Do the Math: Join the Movement to Stand up against Fossil Fuel

[freedom fighter jh]

350.org explains:

It’s simple math: we can burn 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and stay below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth. The only problem? Fossil fuel corporations now have 2,795 gigatons in their reserves, five times the safe amount. And they’re planning to burn it all — unless we rise up to stop them.

So let's rise up to stop them!

The day after Election Day, Bill McKibben and 350.org start a cross-country tour giving an interactive lecture and recruiting folks to join the movement to stand up to the fossil fuel industry.

2. Pretty simple issue. You either care about the future for all life or you don't.

No grey areas or carbon credits. Just straightforward choose to keep an ecosystem in place that allows us to have migratory birds, butterflies, salmon, coral reefs, forests, fresh water and farmland or choose to use it all up now for ourselves. Choose to support Wall St & needless consumerism or choose to support wildlife and the idea of having an obligation to not only not make things worse, but to strive to make things better.
Since it appears we will be amending the needs of the least among us through austerity. The least we can do is allow them the ability to grow something to eat in the benefit free and ever more bleak future we are leaving them.
Talk about being remembered as the "Greatest Generation". The shared sacrifice of all of us can save the world in a way no war ever could and would generate mountains of praise from those who could still enjoy birdsong and waterfalls tomorrow.

3. Yes.

Well said.

I wonder if it isn't the extremeness of the crisis itself that gets it ignored, because almost anything you can say sounds like crying wolf.
