Documentary: Don’t Panic – The Truth About Population
Title: Don’t Panic – The Truth About Population – BBC
Producers: Dr. Hans Rosling and BBC This World
Type: Social Science and Statistics
Country: UK (Britain)
Year: 2013
Website: web
Opinion:
According to Dr. Rosling, Mozambique should mine and burn their coal as they wish instead of being poor due to the myth of “Global Warming is caused by the poor”. It’s the rich like us in first world who should cut down the power usage.

However, this lecturer is highly optimistic on his analysis and projections of world human population growth.
Very good documentary and finally one professor which I can agree with.
