A bold venture
Interview with Satish Kumar; NGO Director, Peace Activist

Read this article about a meeting with James Lovelock, one of the most visionary climate scientists around. Lovelock comes across quite controversial at times. He seems to shift between a pure statement and personal, emotional reactions and interpretations. However what he says definitely needs to be considered, and it can be pretty inspiring: Lovelock is stating that global warming has passed the tipping point and that catastrophe is unstoppable. So: Will we be able to understand and integrate what that means, and will (much fewer of us) finally understand that this is not our planet and learn to live with it? What do you think?…
