I made a three minute video about lakes disappearing from Google Maps satellite photos and a rainy day in Copenhagen for Climate Change TV. Check it out.
I haven't had the time to watch all of the other videos yet. But among those I have seen I'd mention The world has malaria and What happened at COP16? Got another favorite? Let me know and I'll check it out.
A compilation of video clips from three years of blogging about the links between natural resources and conflict. Watch environmentalists get beaten up, wars for oil, repression for diamond profits, over-consumption and pollution causing natural disasters and more.
Contains raw footage from French Greenpeace, Palestinian farmers and Australian tree huggers. Contains two short clips from Al Jazeera news reports (Palestine and Somalia). Also contains some short clips from documentaries that are copyrighted but included in 'Fair Use': "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash" (trailer), "The Age of Stupid" and "When the Water Ends". These movies are great and should be watched in their entirety:
Whether you're discussing water resources, food security, climate change, migration, developing countries or pretty much any geopolitical or human ecological topic there is one other topic often avoided: Overpopulation. Watch this 58 minute BBC documentary on YouTube.
Regarding "Ecowar relevance" the following parts are especially interesting.
14 min: Value of ecosystem services
Doug Hamilton, International Space Station.
"When you see how hard it is to reproduce what Mother Nature does every day for all of us you begin to really appreciate the world that you have."
17 min: Water
Mexican government emergency water truck driver.
"At some time in the future wars are going to be fought over water, not oil. But people don't seem to understand."
27 min: Land grabs
Chinese, Saudi Arabian and British "land grabs". Most are in Africa which already has trouble feeding itself.
In the 29th minute a segment about Rwanda begins... Then there is peak oil, carrying capacity, relative ecological footprints, Indian family planning... almost the entire package.
Thank you David Attenborough and BBC. And thank you EJC for alerting me of this program.
