We have heard for decades now about the disastrous effects related to the warming of the earth due to carbon emissions. We're starting to see the results scientists have predicted coming to pass in the news as wildfires burn across continents and storms increase in fury and frequency. Today we’ll be talking with environmentalist and author Bill McKibben, who shows us that we still have time to turn the situation around by taking concrete action -- but not as much time as we once had, and not as completely as we once might have been able to manage. Bill's main messages: we need to act now, and we need to act in groups. Fortunately, faith communities are good at rallying groups around an issue and maintaining hope against the odds.
