  • This was the final public message recorded by the late Sir Arthur C Clarke, which closed the global launch of the International Year of Planet Earth, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on 13 February 2008. In his unique style, Sir Arthur connects the local with global, and traces the influence of space exploration on the global environmental movement. He ends calling for humanity to listen to the planet's distress call, and respond with knowledge, understanding and imagination.

    I read all his books. He was truely a great man. He really impacted my life and I owe my career to him for the motivation his books gave me. RIP Arthur.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Clarke. I am hoping beyond all hope we as a people will indeed heed our planet's call.

    "The International Year of Planet Earth is being observed as a crucial junction in our relationship to the planet. There are now clear signs that our growing numbers, and our many activities, are impacting the earth's natural systems, causing planetary stress (1:22)." The great man saw it. We ignore him at our peril.
