We watch as the world’s fate is decided at Glasgow. Will we find a pathway to a survivable future?
I claim no special expertise in these matters. I know enough science to trust scientists in general, and enough about data to tell the difference between an honest and a misleading graph. I’m a musician, not a climatologist.
Are you following the Conference? Perhaps the endless minutiae of policy negotiations and the deadly consequences of a few decimal points here or there are wearing you down.
Allow me to offer you a place of repose.
Register at Music4ClimateJustice to get a little balm for your soul, while reminding yourself of the things that make our dear beloved stupid human species worth saving in the first place.
Let’s think about what we want to save.
What we need to save if we are to think of ourselves as worth saving at all.
Music 4 Climate Justice is offering almost five hours of music every day between now and the end of COP-26, streaming pre-recorded music videos from Glasgow. There is music from all over, in hundreds of different styles, from countless countries, in scores of languages.
I’ve been working on assembling this extraordinary musical menu for...well, for years.
Every musician in our program also has spoken words for the policy-makers, for the politicians, for the world: Climate Change Is Real, It’s Dangerous, Action Is Long Past Due — spoken in many languages, in many ways.
Take 90 seconds to get a taste of what’s coming between today and November 12.
Today’s musical program is listed below. The previous days’ offerings are available for your enjoyment at the site.
