Global warming is no longer a philosophical threat, no longer a future threat, no longer a threat at all. It’s our reality.

I think we need to think of lots of ways to communicate. And we tried some at 350. We organised what they called the largest art project in the planet’s history. We do a lot with art and music and things.
