Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip

If the climate-induced genocide of our civilisation and scenes of "resource wars" in which Britain blows up flotillas of desperate climate refugees isn't your cup of tea, then don't watch this video.


But of course you should.


It's a tightly argued, well explained and lovingly animated plea for us all to take action NOW to avoid runaway climate change and the global catastrophe that will follow.


According to the latest climate science, global warming is accelerating much faster than predicted and we're about to pass the tipping point. "It’s not yet too late" concludes the film-maker Leo Murray, "but it is much, much later than you think".


"And all this for what, exactly?" asks Murray. "Individually wrapped biscuits, traffic jams and mini-breaks in Malaga? What a horrible, horrible waste." 


Quite.

Wow! This is outstanding - an important message delivered in the most beautiful of ways. I have never seen the issues about the tipping point so clearly and compellingly conveyed. Good job all round - I'm going to make it my job to show this to as many people as possible!
