Decades After Paris

Do you find the frantic overload of #climatechange info disorienting? Want to calm your nervous system while not being an ignorant ostrich? Here’s less than 40 mins of groovy beats, soothing harmonies, & resonant storytelling to help with that: soundcloud.com/decadesafterpa…

Leading up to #COP28, @DecadesAP is telling the story of our future with climate change, set to music. In the 10 days leading up to the event, we’ll share a piece of the story and the backstory behind the art & science. @WeDontHaveTime Preview: 🎶📝medium.com/decades-after-…

"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. link.medium.com/LRpEgUdWIEb

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: on.soundcloud.com/WZnPd #CDNMusic

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 🦀🎤🛝 Catch @DecadesAP around 5pm at this free event!

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 🔥 wedonthavetime.org/events/the-roa…

Global climate change from 1880 to 2021. This is what a planet in trouble looks like. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #renewableenergy #GreenNewDeal

“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…” 🎶 “Titans” music.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rebps… @climate twitter.com/i/events/15632…

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. soundcloud.com/decadesafterpa… #COP27

@cbcradioq @mattwinning @RollieWilliams @tompowercbc FYI @standupecon if you’re looking for others doing comedy related to climate :)

It's hard to find the funny in climate change, but comedians @mattwinning and @rolliewilliams are trying. They joined @tompowercbc to tell us whether there's actually anything to laugh about. #ArtsAndClimate cbc.ca/1.6336443

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 cbc.ca/1.6331498

There is hope.

.@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." theguardian.com/environment/20…

Can someone explain to me, like I was 12 years old, why developing nations can't use non-fossil sources of energy to develop?
