Turns out the Climate Crisis Coalition may have found an anthem for the growing movement — written by the great Pete Seeger. We wouldn’t know, probably, if it weren’t for Andrew Revkin and his bleep-kicking Dot Earth blog, which is systematically putting the rest of us climate bloggers in the shade. But as long as Andy keeps coming up with material this good, I’m not complaining…I just wish we could hear the whole song without interruption — reminds me of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"
Well, maybe Pete will be inspired to take it on tour. Here’s hoping. For now, the YouTube version:
Nice. I hope it catches on. Good ol’ Pete Singer, long live!
It would interesting for someone to collect on a webpage links to many global warming protest songs, from Madonna to Seeger to amateurs around the world, too. I am definitely in the amateur category, but last summer I came up with these lyrics and hope to find a good singer to do justice to the words. Give it a listen here.
