Thanks for sharing this, Geoff, most useful.
I would like to note that the following video, "Hope in a changing
climate" is also a good and heartening resource, particularly if you
want to add a glimpse of hope amongst the gloom and doom.

Dear GEPED colleagues,
As you put the finishing touches on those syllabi for the fall, I
wanted to flag some short-form video resources that you might consider
including as supplements to reading assignments or lectures. At the
Wilson Center's Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) we've
been trying to capture some of the voices of leading scholars
(including a fair number on this list) and practitioners working in
the areas of environment, climate, population, development, and/or
security. ECSP's blog New Security Beat
www.newsecuritybeat.org/search/label/video
<http://www.newsecuritybeat.org/search/label/video>/ /commonly
features these 2- to 10-minute videos with accompanying context. All
the videos are available on our ECSP YouTube channel
www.youtube.com/ecspwwc <http://www.youtube.com/ecspwwc>.
