Bjorn Lomborg has some interesting videos on there, including this one: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/bjorn_lomborg_sets_global_priorities.html (which is interesting to illustrate the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving - since it's about how economists might prioritize the world's most pressing problems). ________________________________ he Center for Unconventional Security Affairs at UC, Irvine is currently running a semiar series on sustainability.
