EXTREME EVENTS
| Projected Change | Projected Impacts by Sector | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agriculture, forestry | Water resources | Human health/ mortality | Industry/settlement/society | |
| Warmer/fewer cold days/nights; warmer/more hot days/nights over most land areas. | Increased yields in colder environments; decreased yields in warmer environments; | Effects on water resources relying on snow melt | Reduced human mortality from decreased cold exposure | Reduced energy demand for heating; increased demand for cooling; declining air quality in cities; reduced effects of snow, ice etc. |
| Warm spells/heat waves: frequency increases over most land areas | Reduced yields in warmer regions due to heat stress at key devel. stages; fire danger increase | Increased water demand; water quality problems, e.g., algal blooms | Increased risk of heat-related mortality | Reduction in quality of life for people in warm areas without air conditioning; impacts on elderly and very young; reduced thermoelectric power production efficiency |
| Heavy precipitation events: frequency increases over most areas | Damage to crops; soil erosion, inability to cultivate land, water logging of soils | Adverse effects on quality of surface and groundwater; contamination of water supply | Deaths, injuries, infectious diseases, allergies and dermatitis from floods and landslides | Disruption of settlements, commerce, transport and societies due to flooding; pressures on urban and rural infrastructures |

BABY BOOMER : Population Aging & Economic Growth
Between 2000 and 2050, the share of the population aged 60 and over is projected to increase in every country in the world; the same is true for the 80+ population in all but one country (Mali). Worldwide, the largest absolute increases are yet to come.
Although labor force participation rates are projected to decline from 2000 to 2040 in most countries, due mainly to changes in their age distributions, labor-force-to-population ratios will actually increase in most countries. This is because low fertility will cause lower youth dependency that is more than enough to offset the skewing of adults toward the older ages at which labor force participation is lower. The increase in labor-force-to-population ratios will be further magnified by increases in age-specific rates of female labor force participation associated with fertility declines. These factors suggest that economic growth will continue apace, notwithstanding the phenomenon of population aging.
For the OECD countries, the declines projected to occur in both labor force participation and labor-force-to-population ratios suggest modest declines in the pace of economic growth. But even these effects can be mitigated by behavioral responses to population aging—in the form of higher savings for retirement, greater labor force participation, and increased immigration from labor-surplus to labor-deficit countries. Countries that can facilitate such changes may be able
to limit the adverse consequences of population aging. When seen through the lens of several mitigating considerations, there is reason to think that population aging in developed countries may have less effect than some have predicted. In addition, policy responses related to retirement incentives, pension funding methods, investments in health care of the elderly, and immigration can further ameliorate the effect of population aging on economic growth.

Obama's Vision at Education
-
Barack Obama will reform No Child Left Behind:
Obama and Biden believe teachers should not be forced to spend the academic year preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests and he will improve the assessments used to track student progress to measure readiness for college.
-
Invest in early childhood education:
The Obama-Biden comprehensive "Zero to Five" plan will provide critical support to young children and their parents. And they will help states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.
-
Make college affordable to all Americans:
Obama and Biden will create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit worth $4,000 in exchange for community service. It will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students.
