Greta Thunberg and Dr. Brian May collaborating,

according to his latest post on Instagram.

To those who don't know, he is a world renowned scientist and a serious advocate of human and animal life on the planet... as well the lead guitarist of Queen.

He has money and resources and above all, name recognition, to help them both to achieve their goals.

Oops... just killed a mosquito while writing this...

(So Sorry, Brian! I’m on the bandwagon, but he was biting me!!!)

Anyway, I’m thrilled whenever two of my heroes get together!

Anyone who can bring expertise and star power to this fight brings movement in the right direction to save our planet. Thanks for sharing.

He sounded so excited about the possibilities.
He is a bit Nutty Professor, but so determined to fight for this planet, and he does it with more than just money. Next week in Australia, Queen is on stage to make money for fire relief.

with a little help from Heavenly sources...

Hey, if Freddie helped Rami get on an Oscar (cute movie, but seriously?)... I’m certain that he would give Greta a hand!

We are at a very critical point when it comes to seriously take on this existential threat.

I was part of the problem, clueless to oil, coal, plastic, all the others. I can’t change it but besides recycling and speaking out, I can advertise others who can advocate change in bigger ways.

Sorry to be a bore.

You’re not boring. Americans were intentionally lied to and deceived for decades in the name of corporate profits so we can forgive ourselves for not doing more sooner. The good news is we can start today, doing what we can, to shift direction.
