With polluters and politicians attacking our precious climate on a daily basis, it's about time people started fighting back. Bring in Bill McKibben, environmental activist and head of climate organization 350.org (the upper limit of parts per million CO2 the atmosphere can take).
He spoke recently at the annual Power Shift conference in Washington about the urgent need to fight back against the climate change deniers in Congress and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The 10,000 participants were fired up by McKibben's impassioned plea to take action even though there is no certainty of winning the war for the future of the planet. After all, the fossil fuel industry and its dirty money is all over Washington -- from Capitol Hill to K Street to the White House.
But there are billions of people crying out for change. And that is where there is hope. Here is McKibben's speech.
