Serious Possibilist ~ Rosling @ TED on 2050...

Another Hans "Serious Possibilist" Rosling perspective on population and development towards 2050 here at TED@Cannes...
"Child survival is the new dream. It's only children surviving that we will stop population growth. And will it happen? Well, I'm not an optimist, neither am I a pessimist. I'm a very serious "possibilist." It's a new category where we take emotion apart, and we just work analytically with the world. It can be done. We can have a much more just world. With green technology and with investments to alleviate poverty and global governance, the world can become like this."
