Hans Rosling: Don't Panic — The Facts About Population

This is just fantastic! Hans Rosling pulls together many of his various presentations over recent years and melds them into a one-hour-long presentation about the astonishing way our world is improving while pointing to the challenges ahead. I know this is long, but if you watch this closely and learn, you will be well-positioned to accurately reflect on the alarmist claims of environmentalists, neo-cons, and other ideologies. If I were teaching a demography or economic development class, this video would be the first hour of the first class of the semester.
