It is great to hear McKibben advocate for conservation when the contemporary focus is identifying alternative resources (more, more, and more!)   I believe that we have, or soon will have, titrated our atmosphere to an unrecoverable point.  Titration: remember in High School chemistry when you add one more drop and, “Poof”, the color ( a reaction) would occur. 

Absent sound national/global policy, my personal action is to not fly, not drive, eat local, consume less, and help my friends towards the same goal.  I hope others can do the same.
