NY Times: ‘The Old Climate Activism Playbook No Longer Works, What Else Can?’ – Admits ‘Americans regularly place climate near the bottom of the list’ of concerns
Weepy Bill McKibben Strives for Relevance Weepy Bill McKibben Strives for Relevance By Charles Rotter Bill McKibben has always been the climate movement’s most reliable prophet of doom, though never a particularly cheerful one. From his 1989 bestseller The End of Nature to his endless speeches about looming catastrophe, he has made a career out of telling […]
Trump leaves climate movement in shambles: NYT admits ‘old climate-activism playbook no longer works’ & it is ‘a uniquely bleak time…the future is cloudier than ever’ – Longtime activist: ‘Everything that I’ve worked on in my entire professional life has gone down the toilet in the last six months’
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano comments: “It’s official. We can say it definitely. The Trump administration is presiding over the unprecedented collapse of the entire global climate change effort.
Trump 2.0 has far surpassed his first term by targeting the narrative of man-made climate change (referring to it as a ‘cult’, ‘a scam’ and ‘a religion’) and pursuing permanent changes — specifically, challenging the CO2 Endangerment Finding and seeking to withdraw the U.S. from the UN climate treaty process — that will make it much harder to undo by any future presidential administration.
The Trump Effect is in full force, and the New York Times is now left with examining the massive decline of what was once the dominant global force.”
Bill McKibben ruminates in the age of Trump: ‘I’m a climate activist. I’m not giving up just yet’ – ‘People who care about climate change need to rouse themselves from understandable despair & make a new stand’ – Solution?! A ‘nationwide event’ with ‘electric-vehicle parades & solar-powered concerts’

Climate activist Bill Mckibben calls for Biden to drop out: ‘It’s Time for Biden to Concede to Political & Human Reality’ – ‘Dragging Biden across the finish line will be a hugely hard—probably impossibly hard—task’
https://billmckibben.substack.com/p/the-view-from-the-doors By BILL MCKIBBEN Last week I wrote that, given some room, I thought Joe Biden would figure out that he had a unique opportunity to help his country—that by stepping down and turning over the nomination to someone younger, he could make it clear that any ‘cognitive impairment’ he was suffering hadn’t affected his heart and […]

Climate activist Bill McKibben’s group 350.org ‘Outted As White Supremacists’ – Permeated by ‘white supremacy dominance culture’
https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2022-2-22-350org-outted-as-white-supremacists By Francis Menton Today’s radical left progressive movement has two main branches.

But in other ways the two branches are totally contradictory. The two branches […]

Rolling Stone: ‘Joe Manchin Just Cooked the Planet’ by not supporting Biden’s massive federal spending bill — ‘Condemned virtually every living creature on Earth to a hellish future of suffering, hardship, & death’
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/joe-manchin-reconcilation-bill-big-coal-1235597/ By JEFF GOODELL West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin just cooked the planet. I don’t mean that in a metaphorical sense. I mean that literally. Unless Manchin changes his negotiating position dramatically in the near future, he will be remembered as the man who, when the moment of decision came, chose to condemn virtually every living creature […]
Bill McKibben: Manchin’s no vote on budget bill will alter Earth’s ‘geologic record’ – ‘Most consequential actions ever taken by an individual Senator’
