Bill McKibben’s Thought Bubble: The Fight of Our Time

17 Feb

Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, global thinker and leader, and author of several books; including The End of Nature, and Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, shares this call to action for what could not only be the biggest fight of our time, but of all time. The fossil fuel industry is quickly destroying the planet, and making the fight to protect our future increasingly challenging as industry lobbying, and unabated growth continues. We all need to come together and rally behind leaders like Bill McKibben, 350.org, and countless others, to save this planet. How? With passion, spirit, and creativity, and as Bill says, sometimes putting our bodies on the line. Will you join the fight? For more info, go to 350.org. _________________________________________________ Created by Smart Bubble Society Written by Bill McKibben Voice Over Narration by Bill McKibben Sound Design and Music Composition by Allan Levy Bill McKibben’s Website: www.billmckibben.com Follow Bill on Twitter: twitter.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com Join our Mailing List: thoughtbubble.org

    La video est bien faite, et ce serait utile d’avoir? une version française. A mon avis cibler Total a l’avantage de la simplicité, et l’inconvenient correspondant. Il faut mettre une taxe sur ces entreprises, et elles repercuteront ce cout vers les consommateurs, c’est normal, et là beaucoup comprendront que le pb ce n’est pas que Total, c’est aussi chacun de nous qui devons changer.

    Concise & easy enough so that your average
    college educated Tea Party RAY-publican can comprehendo.
    Bill McGribben ID’s the real radicals, the fossil fuel industry
    & why all elected moderates have been purged from
    the US Republican Party. What if demographics & projections have
    been 2 “conservative” 4 the US south & SW? “Guberment”
    will have to bail them out with quick fix space based tech to deflect
    sunlight & Co2 converters in space & on the ground. Fossil fuel ppl
    protecting their ass-ets.?

    More details on 3, the average american? citizen also puts out emissions, so why aren’t we penalized?

    People are going to hate on me for this, but:

    1. Exxon mobile makes about 6.3 cents on every dollar while pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson and Johnson make about 21 cents on every dollar
    2. Profitability is not the same as the amount of oil sold.
    3. 1:15, this economic problem is known as tragedy of the commons.
    4. The reason why oil has been produced is simply because oil is cheaper? than green energy.

    I like that for? once its not humanity that is the problem -> Bill points to the specific groups of people that carry the boggest responsibility so that the rest of us can stop feeling guilty and start doing things in new ways! Thanks Bill!

    Randianism is a cult–you won’t get any original thinking from TeaParty1776 (just the regurgitation of simplistic Randian straw man arguments and? false dilemmas). It’s ideology, not philosophy, and a poor one of those at that.

    How does? “care about the? world” mean “has its ups and downs?”

    I agree, but I think you misinterpreted what I wrote. What I meant was that every? generation has its ups and downs. I apologize for being unclear.

    Assuming global warming is a hoax, there is a limited amount of fossil fuel that exists. Sooner? or later we will run out. what would we do for then for energy?

    Your implicit context is mindless hedonism. You need a code of values to? know what is a value and what is sacrifice. See Rand. Your pseudo-morality of sacrifice provides no objective way to define values. It tells you to sacrifice your values, whatever they are. Morally speaking, youre a brute animal without even a brute animal’s survival knowledge and values. All you know is sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice. Say hello to Hitler.

    Kids are not cannon fodder for the environment. They have an absolute? moral right to their own lives, with no duty to sacrifice to bugs, weeds and dirt. Youd make a good guard at a Nazi death camp.

    February 17, 2013 at 6:52 pm

    “Care” means serious attention, not necessarily “helping. You want sacrifice & also to split your sacrifice from Hitler’s sacrifice. But you, McKibben & Hitler share the morality of sacrifice. You disagree over the alleged beneficiary of sacrifice. Hitler exempted Aryans from sacrifice to other groups. Ecofreakies want man as such to be sacrificed. Hitler, in his perverted way, wanted less destruction to? man than ecofreakies who hate the industrialization that keeps 7 billion people alive.

    Sure he? did. That’s why he killed 6 million of them to show that he cared.

    Hitler cared about the? Jews.

    Hitler cared? about Jews.

    “If McKibben wants to make fossil fuels practically illegal,? he better have a damn good case.” According to a report commissioned by 20 governments, 100 million people [mostly in the Third World] will die by 2030 if the world fails to act on? climate change. But who cares about them, you’re only supposed to care about yourself.
