Excuse this brief interlude to the Top Ten 2009 campaign, but I think it's important. I hope you do too.
It appears I spoke too soon in a previous post. The music industry has formed a united front in calling for a deal on emissions out of the Copenhagen Summit. I wish I could share their optimism that a meaningful deal can be struck in the next fortnight, but I guess I'm an old-fashioned cynic when it comes to international cooperation.
What the release does show, however, is a distinct commitment on the part of the music industry to reduce its impact. The 100 signatures on this release feature some influential names - a sure sign that there are people willing to bring us great music at a lower carbon price.
As fans, our commuting to and from gigs has the biggest climate impact of all (as proven by Best Foot Forward's analysis of Radiohead's 2007 tour). I think it's important to bear that in mind.
