In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room and secured an interview. Thirty-eight years later, Levitan collaborated with director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina to create "I Met the Walrus," an animated short film using that original recording.

This spellbinding film, a vessel for Lennon's wit and timeless message, garnered critical acclaim. It was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won a 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches,' becoming the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

This visualization illustrates the rise in global temperatures from 1880 through the end of 2013. NASA scientists report that 2013 tied for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a significant long-term warming trend. Notably, with the exception of 1998, the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest.

The visualization displays a running five-year average global temperature, compared to a 1951-1980 baseline. A color-coded map shows surface temperature anomalies, with red indicating higher and blue indicating lower than normal temperatures.
