Resist we will.

The name "Bill McKibben" caught my eye on my son's April 2013 issue of Rolling Stone.

I've read all of Bill McKibben's books and most of his articles. He does it again with an article in this issue, titled  The Fossil Fuel Resistance.

He writes, "You're not a member of the Resistance just because you drive a Prius. You don't need to go to jail, but you do need to do more than change your light bulbs. You need to try to change the system that is raising the temperature, the seal level, the extinction rate - even raising the question of how well civilization will survive this century."

He goes on to say, "For those of us in affluent countries, small shifts in lifestyle won't be enough; we'll also need to alter the policies that keep this industry fat and happy...it means standing with communities from the coal fields of Appalachia to the oil-soaked Niger Delta as they fight for their homes." 

It also means fighting against the fossil-fuel industry.

"Right now we're losing. But as the planet runs its spiking fever, the antibodies are starting to kick in. We know what the future holds unless we resist. And so resit we will."

Sounds like a challenge. Thanks Bill.
