LSE Public Lecture Tomorrow! - Updated.

Professor Christian Parenti will give a public lecture about "Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence" tomorrow at the LSE.

This sounds like a very interesting approach to look at effects of the global climate change. If anyone of you is interested send me a mail and we could meet up to go there.

If anyone of you is interested, but busy tomorrow: There will most likely be a podcast available for download in the next days. (I will update this post as soon as the podcast is available).
