Bill McKibben on Climate Progress (2013)
DemocracyNow interview with environmentalist Bill McKibben.
As the warmest year on record comes to a close, we end the last show of 2014 with climate activist and author Bill McKibben. He recently announced he is stepping down from the daily leadership of the climate action group 350.org, which he co-founded in 2007 and where he has been a leading voice warning of the dangers of not confronting global warming. He says he will remain a senior adviser and active member of the board, keeping 90 percent of his daily work the same. We play an excerpt of McKibben’s speech earlier this month in Stockholm, Sweden, where he received the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Prize.

you folks need to turn up your volume,can barely hear it…
The video is stuttering so I will put what I think is the biggest Climate
news in 2013. The biggest news is the Methane Hydrates in the ocean and the
Methane Clatrates in the Arctic. Methane is 100 times more potent
greenhouse gas then Co2. The Arctic is warming fast and if the Methane is
released then it is over.
The only hope would be geoengineering.
Climate Deniers have continualy won over the public eventhough 97% of
Scientists are on the side of Climate Change.
Funny Bill doesn’t talk about the Methane issue.
