Part 1	We begin with justice delayed since the 1980’s until last Friday, with an 80 year sentence given to Guatemalan General Rios Montt for genocide. Cultural anthropologist Victoria Sanford, who has spent the past 20 years uncovering evidence of genocide in Guatemala, joins us to discuss the fight for justice for the Mayan people, 200,000 of whom were slaughtered by a military, who along with an entrenched oligarchy, still rule this cruel and corrupt narco-state.
Part 2	Then we look into the alarming findings from the Scripps Oceanographic Institute’s Observatory on Hawaii’s Mauna Loa that now measure CO2 in the atmosphere at 400 parts per million, the highest the earth has seen in 3.6 million years. Dr Brenda Ekwurzel, a climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists joins us to discuss the significance of this finding of the rapid rise of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is further evidence, as if we needed it, of global warming, climate change and rising sea levels on an endangered planet.
Part 3	Then finally we speak with Dr Amitai Etzioni, professor of International Affairs and Director of the Institute for Communitarian Studies at George Washington University. We discuss his latest article at The Atlantic, “The Liberal Narrative is Broken, and Only Populism Can Fix It” and the fact that for every one liberal in America there are two conservatives, and that current ideas liberals have about changing that uncomfortable political equation are delusional.
