About the organization that sponsored this interview:
"Faith and science are two of the most influential forces in global society. The United Planet Faith & Science Initiative unites prominent religious figures and leading scientists to speak out together and mobilize action for ecological sustainability. The UPFSI is a project that holds low-impact, web-based meetings of eminent scientists and faith leaders from across the globe. Lately our focus has been mostly on the 'science' part since governments too easily brush aside the words of spiritual conscience. Our conversations are edited into short, powerful videos and shared through social media and news outlets to promote public awareness, political will, policy, and action. Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu and prominent climatologist Dr. James Hansen are among the founding members of this Initiative.
