Climate Change Comedy Videos - Global Heart Warming

As we all known, climate change is a very serious issue. But does talking about it have to be dramatic? Good comedy can reach beyond belief systems, political affiliation and even personal opinions. So, why not open the space to the fact that comedy might also be a way to go to address this gigantic problem? While we laugh we are all equal and that is a feeling, a physical experience not a debate. We want to make people laugh and open more space for feelings. 

We people are stupid and loving, careless and powerful, we can do real bad but also real good. We care for our veggie garden and lawns and we deforest entire regions of the planet. We are addicted to oil and to the quest for happiness... We are a funny species.

Our aim is to make something that can be used by environmental campaigning organisations during the lead-up to Paris climate negotiations in December. In particular, the intention is to try to get the video used by the Climate Reality Project (Al Gore's organisation) which has a worldwide social media reach of seven million people and from then go viral on the net.

This year may well be the make-or-break year for a meaningful deal on climate change. This year's negotiations could well be the last time that all world leaders will be present soon enough to implement the kind of change needed. Worldwide pressure is growing for a deal that will do the job. All major environmental organisations are putting their efforts behind this. Presidents Obama and Xi and Prime Minister Modi are all making the right kinds of noises at the same time for the first time ever. Pope Francis is due to issue an encyclical to all 400,000 Catholic priests to take action. It is the stated number one priority for UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon. Media interest will therefore be very high as the year goes on. Social media interest will, if anything, be higher.
