Bill McGibbon - Global Warming Forum
He gave a strong argument that made sense on so many levels particularly the economics.
There is already a movement made up of cross sectional, multi-age and diverse cultures...this isn't a green issue- it's a humanity issue.
A recent film (40 mins) by 350.org outlines the argument at:

The event also yet again catalysed for me the role art and artists can play to engage and educate the community, and provide another social perspective to influence our response to this issue.
Special thanks to Climarte Arts for a Safe Climate for arranging tickets to event.
