THE MISADVENTURES OF COW FART

With a younger generation increasingly focused on the problem of rising global temperatures, prominent environmental activist and author Bill McKibben is launching a new grassroots movement to mobilize older Americans to combat climate change and to work on related social justice issues.
McKibben, 60, has partnered with co-founders Akaya Windwood, a 65-year-old nonprofit consultant, and Vanessa Arcara, a millennial who worked at 350.org, to mobilize older Americans. Their new group, known as Third Act, is having a soft launch this week and a full-fledged rollout early next year.
“Third Act is for people like me — that is to say over the age of 60 — the baby boomers and the Silent Generation above them,” McKibben told Yahoo News. “It’s very clear now that young people are — not just on climate, but on other important issues like civil rights — doing what needs to be done. Older people need to not just assign the hardest problems on the planet to 17-year-olds as their homework.”
Urging governments, universities, corporations and other powerful institutions to change their ways in the face of climate change has become an increasingly common focus of activism in recent years, but as anyone at the recent large protests surrounding the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland can tell you, they tend to share a common trait — the crowds skew young, often very young.

Older Americans recall when the bugaboo was the coming ice age by ‘75, which was going to hit the same time as peek oil.
So, KMA. (That’s “kiss,” and “my”...)
“...the problem of rising global temperatures...” Obviously none of these assclowns has EVER worked in subzero conditions outside. Warmer is easier and safer. By a LOT! Fidiots!
There is nothing more relaxing than setting back in our old age and watching today’s young know-it-all people fall for new versions of old scams our grandparents saw in their youth and warned us about when we were young.
Communists sure know how to use front groups.
bttt
Climate Change is like Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster... It doesn’t exist.
Let’s be frank, every group has at least one flaming Ahole. This is the oldsters’.
Climate does change. E.g., 300M years ago the avg temp was way higher than now. Umm, so cave men were burning too much wood?
Climate changes, and mankind has done nothing to improve or worsen it, and cannot.
Get over yourself, you worthless flaming Ahole. At least try and DIE with some grace.
Leading climate change activist looks to mobilize older Americans to propagandize young airheads.
Kind of like the Young Pioneers or Hitlerjugend, except for old people.
Most older Americans know that Climate Change is a hoax so they won’t buy into this idiot.
There are two things I love about the “climate change” scam.
It can be used to keep our small town rural—great excuse to keep large developers out....
Eventually the hard-core “climate change” clowns will realize that they will have to take their carbon footprint to zero to “set an example”—then we will be hearing less and less from them.
“Climate Change is like Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster... It doesn’t exist.”
I disagree. The climate has been changing for millions of years and will continue to do so. Man made climate change that will result in Armageddon? Now there is a crock!
Climate change has been around since the beginning of time. The idea that man can stop floods, hurricanes and change the climate by wind and solar is absurd.
Fossil fuels and whatever the Co2 numbers are....are necessary to sustain this population. It's not 1900.
In other words....cows fart and the grass turns green. It's a natural cycle...God got it right. Why are you questioning him??
Heyyyy, BigNess and the FootMonster DO exist!
Yep. I was jus a little kid in the 1970s, but I recall all to well all the scaremongering about the coming ice age, and how much of it was our fault. Oh, and all the calamities from overpopulation.
“prominent environmental activist and author Bill McKibben”
I’m amazed at how many prominent people there are that I’ve never ever heard of.
There’s no worse fool than an old fool.
