CRYING

Baron warned the world in 1994.
Every word came true.

A Trinidadian calypsonian named Baron — Timothy Watkins — stood on the Dimanche Gras stage in 1994 and sang a prophecy about climate catastrophe. The world wasn't listening. Now, 30 years later, every lyric has been fulfilled.

Baron · Mother Earth Crying · Caribbean Climate Crisis

Two Voices. One Truth.

Thirty years apart. One from a Caribbean stage. One from a Swedish school. Both saying the same thing. The world must listen now.

The Prophet · 1994

Baron

Timothy Watkins · Trinidad & Tobago

Born in Trinidad & Tobago, Baron is one of the Caribbean's most celebrated calypsonians. In 1994, at the Dimanche Gras competition, he performed "Mother Earth Crying" — a song that predicted rising sea levels, ozone depletion, deforestation, species extinction, and famine with stunning accuracy. The world was not ready to listen.

"Mother Earth is crying, she's in pain. The ozone layer depleting, acid rain."
— Baron, 1994 · 30 years before the crisis
Greta Thunberg
The Amplifier · 2018

Greta Thunberg

Climate Activist · Sweden

Greta Thunberg began her school strike for climate in 2018 — 24 years after Baron's warning. She went on to lead 4 million people in the largest climate strike in history. Her message is the same as Baron's. The difference: the world finally listened. Now it's time to connect these two voices and give the Caribbean the credit it deserves.

"You say you love your children above all else, yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes."
— Greta Thunberg, UN Climate Action Summit, 2019
