Dr. Evil vs Gandhi- The Climate Minute Podcast

Do the ends justify the means? If a Climate Hawk could be as nasty as “Dr. Evil” seems to be, should she? We consider, because it is important to "Know Thine Enemy."

Blogger Dave Roberts tells us about a PR man proud to be called Dr Evil, and wonders if Climate Hawks could or should use the same methods. What is even more troubling, Roberts argues that he is just a cog in a (climate denial) machine.

A well-respected guy named Mohandas Gandhi argued that the means were even more important than the ends, and in some sense the same thing. Building a just, durable and sustainable future requires just methods. (That doesn’t imply you can’t be aggressive, or use the truth attack the bad guys!)

The TPP is coming up for a vote. Reich and Trumka call for a debate.  Senator Bernie Sanders speaks about the media's failure to engage the topic. On the other hand, nothing is stopping YOU from speaking.  Go here, type in your zip code and get your Congressman’s email address. Just write “No fast track of the TPP.” He will know what you are talking about!  

Don’t forget to sign up for the Local Environmental Action Conference. Sunday, March 15, 2015, 9am-6pm, at Northeastern University's Curry Student Center.

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
