I just love that question for the kids to get them delving into Strahan’s oil depletion map:

“If you wanted to invade a country for its oil, who would you choose, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq or Syria, and why?”

Wonder why you didn’t include Canada in that list ;¬)

Incidentally, when I woz a lad, schools prepared you for a life of boredom and obedience. Bloody kids nowadays don’t know how lucky they are!

This programme should be widely taught in schools [and for adults]. I would be interested in getting more information, to submit it to my children's school for inclusion in the late-primary and secondary global learning syllabus. Thankyou for what you are doing - it is inspiring.</p> This is so important to do! This programme should be widely taught in schools [and for adults].
