Written By: - Date published: 10:51 am, May 14th, 2013 - 45 comments

We have passed the dangerous and depressing milestone of 400ppm atmospheric CO2. 350.org are calling for a “relentless rise in activism” to match the “relentless rise in carbon”. After Copenhagen I no longer think that’s going to happen.

One of the many problems facing people who want to grow popular awareness of matters ecological is that for the large part, it’s bloody depressing if you start to get the reality of it. So I imagine director Cameron Russell sold the pitch for this vid with an argument something like “we need to catch […]
