Derek Paul and Metta discuss such possible economic reforms as public banks, the Tobin tax, benefit corporations, universal basic income, guaranteed employment, taxing wealth, trade sanctions, capturing taxes that are evaded by firms that fraudulently incorporate offshore, and other ways by which groups of countries can enforce the changes needed to reduce climate change.

Novelist Joy Kogawa and Metta disagree about the conditions under which it is wise to forgive others for their transgressions. As a devout Christian, Joy believes that we should always be unconditionally forgiving, as Christ was on the cross when he forgave the people killing him. Metta argues that it is socially necessary, hence morally obligatory, to uphold standards of behavior and forgive only those who show remorse for their serious misdeeds.

Adam Horowitz made a film about the health effects of the US nuclear weapons tests on the Marshallese Islanders. He showed evidence that the US had deliberately exposed them to heavy doses of radiation and monitored their conditions for thirty years. He and Metta discuss these and similar war crimes, perpetrated by most nuclear weapons states, often on indigenous populations. There are similar dangers to global health now, resulting from Japan's release of large quantities of water into the ocean from the Fukushima plant disaster. What can we do to expose these crimes and protect human health?

Bob Rae is Canada's Ambassador to the UN. Here he answers questions about how Canada and other countries are collaborating to defend difficult human rights abuses abroad. Charles Burton discusses with him the plight of the Uyghurs in China; Paul Copeland discusses the Rohingyas and the Burmese coup; and Calixto Avila discusses Venezuela.

The three panelists are all active in their faith communities and in peace activism. Sister Mary-Ellen Francoeur, Karen Hamilton, and David Millar agree that their work involve a willingness to be open in the heart and to recognize others as "created in the image of God"--though it can be hard to stay alert to this possibility in relations with others.

William Fletcher tells Metta that his research with Craig Smith shows exactly what Bill Gates is also saying: that it is technologically feasible to power the world with renewable sources of energy in time to reach "net zero" greenhouse gas emissions by a date that can allow humankind to continue functioning on the planet. Whether we do so it another matter, though. So far, we are not moving quickly enough to make that goal attainable.

Jon Cohen, a staff writer for Science Magazine, discusses with Dr. Ronald St. John and Metta the inequitable access to Covid vaccine and the prospect that there will be a surplus of it in the US soon, though no plans exist yet for donating the excess to COVAX. Canada unwisely shut down its GPHIN program, which Dr. St. John had managed, but there are other global early warning systems functioning through WHO.

This time there was a lot of discussion about divesting from military expenditures and even withholding taxes for weapons and warfare, as Conscience Canada does. Alyn Ware told us about the campaigns he is working on, which both seek to cut off funding war and global warming too. We also discussed the controversy as to whether Canada can remain in NATO and also sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Arzu Abdulleyeva and Ahmad Alili in Baku, Azerbaijan speak with Shorena Lortkipanidze and Mikheil Mirziashvili in Tbilisi, Georgia about the relations among the countries of the Caucasus and their large neighbours, Russia, Turkey, and Iran. They share a desire to bring the Caucasus closer to Europe, but have not yet fully considered what kind of coalition will advance that cause.

Zachary Jacobson began to investigate global warming when he retired, and what he found convinced him that reducing emissions is not enough; existing carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. He finds it easy here to convince Metta that iron should be added to some areas of the oceans, to increase phytoplankton, which will absorb CO2 and take it to the bottom of the sea.
