Jack the Ripper's Murders Locations
In this four minute video uses maps and narration to show where Buck Row, Whitechapel, and other places where Jack the Ripper made his killings. Not for younger children, and at best, a review of interest for only those doing a report on mass murders, the video must be reviewed before showing.

Rethinking Geoengineering and the Meaning of the Climate Crisis
Professor Clive Hamilton delivers a critique of the consequentialist approach to the ethics of geoengineering, the approach that deploys assessment of costs and benefits in a risk framework to justify climatic intervention.

Moreover, the unstated metaphysical assumption
