The Untold Story (August 2017)

Bill McKibben - America’s Leading Environmentalist

Would You Buy a Used Car from This Man?

  • 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”

Funding
  • Both 350.org and Step-It-Up cite the Sustainable Markets Foundation (SMF) -- a grantee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Rockefeller Family Fund -- as their fiscal sponsor.
    http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7623


Tax Form 990 for 2015
  • 39 employees, 5,000 volunteers, paid $2,961,750 in salaries
  • $5,137,543.00  in total assets
  • received $11,233,864 in contributions and grants
  • investment losses of  $6,540 [Editor’s Query – Does 350.org have any investments in fossil fuel companies (making them hypocrites) or green energy (this would pose a conflict of interest)?
  • 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 D, p3 – holds financial derivatives and closely held equity interests, but no amounts provided
  • Schedule M – received 38 contributions of publicly traded securities
