Meet Bill McKibben, man behind massive 'People's Climate March' rally
2014-09-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: Bill McKibben wrote the first big book about global warming, a work he hoped would startle the world like a fire alarm. But the planet just kept on hurtling toward an overheated doom, he noticed. So twenty-five years later, hes come up with a shriller, more literal strategy for reform: actual alarms. At 1 p.m. on Sunday, after a scene-setting moment of silence, more than 100,000 activists are expected to use phones, whistles, horns, speakers and anything else with a decibel-level to make as much...
Bill McKibben: We Need to Win Not Delay the Keystone XL Pipeline Decision

EcoWatch: Yesterdays Keystone XL news from DC is both important and murky. In brief, the Obama administration announced yet another delay in their decision about the pipeline, meaning it may be past the midterm elections before a final call is made. Three things strike me: In pipeline terms its a win. Every day we delay a decision is a day when 830,000 barrels of oil stays safely in the ground. Together weve kept them at bay for three years now, and will continue to until perhaps the beginning of...

This week, Bill Moyers talks with Bill McKibben, an activist who has dedicated his life to saving the planet from environmental collapse, about his hopes that Americans will collectively pressure Obama to stand up to big oil....

EcoWatch: In an interview with Moyers & Company, author and environmental activist Bill McKibben tells Bill Moyers that many who believed Barack Obama in 2008 when he called for ending the tyranny of the oil industry are about to find out whether or not they were right to believe. McKibben said President Obama is theoretically a good environmentalist, but in practice stood aside and opened up the Arctic to drilling, opened up huge swaths of offshore America to more oil drilling, opened up the Powder...
Bill McKibben: Being green wont solve the problem
2013-09-15 13:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Salon: A self-described average 51-year-old book author with a receding hairline turned unlikely and somewhat reluctant activist, Bill McKibben these days is something of a rock star. McKibben first stepped into the climate scene with "The End of Nature," his first book and one of the first to bring climate change to the publics attention. More recently, he founded 350.org, an international activist organization. In the course of 25 years, hes gone from writing for the New Yorker to being a major...
