"The new chairman of the small but influential climate advocacy nonprofit 350.org is promising to keep fighting the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline while expanding his activist group.

KC Golden is replacing -- at least temporarily -- 350.org founder Bill McKibben, who announced this week he would become a senior adviser, working on ideas and strategy rather than traveling and doing more time-consuming duties.

Golden, senior policy adviser for the Seattle-based nonprofit Climate Solutions, said people have warned him of the difficulty of trying to fill McKibben's shoes."
