Not sure how I have missed the SciShow all this time, and definitely don't know how I missed this 2012 video about the Science of Overpopulation.  He discusses many of the implications of exponential population growth, as well has the roots of this phenomenon in the Industrial Revolution.  Hank does a great job in this video. 

Also, if you want another take on this, watch this episode of Crash Course Ecology, where Hank talks about how unnatural our growth rate has become, and why we have been able to accomplish it.

Finally, I made a video about the Malthusian Theory that you may or may not find useful.

If you've taught AP Human Geography before, this video presents nothing new, but Seeker Daily just put it up today, and it could serve as a good lead in to demographics, and is relatively current, as demographic data changes all the time.  If you haven't taught AP Human Geography before, and will be teaching it this year, well, here you go!

This video integrates cultural geography with demographic change over time- based in projected population growth.  It is important for students to understand how the various topics in Human Geography overlap to paint the larger picture of how we affect, and are affected by each other across space.  I also like that the video defines future projections as predictions based on current trends, assuming they remain over time.
