The brilliant comics artist G.R. Mantard and I have collaborated to create a new comic on climate change. To mark the crucial UN climate summit in Copenhagen, we have published the comic online with free access to all at this link –

‘I saw a movie, and the world collapsed’ tells G.R. Mantard’s own story of how he was inspired by climate change film Age of Stupid to calculate his carbon footprint and learn how to reduce it.

The story personally engages with the reader to communicate the science, the policy and the personal dilemmas. It climaxes by showing how low-carbon living is positive and enjoyable, and urges the reader to take action at personal, community and political level.

We want to communicate our message to as many people as we can this December. So if you enjoy the comic, please forward it to everyone you know!

The comic lists the CRAGs website in its further reading notes, and I’ll be telling everyone about the comic and CRAGs when I hit COP15 this week.
