Music videos on the Environment

There will be more examples to follow but just for starters I thought of Radio Protector by 65daysofstatic, Eyes Wide Open by Gotye and Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam. The last of these is really more about the generally destructive nature of man kind but it's too good a video to leave out.

There are lots of other examples like Michael Jackson's Earth Song, but as this is not only a blog for media expression of environmental issues, but for good music, films etc this type of stuff is excluded!... OK just this one, it is pretty good: Earth Song by Michael Jackson.




If you're wondering, the voice in the middle of Radio Protector is George Monbiot. I think the song was released around 2007 and according to the quoted study, global warming will be out of control next year unless something is done! Playing devils advocate there is some scare-mongering done by some environmentalists, but it's only get people to actually do something.

Left: This acknowledgement of how much carbon the band's tour produced is a pretty effective way of making you think about your own footprint. It got me thinking.





I sympathize to an extent with the apathetic, but the skeptics must just be brain dead, deluded, fossil fuel lobbyists or ignorant. The evidence for anthropogenic global warming is incontrovertible.
