Bill McKibben spoke at Campbell Hall at UC Santa Barbara on April 21, outlining the accelerating impacts of climate change.
We were told: The Arctic ice cap will be gone by 2014. Twelve years later it’s still there. South Florida and Manhattan will be underwater by 2020. They’re not. The polar bear population is decreasing. It’s not. There are more polar bears now than there were 20 years ago.
In 2018 Gretta Thornberg said, “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years." Guess what? We are still here.
