| I am posting this diary on behalf of Bill McKibben, the President and Co-Founder of 350.org. One of the leading environmental activists and authors in the world, Mr. McKibben is also the Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College in Vermont, where he directs the Middlebury Fellowships in Environmental Journalism.
