I'm Bill Moyers. It's good to have your ear. Thanks for joining us.

Besides, David Suzuki, on climate change and the free market. Oh, the market. Praise the market.

Free the market. It'll do it. We invented the damn thing. What's going on here? Like, we act as if these are forces of nature.

You know, there are some things in nature we have to live with.

Physics, chemistry, biology.

Those tell you.

Reality, right.

But why is it we bowed down before human created ideas?

We can change those things.

We can't change our dependence on the biosphere for our well-being in survival. I just, I don't get it. If it ain't working,

change the darn thing.

Thanks for joining us.

When David Suzuki was born, his Japanese-Canadian father, worried that his son's diminutive

size, would put him at a disadvantage in the world. So, he named him after Little David

of the Old Testament, the young warrior who slew the mighty Philistine giant Goliath and became the

king of Israel. Suzuki's father would live long enough to realize with pride that his son had lived up to his name.

David Suzuki has become famous around the world for using science to fight the predatory

giants who ravaged the earth for profit.

I can tell you everybody who looks at that nose in the pit of your stomach, this is wrong.

You do not treat Mother Earth this way.

Now he's in the fiercest and most urgent battle of his long life to reverse the warming of

our planet caused by the global emissions of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. It's an uphill struggle.
