Letterman and climate change: "Thank you for scaring the crap out of me."

From Care2:

Bill McKibben was on Letterman this week, talking about climate change, his new book, 350.org, the exciting (and growing!) 10:10 movement, and putting solar panels back on the White House. McKibben was both pessimistic and upbeat, while Letterman was serious and engaged.  (select the link for the full article and video)
