“Despite the array of groups and organizations working on global warming, we are still missing a key element: the movement. Along with the hard work of not-for-profit lobbyists, environmental lawyers, green economists, sustainability-minded engineers, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs, it's going to take the inspired political involvement of millions of Americans to get our country on track to solving this problem.” ThinkingStillsCountryHardProblemPoliticalMillionsGroupsMissingMovementHard WorkKeysElementsOrganizationGreenEntrepreneurEnvironmentalInspiredTrackProfitLawyerDespiteOur CountryGlobal WarmingSustainabilityEngineersEconomistInvolvementLobbyistsForward ThinkingPolitical Involvement Author:Bill McKibben
“The emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global community will inevitably have multiple political consequences. Perhaps the most important of them will be a gradual change in the status of the United Nations. Inevitably, it must assume some aspects of a world government.” WorldNeedsImportantGovernmentActionPoliticalNationsInterestCommunityUnitedCivilizationConsequenceAspectAssumingClimate ChangeGlobal WarmingMultipleUnited NationsEmergingVigorousWorld GovernmentGlobal CommunityGradual Change Author:Mikhail Gorbachev
“Global warming is already acting upon us with an accelerated feedback and compounded effect that may be irreversible! We do not have eons or centuries or many decades. Most of us alive today may not even have the luxury of saying 'Après moi, le déluge' because we will be around to experience it ourselves. And if you think it will be 'interesting' or 'exciting,' ask the tsunami survivors if that's how they felt. This time the plutocratic drive to 'accumulate, accumulate, accumulate' may take all of us down, once and forever.” IfsThinkingMayTodayPoliticalAsksFeltInterestingActingForeverAliveEffectsCenturyExcitingDecadesLuxuryGlobal WarmingSurvivorFeedbackLive For TodayTsunamiIrreversible Author:Michael Parenti
