Last night I went to a screening of a very good documentary on the environmental impacts of war called Scarred Lands & Wounded Lives: The Environmental Footprint of War. With all the talk of peace and all the talk of environment, it's good that somone has pulled this info together in one place. It's not "light viewing" by any means, but it's not sensationalized either. I recommend it.

I think a lot these days about how to cope with all this, to be excited at the possibility of real large-scale change (now that humanity's hand is increasingly being forced) or just depressed that it's unlikely we'll get it together in time to avert large(er)-scale disaster.
