is it too late?

A video interview with Bill Moyers 2

Renowned journalist Bill Moyers has seen a thing or two during his career, including the incredible social change wrought during the LBJ administration. He talks with Grist about what it takes to change direction in America, whether it’s too late to act on climate, and what he thinks of climate skeptics.

    Transcript of the last 35sec. or so,
    On climate skeptics:
    ------------
    Shame on them. They're flying in the face of the world's best scientists; they're following the will of people who make a profit from the status quo; and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing that.

    The rest of us have to confront them; as you know a lie can be halfway around the world before truth has its shoes on. And so we've got to stand up, all of us, and combat the deceit, the hypocrisy and the denial that we consistently are hearing, from those who say "global warming? nah"

    This is a great piece. Again, Bill Moyers is out in front using his platform to try and wake up the "slumbering giant" that is the American people. This is time for a new form of Democracy, one that actively practices The Politics Of Personal Responsibility. A time when we do the right thing... not because its easy or because someone else is making us, but because We Choose To!

    Come on, let's Wake Up!, take a look around and do something constructive. The situation we are in is not a joke and if you know that, what are you waiting for?
