I posted this on the 2nd of January last year. In this last year we’ve had COP26 but nothing has really changed apart the level of CO2 in the atmosphere has continued to climb. Another year has passed in the decade where we must make significant reductions in the amount of fossil fuels that are burnt. We must all act now.

The marketing and advertising industries have been pushing the unsustainable dream life for those with enough money in their pockets and bank accounts for decades. Meanwhile countless numbers of 3rd world workers and their environment have been sacrificed to maintain this neoliberal drug fueled party for those 1st world party goers that are able to get into the club. Thankfully, some are waking up to the fact that the party has gone way too far and on for way too long. Hence some suitable rebellion like this climate change graffiti. Some in polite society may call this vandalism but when big money and fossil fuel corporations have been the neoliberal drug dealers supplying the party goers this is one of the only ways of fighting back.
The 2010 International Festival took place between the 16th and 25th of July and Les Machines de l’île, https://www.lesmachines-nantes.fr/en/, were part of it and were spectacular and well received. Apart from a few moaners complaining about the loss of parking spaces during the few days of the festival. It’s really clever engineering. Photo from 24th July 2010.
