Bill McKibben chats with David Lettermen about 350.org, his book Eaarth, and a new tour to bring rooftop solar back to the White House (Jimmy Carter installed panels; Ronald Reagan took them down; and students from Unity College in Maine, where they've been stored, are traveling to Washington to have them put back up).

Saw this on facebook !! I'm hoping as mother nature yells at us more we will listen to people who talk with their brain and not their wallet !!

Our hope depends, McKibben argues, on scaling back—on building the kind of societies and economies that can hunker down, concentrate on essentials, and create the type of community (in the neighborhood, but also on the Internet) that will allow us to weather trouble on an unprecedented scale. Change—fundamental change—is our best hope on a planet suddenly and violently out of balance.

Its been done on a smaller scale from individuals to small towns and cities. Solar and wind will prevail and all the talk against them can't change that just slow it down !

Jerry, Mother Nature always shows her hand before she strikes. Trouble is most people aren't paying any attention. I think many people will have die a horrible dead before Mr. & Misses Suburbia wake up.

I agree and it is a sad thing. Its just the beginning and already their wall of lies is crumbling !
