Bill McKibben BiographyOf all the challenges the planet faces, none is as large as its fast-heating climate—and no one has worked longer or harder than Bill McKibben both to document and fight that ever-growing crisis. The author of the first book about global warming—1989’s The End of Nature—McKibben went on to found 350.org, which has become the biggest grassroots climate campaign in the world.
Bill is the Schumann Distinguished Professor in Residence at Middlebury College. He has written over a dozen books about the environment, from his first, The End of Nature, regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change when it came out in 1989, to Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? McKibben is a 2014 recipient of the Right Livelihood Prize, the 2013 winner of the Gandhi Prize and Thomas Merton Prize, and holds honorary degrees from 18 colleges and universities. He is a former staff writer for The New Yorker. TIME Magazine has called him “perhaps the planet’s best green journalist,” and he’s lectured and organized on every continent, including Antarctica.

In the summer of 2007, Arctic ice began to melt far more rapidly than scientists had expected. Before the season was out, they'd begun to conclude that the earth was already moving past tipping points—that indicators, from the thawing of glaciers to the spread of droughts, showed global warming was a present crisis, not a future threat. Our leading climatologists even gave us a number for the red line: 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere. That’s a tough number, since we’re already past it. In this talk, Bill McKibben describes not only the science of the situation, but also the inspiring global movement that he's led to help change the world’s understanding of its peril, and spur the reforms necessary to get the planet back to safety. McKibben’s work has crossed the boundaries of language and faith, even the gulf between rich and poor, and it makes for a vibrant, powerful talk that can lead to real change.
The writer-turned-activist on leading the leaderless climate movement.
