The Big Melt, Nicholas Kristof New York Times Op-Ed
Kristof gives a cogent rundown on recent scientific evidence which supports the existence of anthropogenic climate change; science and an urgent topic of dialogue that’s in part been drowned out by the PNAC echo-chamber around Al Qaeda threats. Additionally, he recounts an encounter with Al Gore in which the former veep is but one step from actually calling for direct action / civil disobedience against the coal industry and it’s role in climate change.
I ran into Al Gore at a climate/energy conference this month, and he vibrates with passion about this issue — recognizing that we should confront mortal threats even when they don’t emanate from Al Qaeda.
“We are now treating the Earth’s atmosphere as an open sewer,” he said, and (perhaps because my teenage son was beside me) he encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carbon sources.
“I can’t understand why there aren’t rings of young people blocking bulldozers,” Mr. Gore said, “and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.”
Good commentary on this over at the Rainforest Action Network’s blog:
