Bill McKibben: This is how the earth works now

[AverageJoe90]

35. I didn't say anything about McKibben.

What I have said, however, is that the doomers had good intentions, but it sadly backfired, because the climate deniers found them to be the perfect stereotype to tar ALL of us who believe in the reality that is anthropogenic effects on the climate, and how serious things have become. The blame, in this case, primarily lies with the climate deniers who purposefully dishonestly framed the discussion in a falsified manner, though I do honestly believe some of the doomers were being somewhat irresponsible.

I do get frustrated, but I try to focus on what can be done to fix our problems. Even if you, yourself, may believe that Earth is doomed, it doesn't hurt to help the rest of us find solutions. If we can concentrate on that one key thing, then there is hope.
