In a happy coincidence, the poem - “Global Warning” – is premiering on Montana Poetry Day.

Rhys Darby is one of a range of high profile ambassadors for Greenpeace’s Sign On campaign, which is calling for the Government to commit to a 40 per cent emission reduction target by 2020.

So far over 76,000 people have Signed On. Go to www.signon.org.nz for more information.
