Will McKibben wear a blazer with an Exxon logo to correctly note his own Exxon/Standard Oil/Rockefeller money?
6/9/12, "Bill McKibben: Stand up to the Fossil Fuel Industry, or Start Growing Some Gills," de Hernandez, commondreams.org
"This summer Bill will be at it again, taking on the fossil fuel companies even more directly. As he told us last night during his keynote address to the Strategies for a New Economy conference, put on by the New Economics Foundation and hosted by Bard College, the focus of this summer’s activism will be joining Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) in pressing for the removal of some $113 billion in annual federal subsidies for American fossil fuel companies.
Bill reminded us that Exxon Mobil and the other big oil, coal and gas companies are by far the richest in the world. Why should they be getting subsidies for doing business when those funds are sorely needed by citizens for basic services like education, health care and retirement?
“No other industry is allowed to dump its garbage in the streets,” Bill declared. “Why should it not only be allowed, but subsidized, for the industry that is responsible for the most dangerous product of all, the CO2 that could totally destabilize our planet?”...
McKibben said, “We’ll never match their (oil company) money, so we need to deal in a different currency,” he said, “the currency of movements: passion, spirit, and creativity.”"...
- Ed. note: Ha ha. McKibben is oil company money himself having merged with billionaire Rockefeller Funds, Rockefeller money being Standard Oil which became Exxon and others.

Exxon was created from the Standard Oil Company of John D. Rockefeller:
"A Guide to the ExxonMobil Historical Collection, 1790-2004: Part 1," University of Texas at Austin
"With the merger of Exxon and Mobil in 1999, the newly formed Exxon Mobil Corporation brought together a shared history that dates back over 120 years to their origins as part of the Standard Oil family of companies.
John D. Rockefeller and partners formed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870."...-------------------------------------------------------

A 4/21/2011 press release announced the Rockefeller-Bill McKibben merger:
4/21/11, "1Sky and 350.org: Stronger as One," rbf.org, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Jessica Bailey
"This month marked the exciting marriage of 1Sky and 350.org—two grantees of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Sustainable Development program....
The announcement to merge 1Sky and 350.org—two of the biggest movements on climate—into a single organization under the banner of 350.org, gives me hope that we just might build a people-powered movement strong enough to protect this planet. 1Sky and 350.org were born around the same time and involved many of the same leaders. Bill McKibben, who has been a 1Sky board member and will chair the new 350.org board.... 1Sky was founded to support ambitious environmental action in the United States that would keep emissions targets to scientifically defendable levels, stop new coal-fired power plants, and build a green economy strong enough to create
- five million new green jobs."...
Ed. note: Rockefeller wants to create 5 million 'green jobs?' Obama spent a minimum of $90 billion and only created 16,000 'green jobs' according to labor statistics. If Rockefeller's ideas for creating 'green jobs' are so much better than Obama's and he 'cares' so much, why hasn't he sold his ideas to Obama? I'm pretty sure Obama would take his call.

A June 9, 2012 article says Bill McKibben spoke at a conference put on by the New Economics Foundation. This Foundation seeks "to achieve social justice globally" (p. 6) by making a 21 hour work week standard. They aim to reduce economic growth to save the planet and increase equality:
"21 Hours," by the New Economics Foundation, "Why a shorter working week can help us all to flourish in the 21st century"
p. 2, "The vision"
"Moving towards much shorter hours of paid work (21 hrs. per wk.) offers a new route out of the multiple crises we face today. Many of us are consuming well beyond our economic means and well beyond the limits of the natural environment, yet in ways that fail to improve our well-being – and meanwhile many others suffer poverty and hunger. Continuing economic growth in high-income countries will make it impossible to achieve urgent carbon reduction targets. Widening inequalities, a failing global economy, critically depleted natural resources and accelerating climate change pose
A ‘normal’ working week of 21 hours could help to address a range of urgent, interlinked problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life."...
p. 4, "Ensuring a fair living income."
"Options for dealing with the impact on earnings of a much shorter working week include redistribution of income and wealth through more progressive taxation; an increased minimum wage; a radical restructuring of state benefits; carbon trading designed to redistribute income to poor households; more and better public services; and encouraging more uncommodified activity and consumption."...
p. 6, "Why Growth is not Sustainable"
"The growing consensus that a level of 350 parts per million (ppm) (of CO2), not 450 ppm, will be required to avoid dangerous climate change only worsens the arithmetic. And even if this were accomplished, it would allow for no greater catch-up by the developing world, leaving inequalities to widen. To achieve social justice globally alongside continuing growth in high-income countries, with the entire population enjoying an income comparable with European Union citizens today, the world economy would need to grow six times between now and 2050, implying a technical shift of still higher orders of magnitude to avoid climatic disaster. There is thus ‘no credible, socially-just,
- ecologically-sustainable scenario
- of continually growing incomes
- for a world of nine billion people’"....
- to envisage a very different way of using time."
