Bill McKibben
“So: global warming is the ultimate problem of oil companies because oil causes it, and it's the ultimate problem for government haters because without government intervention, you can't solve it. Those twin existential threats, to cash and to worldview, meant that there was never any shortage of resources for the task of denying climate change.”
Bill McKibben, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?

“The transformation we need in order to stay below 1.5 C or even 2 C of warming may not be politically possible today. But we are the ones who determine what will be politically possible tomorrow.”
Greta Thunberg, The Climate Book: The Facts and the Solutions
