"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."
— Professor @jrockstrom#ActOnClimate
This month, I'm blogging under a new publication: Decades After Paris. We're telling the story of this music album, the influences, and the stories within it.
Learn about how we got started @decadesap: Unstoppable. https://t.co/rrzCgIggN0
Also, posting anything about music we wrote in 2015… with the hope that it would help diminish what we’re experiencing now (one of the threads in the story) feels surreal and distressing.
But maybe others will benefit from the processing of all this we did while writing it.
With #wildfire & #flooding taking hold of our attention, it can be hard to make sense of it all or feel reprieve.
That’s why we wrote Decades After Paris. One possible cohesive story: https://t.co/ZyZcAm65NY

Sometimes I play music (vocalist). About climate change. And romance. While people eat and play in the park.
Crabben in the Park is one such time 🦀🎤🛝

“Apocalypse sky, painted by fire.
Drawing us together
In a world that’s come undone.
Pink horses run.”

Those contemporary cognitive dissonance vibes at beautiful morning dog walk views being the product of forest fires and drought-fuelling persistent high pressure systems …
Cue @DecadesAP soundtrack.
Next Tuesday, we’ll be attending @ClimateWeekNYC in spirit & music! Participate online and hear from global leaders on how we can collectively take action. @WeDontHaveTime 🔥

“They looked to the sky and said:
Who’s going to make sure that we’re fed?
Cause it’s dark,
And it’s stormy,
And the rain’s about to fall.
After drought,
There’s no money,
And our backs are against the wall…”

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that, as we approach #climate conference season, there is increasing demand for @DecadesAP#music & videos.
If you want to more deeply engage an audience about a particular topic, we probably have a song for that. https://t.co/9mAdipJabx #COP27
Shelter from The Storm: Arts and Climate Change on Q is a special week-long series (Jan. 31 to Feb. 4) featuring artists who are tackling the biggest dilemma and existential threat of our time: climate change. #ArtsAndClimate https://t.co/6GSC9HuBTq
There is hope.
“Including climate topics in school curriculum is critical for training the next generation of innovative thinkers that can become champions of climate action at local and international stages."

.@GeoffreySupran@NaomiOreskes are "experts in the history of climate disinformation" who "want to set the record straight."
"So here, in black & white (& color), is a selection of big oil’s thousands of deceptive climate ads from 1984 to 2021."

“Technology
Another leash
I tried to hold
A rush of gold.
The last tree,
Burning peat,
A lifeless sea,
Bankruptcy.”
Lyrics by @DecadesAP from “These Eyes” #COP26
