“Can I just say–Joe’s amazing work is a prime example of what’s going on in every corner of the world. Not everyone is as sophisticated, but in 171 nations and across (currently) 4,400 events people are coming together around a scientific data point. We’re driving the debate, for once, and I wish you could all be in our temporary HQ in NYC just to watch the pictures pour in from every direction. It’s frenetic but joyful–if you’ve ever worried (as I have) that there would never be a popular outpouring around global warming, it’s a sight for sore eyes.”

Torrance Goes All 350 for October 24, Ready to do The Amazing Waving Human Tide Line

It was a historic night in Torrance, California this evening as long-held differences were put aside and the City and your Creative Greenius came together to join forces on behalf of Saturday’s 350.org International Day of Climate Action.  That’s me with my new favorite Councilman Cliff Numark just before the Council session started.  Doesn’t he look relieved and happy?  Don’t I look friendly and reasonable?  It’s a new day in Torrance my friends.

It gets even better for those of us working to bring CO2 levels back down to 350 parts per million as you’ll see after the jump with exclusive video you’ll only see here first on Creative Greenius     

The Cat Is Still On The Roof – And The Roof! The Roof! The Roof Is On Fire!

I originally wrote and published this piece in June of 2008 under the title “The Cat Is On The Roof – This Joke is at YOUR Expense…”

Today, on this very special Blog Action Day Creative Greenius, I take you back to June of 2008 and ask you: What the hell have YOU been doing for the past 15 months?  Worried about your finances and the crash of the economy?  That ain’t nothing compared to what’s on tap for you next.

You woke up to a house on fire, and you best stop thinking that smell is coffee.

Where Will YOU Be on October 24?

If you’re a friend of mine I know you’ll be at the Manhattan Beach Pier at 3pm on October 24th to be part of the largest climate action in the history of Southern California.  If you’re not yet a friend of mine, come on down and you’ll become a friend of mine.

Lots of my Greenpeace friends will be there with me and some of them are coming from as far away as the Bay Area, or Green Nirvana as we refer to it down here.

Some of my other Greenpeace friends just released this new video.  It’s 2 minutes 23 seconds long.  Watch it right now.  Then head over to www.350.org/southbay350 and RSVP for October 24.

Got Sea Level Rise? Better Get to 350

Headed our way soon?

I am a Climate Witness, are you?

kaJMy friends at the World Wildlife Fund just released this absolutely terrific new video on their ground breaking Climate Witness/Climate Take Action project.  Watch it right now.

Then tell them what’s happening where YOU live.

I did, and you can read it here

Then when you’re done reading, take some action and sign up to be part of our October 24, Climate Action on the beach in Manhattan Beach. Come be part of the Amazing Waving Human Tide Line and help us tell our leaders we want a strong, binding climate treaty that gets us to 350.
