It’s been a funny week, settling down to read the latest research from the UK’s University of East Anglia which confirms that the world is safely on track to create atmospheric CO2 levels which raise global temperatures to between 5 and 6 degrees; at this temperature, the extinction of 50% of life on earth is pretty much assured, as is the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, creating major rise in sea level.
It’s been a strange week, settling down with this research, then noticing how few politicians are confident the deal that’s needed will be reached at Copenhagen’s COP15 climate talks in December.
Create a Do week, spread the word about action for Copehagen and drive action.

I’m just back from 3 weeks in Peru.
We organised the festival “Amo Amazonía” with 100 events during the month. I helped put together a human banner on the beach -

and we also had an amazing free concert at the end with some of the best and most popular bands in Peru playing on the street right in the centre of Lima.
A lot of work, I’m exhausted, but incredibly inspiring.
