Keep it in the Ground - The Climate Minute Podcast
Friday Mar 13, 2015
Friday Mar 13, 2015
The venerable British newspaper The Guardian has launched a six month effort to highlight climate issues called "Keep it in the Ground". It is a great source to keep up with the latest thinking on climate issues.
Here are some highlights:
• Alan Rusbridger explains why he decided to start the effort.
• George Monbiot explains why we need to end extraction.
• Naomi Klein tells why we need to pay attention.
• Bill McKibben says the climate movement is resurgent.
• George Monbiot considers losses to others than ISIS.
[Editor’s Note: Monbiot’s piece focuses on the destruction of natural regions. The extension of that argument to the fossil fuel companies is Ted’s.]
• There is even a podcast.
Rolling Stone is also on the case. They just published a article called The Fate of the Trees.

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.
Local Environmental Action 2015 is a great opportunity to join community leaders, environmental advocates and activists from across New England for an exciting day of skills training, networking, and inspiration. Whether you have been to every conference or are attending for the first time, be sure not to miss this amazing opportunity to connect and grow our grassroots movement.
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.
