Rod Quantock says Bugger The Polar Bears, This Is Serious

Global Warming is at the front of everyone's mind and in every newspaper...isn't it? Or is it starting to loose it's buzz? The fact remains that Climate Change is going to continue to affect human existence and it's not going to go away by itself. We need change. Big change. And Rod Quantock is using his comic talent to re-awake people's awareness of the seriousness. As he says “If climate change doesn’t scare you shitless, then you just don’t get the science.”

Fortunately Rod does get the science. And when he gives you his take on the physics, chemistry, biology, geology, palaeontology, cosmology and meteorology of climate science you’ll get it too. And then… you’ll be scared shitless!

Rod, as always, has done his homework. He’s talked to leading climate scientists. He’s read the reports and watched the documentaries. He has taken the news stories big and small and joined the dots: worst fires, longest droughts, most devastating storms, mass extinctions, ice caps melting, polar bears drowning…

“I hate polar bears,” Rod said. “Why is climate change always about polar bears? Who’s their agent? It’s not like they’re the only ones who’ll be extinct. Chances are we will all be extinct!

“Victoria will be a smouldering, waterless wasteland. No more Boxing Day Test or Spring Racing Carnival. Further north monsoons, disease, storms and sea level rise will devastate coastlines and that AFL team on the Gold Coast will be exposed as the short-sighted folly it always was,” Rod said.

If we continue to fiddle at the emissions fringe optimists predict only two billion people will left by the end of the century, down from a peak of nine billion in 2050. That’s 7,000,000,000 people gone in 50 years!

If you don’t want to be one of them then it’s time to take climate sides! And if you don’t know what side to be on you owe it to yourself to see Bugger the polar bears, this is serious - arguably the most important show in what’s left of human history.

Rod blends comedy with the facts (he fill 3 blackboards with very important data) and is a must see. He is also talking to schools and other groups so if you are in a position to get Rod to talk to your group, don't miss out!

HDC Global Community - Andre Smith in South Africa

South Africa has a diverse history when it comes to the legal and social status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as a result of traditional South African mores, western imperialism, Apartheid and the human rights movement that contributed to the down fall of apartheid. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution was the first in the world to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, and on 1 December 2006 South Africa made history by becoming the fifth country in the world and first in Africa to legalise same-sex marriage. One year later an equal age of consent was achieved; after long and lengthy debate and a complete overhaul of sexual offences legislation, consent was gender-neutralized at 16.

To find out more about gay life in South Africa we chatted with the gorgeous and charming Andre Smith (pictured). Click here to listen to the interview.

Dj Havana Brown - Australia's Master Mixtress

In an increasingly male-dominated industry, Melbourne's very own Havana Brown is not only conquering the mixing scene here in Australia, but is developing quite a name on the International scene as the Master Mixtress.

Having just returned from Europe after touring with Britney Speares on her Circus Tour, Havana is no stranger to supporting big names. The last 12 months have seen Havana featuring in some of the biggest concerts in 2008-09 such as Chris Brown and Rhianna, The Pussycat Dolls and Lady Gaga, not to mention being signed to Universal Music.

Already onto her second compilation of "Crave Vol.2," Brown came into the JOY studios relaxed, and was surprisingly a great morning person for a Disc Jockey! Her 3 disc compilation of RnB/Hip Hop tunes showcases the best aspects, artists and tunes that epitomize the genre. Crave Vol. 2 features club thumpers from Timbaland and Kelly Rowland, soulful sounds of Alicia Keys and the old skool classics of Montell Jordan and Mary J Blidge.

To celebrate the release of Havana Brown's "Crave Vol.2," - The Hump Day Crew and Brown's manager Vince concocted a list of foods Havana craves herself. These were:

• Twix
• Tim Tams
• Kit Kat
• Natural Confectionary Lollies
• Green apples with salt
• McDonald's Cheeseburgers
• Hungry Jacks Whoopers
• Bolognese
• Chilli
  
  Using these foods, The Hump Day Crew wanted to make a special mix for Havana....and make her eat them...with her eyes closed.
  
  After joining The Hump Day Crew in the studios, it is clear Havana Brown is one brave chick!
  

Havana Brown joined The Hump Day Crew and spoke of the amazing 12 months she has had being signed to Universal, touring with some of the worlds most sought after acts and takes on The Hump Day Crew's 101 questions - Download podcast here
