[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: [California Greening] There’s no happy ending

[Wes Rolley]

This is what I just posted at cagreening.  There you can listen to the 
full McKibben interview.  It is worth the time <10 min.

    There’s no happy ending where we prevent climate change any more. …
    Now the question is… is it going to be a miserable century or an
    impossible one and what comes after that. /- Bill McKibben in an
    interview with Revkin(dot earth) in Cancun,/

This is where I begin to sound like a broken record. But more and more I 
am convinced that McKibben is right. You can listen to the full segment 
below. This is his conclusion some 8 min. in.



I am also convinced that there will be no action from the U.S. Congress 
for the next two years. That means we have to focus what strength we 
have on local actions and supporting CA organizations that are doing 
things. If the Federal Government takes any action, it will be through 
Carol Browner's pushing the EPA to regulate GHG's. Congressional 
Republicans will try to defund the EPA. That can not be allowed to happen.

Then, we need to begin now targeting those legislators, State or 
Federal, who have the worst records and to keep up a relentless attack. 
It should start with Orange County's idiotic Dana Rohrabacher.
/Memo to self: Start a target list./

Too much of what we work for is rather like re-arranging the deck chairs 
on the Titanic. It might make life pleasant if we survive. If Greens can 
not lead on this, we should rename our party.
