Growing Global Movements
Bill McKibben talks with Laura Flanders
"The problem's not arguments,
the problem's power."
"The oil companies and the fossil fuel industry are
enormously powerful. This is the most profitable
enterprise humans have ever conducted."
"We need a real movement now to beat it."
"The reason that we have this runaway climate change is simple: the fossil fuel industry is allowed to treat the atmosphere as an open sore into which they get to dump their waste for free. The waste is carbon dioxide. Because they get to dump it for free they're insanely profitable and they're taking a small percentage of that profit and using it to corrupt the political system to allow the privelige to continue."
"I'm right now really pleased with this
growing global movement."
