I was fortunate to encounter McKibben through local Ilahee. McKibben is one of those smart persons who sense important societal changes far in advance of others, and writes about them. He did so for the New Yorker. He does so for Middlebury College.
He is on to climate change in a serious way now. He's a Vermonter. Vermonters, Mainers and Oregonians are precise in their language and conservative in their opinions. So you couldn't find a better perspective to speak about climate change global warming.
And yes, funded media will try to take him down.
You can judge for yourself. And tonight you can hear for yourself. It's not free, but McKibben's talks are free to view all over the interwebs. And if you are a bookpers, McKibben has written a new one, Oil and Honey, adding to his excellent lit rep.
The talk tonight is a book tour talk. Admission at the upper price includes a copy. Bill McKibben speaking on his book Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist www.portland5.com/newmark-theatre/events/bill-mckibben at Newmark Theater 1111 SW Broadway 7:30PM $20-36+service charges
