Imagine Worcester and the World show #10

Yaniv and Bassam are members of Combatants for Peace , two men in a group of 600 Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters who have decided to lay down their arms and to realize their vision of resolving the conflict by peaceful means. They are Israelis and Palestinians who were actively involved in the cycle of violence in the Middle East.. The Israelis served as combat soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces and the Palestinians were involved in acts of violence in the name of Palestinian liberation. They all used weapons against one another, and looked at each other only through weapon sights; however today they cooperate and no longer believe that the conflict can be resolved through violence.

Host Virginia Swain interviews Jim Fee, Program Director of Worcester's Inner City Entrepeneurs.

Virginia Swain interviews Gary Gardner, World Watch Institute Director of Research. Gary spoke about the Earth's atmosphere now warming at the fastest rate in recorded history, a trend that is projected to cause extensive damage to forests, marine ecosystems, and agriculture. Human communities are also threatened by climate change as seas rise, storms become more intense, and episodes of drought and flooding increase. The scientific evidence is now compelling that recent climate change is caused at least in part by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, which has driven atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to their highest levels in 420,000 years. Worldwatch publications have increased public understanding of the risks of climate change and provided guidance on effective policies to reduce dependence on the fossil fuels that cause it.
