Do not know if anyone caught this telecast. An interview with David Suzuki the best known Canadian scientists in Canada and maybe the world. Has been host of national radio and tv weekly science shows since 1970 and still involved with the tv program The Nature of things. He is an ardent environmentalist, but as can be seen from the interviews that he has a good grasp of understanding where his common fellow mans main concerns lie.
His prognosis. The earth will outlast us, As for us, it took the USA 13 to go from no space program at the time of Sputnik, to landing a man on the moon. It did not destroy the economy to do that, in fact it started the computer age among with many other things. So he does believe we can meet the challenge again without destroying the economy. It is a two part series.
