In 1988 “Beds Are Burning”, Midnight Oil’s infectious rocker, brought the issue of reparations for indigenous peoples to the global spotlight, and now Time For Climate Justice has gathered musicians and movie stars to transform the song into an anthem that demands action for the upcoming climate conference in Copenhagen.
While there may be fewer immediately recognizable celebrities than “We Are The World”, the new version of the song nonetheless captures a foot stomping immediacy that will hopefully invigorate people young and old to get involved with combating climate change. The video is pretty flashy too, so that always helps, check it out:Â
