In a guest blog for the Guardian, perennially tortured Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke lays out his somewhat surprising feelings of optimism regarding global climate change:

These changes might be small, but they are in the right direction. Unlike pessimists such as James Lovelock, I don’t believe we are all doomed. It was good to hear Sir David King recently saying he was an optimist and human behaviour is changing. As I heard George Monbiot saying not long ago, isn’t it funny how in the space of a year we went from listening to sceptics who denied this was happening to suddenly saying we’re all doomed - how interesting that both scenarios demand that we do nothing. That can’t be right. You should never give up hope.

Thom Yorke as the voice of hope? What is the world coming to?
