Wake Up, Freak Out, Then Get a Grip is a short animated film about the feedback loops likely to lead to catastrophic climate change, by Leo Murray.

It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture. It seems we are now dangerously close to the tipping point in the world's climate system; this is the point of no return, after which truly catastrophic changes become inevitable.

The script, with extensive peer-reviewed references and additional information and links, is available at wakeupfreakout.org.

Blimey, there's a lot of talent out there... In our competition to win Glastonbury tickets, we asked you to create images and videos about climate change, anything from how it makes you feel to what you're doing about it. Video entries had to be less than two minutes long but that was pretty much the only criterion we had.

If you like the animation we produced (with the glorious help of Will Flash For Cash), then you can easily send it to a friend - just click the envelope icon by the title of this blog entry.

It takes over a million years for nuclear waste to become safe, (a time span equivalent to the evolution of modern man). Yet one man is set to make a decision that will increase lethal waste levels threefold. Is this the sort of legacy Tony Blair wants to leave mankind? We think not.
