By Alexis Madrigal

Sep 22 2010, 2:48 PM ET Comment

Boy, it sure seems like meaningful climate legislation is dead, right?

But activist Bill McKibben is soldiering on. Eloquent and dedicated, McKibben is one of the few people worth listening to in the climate debate, even if you don't agree with him. In partnership with The Climate Desk, a journalistic collaboration dedicated to covering climate better, we'll be hosting a live chat between McKibben; Chip Giller, founder of the smart environmental site Grist; and you. Tune in at 3 p.m. EST to join the conversation.

Update 9/23: Thanks for contributing to the discussion, everyone. The chat transcript will remain available on this page for those who couldn't make it.
