"The children of our Mother Earth have become a plague for her." This statement by Macaco summarizes his concern, which spreads across the planet, for the present climate emergency. Macaco joins the Global Climate Strike to be held on September 27th and releases "Blue (Diminuto Planeta Azul)", his brand new music video feat. Jorge Drexler, on the same day. There's no better alliance for a mobilization like this.
As a Greenpeace activist, among other organizations, Macaco cannot miss the opportunity to rise against climate change. 2019 has broken the worst records in climate terms. As the environmental organization points out, we are in an emergency situation that can only be undone if governments take the necessary measures to save the climate. That is the very reason why Macaco has joined his voice to Drexler's, to give us a musical jewel that is also a vindictive spear.
September 27th is an almost desperate attempt to find a solution for our future and that of future generations. That's why Greenpeace, along with other groups, called a global climate strike with demonstrations throughout the country, in the context of a global mobilization that aims to force governments and international institutions to act quickly and decisively to protect the climate.
Greenpeace encourages everybody to take part in the event with a far from reassuring description of the situation: "The scientific community has been warning us for years that the impacts of climate change will worsen as we continue to increase emissions. It also warns that south-west Europe will be particularly affected by heat waves, there will be increased risks of flooding, extreme weather events, growing fire risk and an increase in the number of days of high fire risk. And, while politicians do not step forward to lead the fight against climate change, society has said: 'Enough is enough!'
Macaco also raises his voice against this situation: "Our ego, our greed, our lack of perspective on ourselves…, are destroying our home, our only homeland. It's a turning point for humans, there's no turning back. It's time for action!" "The fallacies expressed by the caustic economic powers of the world are not at all convincing, their arguments are nothing but empty rhetoric," the musician from Barcelona declared.
That's what "Blue" is about:
"THE STARS SAY THAT WE ARE THE ONE WHO ARE FALLING"
BLUE DIMINUTO PLANETA AZUL, THE POINT OF VIEW IS UP TO YOU
