I do think we can persuade some shareholders that they don’t want to be involved in this enterprise.

Free markets aren’t solving global warming, QED global warming is not a problem’. It’s not a very good syllogism but it’s emotionally comforting if you’re in that world.

We’ve got to work the political system to make this happen fast. The physics and chemistry are daunting. The resources on the other side are very large.

Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Bill McKibben Quote - Where people aren’t as deeply reliant on fossil fuel as in the United States, it’s far easier for them to imagine change on this scale. When you go to Europe, they’re much more ready. They use half the amount of energy per capita that we use. They can imagine using less than that. They see the benefits. They’re ready to go.

If we can think of a plausible, or even implausible, reason to discount environmental warnings, we will.
