Bill McKibben Writes optimistically in the LA Times About The Paris Conference

++Bill McKibben of 350.org says that unlike the 2009 conference where President Obama and Hillary Clinton came away with nothing,Paris will be different. Bill believes the politics of climate change has altered for the better. 

++The President got off his duff and cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline, which Nasa scientist Hanson said would doom true planet. Pope Francis issued his encyclical on preserving the planet and made it compulsory that the world's Catholics adopt it as dogma. The President reached bilateral relations with China, Brazil and India. So the table is set for Paris.

++The spirit of the working sessions have been termed remarkable in their cooperation and the concerns of the developing world have been traken into account.

++Bill Gates along with other corporations have pledged a multi-billion dollar affort to develop clean energy. 

++If the various parties don't come away with an agreement then it would be .in Pope Francis' words, catastrophic.

++Bill naturally points to the Climate Change rallies throughout the world he and his organization organized.

++WE hope Bill is right that the tide has changed.
