I discuss recent geopolitical unrest (world food riots in 2008; Arab Spring in 2011; Ukraine and Iraq in 2014) in context of exponential population growth and climate disruption (causing increases in frequency, intensity, duration and location change of extreme weather events (flooding, drought)).  Also causing militarization of police forces? Climate change consequences are here now and ramping up fast.  I draw on work by David Tattershall and AMEG.
