In Service of the Wild
Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben was interviewed on what 350.org learnt from Copenhagen and his reactions to climate skeptics.
From the article:
Q.
What is 350.org planning for 2010 and the next climate conference in Mexico?A.
On Oct. 10, in collaboration with our U.K. friends running the 10:10 campaign, we’re going to run a global-scale Work Party. There will be people everywhere putting up solar panels, insulating houses, etc., all with a 350 theme.The point is not that we’re going to solve global warming one solar panel at a time; it’s too late for that. It’s to say, symbolically, “if we can do this kind of work, then our leaders can do their work. If we can lay out a bike path, then our senators sure as hell should be able to lay out a legislative path. If our leaders won’t lead – and right now they’re not – then we’ll have to lead for them.”
One thing we keep hearing from our allies around the world is “the big countries have to take the lead.” We hear that, so we’re going to run what we call the Great Power Race – a friendly competition on campuses in China, India, and the U.S. to see who can come up with the most — and most creative — carbon-lowering projects.
We’ll be doing a lot of other stuff, from civil disobedience outside coal-fired power plants to helping organize political campaigns in [Brazil, India, China and South Africa] that are such a key to progress going forward.
And when Mexico comes around next fall, we have a major, and we hope beautiful, surprise in mind.
