Bob Geldof er kjent for å si ting rett ut. En gang suksessrik rockeartist, senere verdenskjent for sitt brennende engasjement i Live Aid og en lang rekke andre aktiviteter for å få istand en anstendig behandling av de mest utsatte av alle grupper; de sultne i Afrika. Nå har han engasjert seg til fordel for å sette klimakrisen på dagsordenen. I juni holdt han en tale under reklamefilmfestivalen i Cannes. Her understreker han alvoret i situasjonen på sin sedvanlig direkte måte. Hele filmen finner du her på Canneslions. Hvis du vil høre bare Bob, har vi plukket ut den delen her på klimavalg:

"People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes." 
"Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around the world." 
"Global warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its danger or split into opposing factions on it."
"The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences."
"We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear.The global warming debate is over."
