To portray biogeography as having a better grasp of understanding and addressing environmental problems
Biogeography versus ecology? Theoretical postulations, sometimes well-pointed and accurate will not solve the problem. So biogeography needs to be based on verifiable data and simulations that have a 'solid' handle. I appreciate the roles of biogeographers like Carson ('Silent Spring') in raising awareness but we are now headed downhill ecologically and have to work with concrete research data. Environmental degradation leads to all sorts of social problems including insurgency and terrorism that the world now has to contend with. Please read 'How western civilisation could collapse'

Dear Prof Philip
Actually my recommendation is to check what "Al Gore's" work. Latest book "The Future: 6 drivers of Global Change". He has been one of the most influential personalities on topics of the environment . Many U-tubes are there.

Hussin Jose Hejase,
Al Gore is a smart business man.. the environmental movement is his personal enterprise. I guess this is one one of the youtube videos you are alluding to...
Kenneth, you are right on target.
Cheers
I sincerely thank you all for your response. I shall do the needful. Cheers
