This music video makes use of archival footage (drawn from various public domain videos up at this site) in an effort to link environmental degredation (deforestation etc.) to various forms of geo-political insanity - in particular the development of atomic and nuclear weapons in the 20th century. The song 'Cosmic Suicide' was written by myself in 1998 at the height of the Ozone Depletion crisis but is just as relevant today in terms ofrecent international inaction on climate change (as well as other environmental issues). Instead of anger the piece expresses sadness and despair at the inability of humanity to correct even the most obvious issues confronting us (and the rest of the planet) as human populations sky-rocket and the life support systems of the planet gradually collapses. The economic 'growth at any price' ideology of the 20th century is the driving force behind the gathering crisis.
