Someone dust off the crusty old hippy relics.

When’s the last time you saw people lining up on the street to watch a commercial? How about an hour-long commercial about climate change? That’s what happened Sunday night for the New York premiere of Disruption.

Billed as a documentary, the 52-minute film — now available for free online — is 350.org’s extended promotion for the upcoming People’s Climate March. The event, planned for Sept. 21 in Midtown Manhattan, is intended to be the biggest climate march ever, calling for immediate action on climate mitigation and justice. It’s timed to draw the attention of the world leaders who are coming to New York for the Sept. 23 U.N. Climate Summit. […]

It wouldn’t have been a left-wing protest event on a college campus without a few zany sideshows, of course. There were a handful of graying volunteers from the Revolutionary Communist Party handing out flyers urging attendance at the march as a means of fighting capitalism and imperialism. At the panel discussion after the film, Jean Gardner, a cowboy hat–clad professor at Parsons, the design school at The New School, exhorted the crowd to “listen to the Earth.” “We’re all compliant” with climate change, said Gardner. “We’re in an air-conditioned room … We [should] own our complicity … I heard the Earth saying that.”
