Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot make short film on the climate crisis

Environmental activists Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot have helped produce a short film highlighting the need to protect, restore and use nature to tackle the climate crisis. Living ecosystems like forests, mangroves, swamps and seabeds can pull enormous quantities of carbon from the air and store them safely, but natural climate solutions currently receive only 2% of the funding spent on cutting emissions.

 The film’s director, Tom Mustill of Gripping Films, said: 'We tried to make the film have the tiniest environmental impact possible. We took trains to Sweden to interview Greta, charged our hybrid car at George’s house, used green energy to power the edit and recycled archive footage rather than shooting new.'

"You can't negotiate with Science. You can't wish away the laws of thermodynamics. The science tells us the limits within which we ought to live. Now 50 years ago the Situationists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situati... who were so active in the street protest then coined the slogan 'be realistic, demand the impossible'. 

Let's repurpose it, 'be scientifically realistic, demand the politically impossible." , George Monbiot https://www.Monbiot.com/
