A good many videos this week. First, wanna learn about exponential growth? Here's a short video entitled "Are Humans Smarter than Yeast?" (mentions Bob Shaw even!--basically an 8 min version of Al Bartlett's hour talk over at GPM on exponential growth) Perhaps a smidge rudimentary for this crowd, but pay special attention to the three points around 5:45 into the video.

Under the fold, a few short videos apropos of the problems we face: Bill Moyers on PBS provocatively talking big oil last night, Kunstler talking the long emergency on CBC, Jeff Rubin on CNBC talking $7 gas, VMT, light rail, and other things, and then finally Olbermann and Krugman talking both US presidential candidates' "energy policy." Include other links in the comments.
