Bill McKibben

From the ashes of the climate crisis

Global warming is a time test – if we don’t solve it soon, we don’t ever solve it, because we will have passed impossible tipping points. Winning slowly is just a different way of losing. And if we’d started in 1990 it would have been hard, but doable – forty years isn’t much, but it’s a hell of a lot better than seven, which is where we are now.
