In this interview Lovelock sounds a final warning for planet earth and enthuses about his upcoming space trip.

Elder statesman of climatology James Lovelock talks to FirstScience about his concerns for the future of Earth and its inhabitants.

As the first person to suggest that the Planet’s climate is regulated by life — his acclaimed Gaia theory — there is no one better placed to comment on what has finally come to be widely accepted: that this mechanism established for eons is now being corrupted by the activity of man.

With a contemporary insight and eloquence that belies his 88 years, he answers some of the trickiest questions regarding global warming, such as have we reached the tipping point? And not shying from controversy, or the angst of the old-school Green lobby, he deftly dismisses alternative energy and throws his weight behind nuclear.

Discover his reasoning, his fears and his hopes for mankind’s ingenuity in this FirstScience.tv exclusive. Get it Free at up to DVD quality.

Equally sufficient would be to use Google scholar, and search for any publication in the last ten years to see where the modern scientists are evolving the theories he first proposed into the modern world.

Profiting From Genocide: The World Bank’s Bloody History in Guatemala

World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) supported genocide in Guatemala and ought to pay reparations, according to a recent report by Jubilee International.

This well-documented accusation surfaces as the Central American nation becomes the first country in the Americas to try a former president for genocide and crimes against humanity in a domestic court. But the prosecution of war criminals and the accusations against International Financial Institutions (IFIs) have so far done little to protect vulnerable communities from the ongoing expansion of mining, oil and other economic interests invading their territories and violating their human rights.

“Generating Terror,” the Jubilee Debt Campaign’s report issued in December, examines how international lending and debt by IFIs such as the World Bank and the IDB helped legitimize Guatemala’s genocidal regimes of the late 1970s and early 1980s and essentially subsidized their terror campaigns.

“The lending of Western States and banks and the multilateral banks they control (importantly including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Inter-American Development Bank) was an important element in sustaining the long period of military rule which followed the coup against President (Jacobo) Arbenz in 1954,” the report states. “Particularly worrying, however, is the very dramatic increase in lending that coincided with the highest waves of terror, which reached genocidal proportions in the late 1970s and early 1980s.”

Jubilee’s report uses the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam project as a case study.

“Communities threatened by new similar projects should not let their rights be violated because these projects result in the destruction of the social fabric and even in death,” said Juan de Dios, a Mayan Guatemalan who since 2005 has been spearheading, along with others, the formal Chixoy Dam Reparations negotiation process with the government of Guatemala on behalf of all the Chixoy Dam-harmed communities…….(read more).
