We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s)

My guess is that liberating the fossil fuel industry to frack anywhere they want will drive down the rate at which we're converting to sun and wind. And it's entirely a rate problem at this point.

We'd won the argument 15 years before, we were just losing the fight. And so it became clear to some of us that we would need to organise to fight, that we weren't going to win.

If [a student's] college’s endowment portfolio has fossil-fuel stock, then their educations are being subsidized by investments that guarantee they won’t have much of a planet on which to make use of their degree.

We also have to engage - and I think this is important - in national politics because there is no way to address questions of this scale in the short time that we have to address them without engaging in real political change.

We just see a sort of cascading amount of data of the damage that is being done by those increased temperatures.

A voluntary simplification of life-styles is not beyond our abilities, but it is probably outside our desires.
