Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben asked President Obama to seize the moment in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and take a much firmer stand on moving away from fossil fuels.
From the article:
Obama, however, has no choice. The planet's future (and his legacy) will, in the long run, be defined by his response to global warming, the greatest problem humans have ever faced.Forget the Cold War. Last week, new satellite data showed that this summer's melt in the Arctic is already ahead of 2007's record pace. Globally, we've just come through the warmest winter on record, and it seems all but certain that 2010 will set a record for the hottest calendar year. Every week we seem to see record deluges somewhere. May began with crazy flooding in Nashville and ended with inundation in Guatemala. Last week saw the warmest temperatures ever recorded in Asia and Southeast Asia.So far, Obama's barely broken a sweat on climate change — a few paragraphs in a few speeches. Now, the catastrophic oil spill in the gulf offers him the best chance he's ever going to get to go to work. The president could stand on the Louisiana shore and say: "Bad as this is, it's only a small and visible symbol of the greater damage we do each day simply by burning coal and gas and oil. If that black gunk now washing up here had ended up safely in the gas tanks of our cars, it would nonetheless have done great damage. It's all dirty, every last drop and lump."The president already has the podium he needs to start turning history, which means more than merely pushing for the climate and energy bill introduced last month by Sens. John Kerry and Joe Lieberman — a prime example of baby-step politics.
