I'm sometimes called ”political". But I've never supported any political party, politician or ideology. I communicate the science and the risks of failing to act on it.
And the fact that the politics needed don't exist today, neither to the right, left nor center. ->
“Well I am telling you there is hope. I have seen it.
But it does not come from governments or corporations.
It comes from the people.”
Here’s a small part from my speech today at the #cop25 in Madrid.
in the hollows
of this day
i do not recollect
these emotions
in tranquility-
a folkcraft to applaud
when silence becomes
an appliance as a windword
twists homeward
