    In the second half of this interview, McKibben addresses the need to make urgent modifications to our systems of energy production. Video and written transcript are accessible: "We've been given the warning by our scientists who have done a terrific job at reaching consensus on a different problem in physics and chemistry. They've told us that we're in deep trouble. They've told us what we need to do, get off fossil fuel. The question now is whether we're actually going to respond to that.
