Dr. John B. Cobb
Dr. John B. Cobb Jr. a renowned American theologian, philosopher, and environmentalist, explains the concept of an ecological civilization, its distinctive characteristics and the differences between sustainable development and environmentalism, within the prism of the climate crisis. Additionally, he takes a macro approach to some international problems by focusing on the potential conflict between the US and China, especially since the more hawkish or pro-war forces tend to exacerbate the perceived tensions; the misguided withdrawal of the US from the Iranian Nuclear Deal by Donald Trump; and the negative effects of a bloated Defense Department budget and the machinations of the Military-Industrial-Complex to promote the purchase of expensive weapons, such as the F-35 fighter jet, that may not make the US and the world more secure.
