            <description>IN 1984, Sue Dakin ran for president of the United States of America, &quot;An Artist for President.&quot; This year, she is publishing a book about the meaning of that project. What in fact does it mean all these years later, as the &quot;real&quot; candidates step forward? In these times of radical fear and loathing, can artists be part of realistic policy implementation?</description>

            <description>Mid-hurricane season, experts and residents of New Orleans will discuss comparisons between pre and after Katrina. The hurricane season was just blooming when I got to New Orleans a few weeks ago and then went on to Baton Rouge, for a conference at LSU on Deltaic Systems. There was a lot of good show &amp; tell about modeling sustainable systems between wetlands and infrasructure. I left just before Gustav arrived. What did we all really learn in three years and how much can artists be part of the solutions ahead?</description>

            <description>Robert Costanza, at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont, is one of the leading economists of our times and initiated the idea that GNP had to tally with actual the ecological costs of business as usual. With Paul Hawken, David Orr, and John Todd, he is initiating a new journal: &quot;Solutions.&quot; In the age of global warming and over-population, what do we need to look at and how?</description>

            <description>Some scientists say we are in the slow phase of global warming and in another couple years, will be entering the fast phase. What will that do to coastal communities? Dr. Dionne, Research Director at Wells, NERR and Rahmani have collaborated formally and informally on wetlands issues since 1993. The pressing question they will address, for the 100th podcast of the Virtual Concerts, is the race between saving wetlands and the worst effects of climate change.</description>

            <description>What does the libido have to do with the economics of global warming? Businesses are turning their eyes to the impact of global warming. Artist Paul McCarthy is internationally nortorious for confronting culture with it&apos;s sexual ambivalence. Most recently, he converted a New York gallery into a glitzy factory to produce top line chocolate Santas with Xmas trees that look like sex toys. Are there implications to take seriously in this model?</description>

            <description>The cultural framing of sexuality is not what we routinely think about when we talk about global warming. Artist Carolee Schneemann has been a pioneer in asking us to reconsider the role of sexuality in our most fundamental political movtivations. Animal behavioral studies tell us our social choices are often predetermined by biological drives, with little difference between us and other species. We will discuss the implications of that idea in Schneemann&apos;s work and it&apos;s application to strategies to deal with global warming.</description>
