"In 50 years, no one will care about the fiscal
cliff or the Euro crisis. They'll just ask, "So
the Arctic melted, and then what did you do?" "... given that the Arctic has already melted, we don't have room for easy compromises." "The Fossil Fuel Resistance" by Bill McKibben, Rolling Stone As the world burns, a new movement to reverse climate change is emerging - fiercely, loudly, and right next door.... "It got so hot in Australia that the weather service had to add two new colors to its charts. Few weeks later, at the other end of the planet, new data from the CryoSat-2 satellite showed that 80% of Arctic sea ice has disappeared. We're not breaking records any more, we're breaking the planet." - more |

"The reason we don't hear politicians, or the "serious" people in our
media, talking (at least in public) about this situation--the true gravity of
it--is that to grapple with this in any real way, to propose anything that would
actually begin to address it with the necessary urgency at the national and
global level, would simply sound too extreme, if not outright crazy. Leave
fossil fuels in the ground? You must be joking....This is the reality--or the
surreality--of the historical moment in which we find ourselves. At this late
hour in the climate crisis, with the clock ticking down on civilization, to be
serious about climate change--based, mind you, on what science and not ideology
prescribes--is to be radical."
