James Lovelock interviewed as he celebrates 100th birthday

The video discusses the theory that Earth has self-regulated its climate since its inception, maintaining a balance despite the sun's increasing heat. This regulation is achieved through biological control of greenhouse gases. However, modern challenges, such as fossil fuel emissions, complicate this balance. The video raises questions about who should take responsibility for addressing these issues, suggesting that both individuals and governments have roles to play. The speaker expresses hope for finding solutions, despite the difficulties.
