Walz said he was an early adopter of GIS software in the 1990s, using it, among other things, to teach high school students about the Holocaust.
He had his students build maps of the contemporary world using different layers of data that scholars believed could factor into modern-day genocides. “They started looking at food insecurity, potential drought, just like the UN was doing around famine early warning,” Walz said.
In 1993, he asked his sophomores where they thought the next genocide might happen, based on the geographic data. They pinpointed Rwanda. The following year, the Rwandan Genocideoccurred. The New York Times interviewed some of the studentsinvolved in the project in 2008, when Walz was a U.S. congressman.

Interesting interview. But I’m glad I don’t have the apartment next to his.

Trying to avoid these emissions, I have experimented with ferry and train travel between the UK and Sweden for over a decade. But plane is almost always the cheapest option.
