OK, maybe I will have another happy post sometime, but probably not for a while, so savor this one. From the Canadian Press by way of the Winnipeg Free Press, we have this story: "Students to hold Christmas flash mobs, carol for climate change." Good to see some young people finding a creative way to engage the person in the street on global warming, and singing and dancing while they do it.
If you'd like to see what this looks like (I know I did), see this video of one of last year's Kids for Climate Action flash mobs in a Vancouver food court.
Kids for Climate Action has a Facebook page, and the lyrics of their modified carols are available on their events page: http://www.facebook.com/events/204624079620193/. This year's carol was "Climate Change Sucks" to the tune of "Jingle Bell Rock." Here's an excerpt:
"Climate change, climate change, climate change sucks
Our atmosphere heating, our glaciers receding
Extinction and pine beetle aren’t very fun
And the effects have just begun
"Climate change, climate change, climate change sucks
We pollute away while the poor countries pay
Hurricanes, drought, flooding, increased disease
Climate justice please
"What a bright time, it's the right time
For us to change our ways
It’s better
To work together
To save our Earth for future days"
Sweet. Sort of.
