Jamaican reggae artist Minna LaFortune has released a powerful new single, “Global Warming,” which speaks directly to the urgent need for climate action. Drawing inspiration from the devastating hurricanes, wildfires, and extreme heatwaves of recent years, Minna’s song is a call to action as well as a personal reflection.
With the backdrop of natural disasters that have impacted her home state of New York and the wider Caribbean, the song aims to raise awareness about the growing climate crisis—and the impact it’s having on communities around the world. The single was inspired by hurricanes Beryl, Helene, and Milton, which caused significant destruction in the Caribbean and southern USA.
With a mix of bold lyrics and lively reggae rhythms, “Global Warming” offers a heartfelt plea for global awareness and immediate collective action. “We have to change our ways in time, we must not ignore the signs,” Minna sings, urging listeners to recognize the increasingly frequent natural disasters, including rising sea levels, floods, wildfires, and heatwaves. The track serves as a reminder that if we don’t act now, the planet we call home could face irreparable harm.
In addition to the song’s release, Minna is preparing a visually striking music video that will capture both the beauty of the planet and the devastation wrought by climate change. The video will feature footage of natural disasters, environmental degradation, and people coming together to protect the Earth leaving a hopeful message.
Minna LaFortune, known for her socially conscious lyrics, has always used her platform to address pressing issues like climate change, social justice, and unity. With “Global Warming,” she continues her mission to inspire positive change through music.
