms of what’s presented here have been addressed by the bruisingly thorough 7-hour How It All Ends video project, the discussion is happening over there. I spent months combing through literally tens of thousands of critical comments to find every single objection, criticism, “Yeah but,” and “You missed a spot” that I could to this video.

    You might find the results interesting, and hopefully, helpful: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=92EE5DBE2987982F

    You can post comments there. But to tell the truth, the conversation has moved even farther along, since the criticisms to those videos gave rise to the book, which now has it’s own discussions going at http://www.manpollo.org/forums/index.php.
