Hi. Ive been remiss in neglecting this subject and the ongoing action in DC. Click on the
URL to see/hear a remarkable, 5 minute video of Bill McKibben, on the Keith Olbermann show. It also starkly brought to mind what is now missing on MSNBCs nightly programming. -Ed PS: Chris Hayes subbed for Lawrence Odonnell, last night, and reported the total number of civil disobedience arrests now total over 300, with no end is sight. DN today says its now 332. Video... Activist Bill McKibben on Why Tar Sands Pipeline Is 'Game Over' for the Climate http://www.commondreams.org/video/2011/08/24 Published on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 by Countdown <http://current.com/shows/countdown/videos/activist-bill-mckibben-on-why-tar -sands-pipeline-is-game-over-for-the-climate> With Keith Olbermann / Current TV Activist Bill McKibben on Why Tar Sands Pipeline Is 'Game Over' for the Climate For a fourth straight day outside the White House, environmentalists were arrested for peacefully protesting a pipeline that would carry acidic crude oil from Western Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. Environmentalist and author Bill McKibben, who spent the weekend with fellow demonstrators in a Washington jail, discusses the the success of the protest and the shortcomings of Obama's environmental policy with Keith. McKibben echoes the warning from NASA's Jim Hansen that if the Tar Sands project goes forward it will be "essentially game over for the climate."
