Text Quotes
I think the world on the other side of fossil fuel is more local - the logic of sun and wind is diffuse and spread out, not concentrated like the logic of coal and oil. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
The Arctic and the Antarctic are melting quickly. We may have waited too long to get started. But this is a day for optimism because the battle is fully joined, and the idea that big oil is unbeatable is no longer true. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
If the movie had ended in Hollywood fashion, the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009 would have marked the culmination of the global fight to slow a changing climate. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
It is unbelievably sad and ironic that the first victims of global warming are almost all going to come from places that are producing virtually none of the problem. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
If the Holy Spirit is capable of the heavy lifting required to get Pat Robertson to change his mind, then that strikes me as a very good sign. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
If there’s horrible flooding in Pakistan or a horrible heat wave in Texas, we’re no longer able to call it an act of God, or a natural disaster, or something like that, the way we could have through all of human history until 35 or 40 years ago. (Bill McKibben Quotes)
You can have a healthy fossil-fuel balance sheet, or a relatively healthy planet (Bill McKibben Quotes)
But tolerance by itself can be a cover for moral laziness (Bill McKibben Quotes)
When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic (Bill McKibben Quotes)
What sets wilderness apart in the modern day is not that it’s dangerous (it’s almost certainly safer than any town or road) or that it’s solitary (you can, so they say, be alone in a crowded room) or full of exotic animals (there are more at the zoo). it’s that five miles out in the woods you can’t buy anything (Bill McKibben Quotes)
In fact, corporations are the infants of our society - they know very little except how to grow (though they’re very good at that), and they howl when you set limits. Socializing them is the work of politics. It’s about time we took it up again (Bill McKibben Quotes)
The seasons don’t matter to most of us anymore except as spectacles. In my county and in many places around this part of the nation, the fair that once marked the harvest now takes place in late August, while tourist dollars are still in heavy circulation. Why celebrate the harvest when you harvest every week with a shopping cart? (Bill McKibben Quotes)
We’ve built a new Earth. It’s not as nice as the old one; it’s the greatest mistake humans have ever made, one that we will pay for literally forever (Bill McKibben Quotes)
Alone among businesses, the fossil-fuel industry is allowed to dump its main waste, carbon dioxide, for free (Bill McKibben Quotes)
TV is sometimes accused of encouraging fantasies. Its real problem, though, is that it encourages-enforces, almost-a brute realism. It is anti-Utopian in the extreme. We’re discouraged from thinking that, except for a few new products, there might be a better way of doing things (Bill McKibben Quotes)
We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s) (Bill McKibben Quotes)
In reality, climate change is actually the biggest thing thats going on every single day (Bill McKibben Quotes)
When you are in a hole, stop digging! (Bill McKibben Quotes)
The ability to write compelling emails may be the single most useful talent an organizer can possess (Bill McKibben Quotes)
There is a tendency at every important but difficult crossroad to pretend that it’s not really there (Bill McKibben Quotes)
A world where one tenth of the population gets to be extremely wealthy, and six tenths very poor, is not, in the long run, a stable place (Bill McKibben Quotes)
According to new research emerging from many quarters that our continued devotion to growth above all is, on balance, making our lives worse, both collectively and individually (Bill McKibben Quotes)
The real negotiation is between humans on the one hand and chemistry and physics on the other. And chemistry and physics, unfortunately, don’t bargain (Bill McKibben Quotes)
Global warming is no longer a philosophical threat, no longer a future threat, no longer a threat at all. It’s our reality (Bill McKibben Quotes)
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 (Bill McKibben Quotes)
Community is as endangered by surplus as it is by deficit. If there is too much money floating around it enables people to have no need of each other (Bill McKibben Quotes)
Until it’s understood to involve justice for those in poverty, a future for generations yet unborn, and a commitment to the rest of creation, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to overcome the status quo (Bill McKibben Quotes)
We celebrate the birth of one who told us to give everything to the poor by giving each other motorized tie racks (Bill McKibben Quotes)
What you do every day is what forms your mind and precious few of us can or would spend most days outdoors (Bill McKibben Quotes)
The technology we need most badly is the technology of community, the knowledge about how to cooperate to get things done (Bill McKibben Quotes)
