The presidential debate and 350.org

Bill McKibben the well known environmental writer, and Christian, recently began 350.org. It's a new website devoted to action and solutions to the climate crisis. You may recognize his name. In 1988, before most scientists even talked about global climate change, Bill wrote The End of Nature the first major book about global warming. After many acclaimed books, influential articles, and courses taught, Bill has now launched 350.org to inculcate a new sense of urgency and action for changing what no politician seems inclined to. This morning, he posted an interview with Ingrid Jackson, the African-American woman who asked McCain and Obama about climate change last night at the presidential debate in Nashville. Both candidates paid lip service to the problem, but Ingrid says neither addressed the urgency of her question. What does 350 mean? Read for yourself and perhaps get involved. It might affect you and those you care about too.
