McKibben In the News
- McKibben has made numerous ”claims that the world was rapidly “running out of oil.”” [Editor’s Note - When fracking came about, McKibben changed his tune, saying there is too much fossil fuel and it’s best to keep it in the ground.]
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2500 - He has claimed that such disparate events as Hurricane Katrina (in 2005) and the severe snowstorms that struck Washinton, DC in 2010 were uniformly the consequences of climate change.
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2500 - McKibben cynically advocates fossil fuel divestment as a means of turning the climate change debate into a movement. In 2012, he wrote in Rolling Stone, “A rapid, transformative change would require building a movement, and movements require enemies. … And enemies are what climate change has lacked.” Enter fossil fuel companies, made-to-order enemies.
https://patriotpost.us/articles/50293 - Unfortunately for McKibben, “air pollution in the U.S. has declined 72% since 1970 despite a 47% total increase in energy use.”
https://patriotpost.us/articles/50293 - McKibben wrote an August 2016 cover story for The New Republic in which he repeated the erroneous claim that Mark Jacobson’s all-renewables energy program would need only “about four-tenths of one percent of America’s landmass.” It would actually take 6 percent, making Jacobson (and McKibben) wrong by a factor of 15, according to a National Academy of Sciences paper. The co-author’s cited Jacobson’s numerous shortcomings, errors, modeling errors, and implausible assumptions. Extrapolating from Department of Energy data, others found that the wind energy component of Jacobson’s plan alone would require a landmass twice the size of California.
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/448846/renewable-energy-national-academy-sciences-christopher-t-m-clack-refutes-mark-jacobson - McKibben writing in 1989: “a few more decades of ungoverned fossil-fuel use and we burn up, to put it bluntly.” [Editor’s Note – not even close. There has been no statistically significant global warming since 1995.]
https://nofrakkingconsensus.com/2010/02/15/a-bogus-21-year-old-climate-prediction/ - He’s right about one thing, though. McKibben March 25, 2016 tweet: “I'm not much good at predictions”

- engages in lobbying. Schedule C p2 reports total lobbying expenditures of $18,598
- reports a ‘Strategy’ expense of $818,698. [Editor’s Note – I’ve looked at a lot of 990s and have never seen this before. It’s peculiar. What are they hiding?]

- Schedule M – received 38 contributions of publicly traded securities

McKibben In the News
- McKibben: earth will turn into hell if emissions not cut: “huge swaths” of people won’t be able to deal with the heat; most cities will drown when sea levels rise; oceans will turn into acid soup.
http://www.businessinsider.com/climate-change-worst-case-scenario-bill-mckibben-2017-8 - McKibben endorses studies claiming emissions will cause planet to heat up by 3.6 degrees Farneheit by the end of the century
