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

<blockquote>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. <i>- Bill
McKibben in an interview with Revkin(dot earth) in Cancun,</i></blockquote>
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.<br>
<br>

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<i>Memo to self: Start a target list.</i> <br>
<br>
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. <br>
