Renewable Revolution

In the show I play a short clip from a film “Egypt: The End of the Age of Pyramids”, part of a “Twilight of Civilizations” series produced by Arte France. I found it uploaded to You tube. I went for the history, but heard it as a documentary of our future.

It is eerie when a description of a past age seems to explain what we will be facing as the climate shifts this century. Around 4,270 years ago, the grasslands of Egypt disappeared, leaving a vast desert. Archaeologists claim to have discovered a regional climate shift during a time of written records and great buildings like their pyramids.

Thousands of our great buildings will not go underneath blowing sand, but under the rising seas and great storm surges. As in ancient times, animals and plants will also disappear, but this time it will happen not just in one region, but around the world.

Please tell others than climate change is a danger beyond imagination, but tracked by science. Become a climate activist, or a part-time activist, or at least a person brave enough to speak out.

My thanks to people who donated to the “More Radio Ecoshock” campaign. As we contact more radio stations, it looks like we have a couple coming onboard already. The whole idea is to get the message of saving our ecosystem out much further. It’s one way we can all help. Please donate if you can, or become a monthly donor.

I’m Alex Smith. Join me again as we wrestle with the dragon 🐉, on Radio Ecoshock.
