“… “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.
“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” …”
I can sit here all day and post little infographics on how best to reduce your waste, but I’m not practicing what I’m preaching if I’m not making serious changes to my diet.

“In 2022 you have got tens of thousands of peer-reviewed papers spelling out the climate science,”
said Larch Maxey, a veteran eco-campaigner. Authorities such as David Attenborough and David King, the former government chief science officer, were in agreement.
“When your house is on fire, you stop pouring petrol on the flames,” he said. “That’s basically the demand – no new licences. We are in a crisis. Let’s stop digging out new oil and gas.”
Part of a climate-related project in the run-up to COP26′s “Do the Green Thing’s The Colour of the Climate Crisis”.
Taking place at Glasgow’s Pipe Factory but existing as a permanent digital space, the exhibition brings together the work of 24 black creatives and creatives of colour.
The work explores climate injustice – the idea that black people, indigenous people and people of colour are most affected by the climate crisis (and sometimes least responsible for it).
Data visualisation artist Mona Chalabi, Pentagram partner Eddie Opara, and type designer Tré Seals have all contributed.
The Colour of the Climate Crisis is a project by Do The Green Thing, an environmental social initiative that uses creativity to combat the climate crisis. Come say hi.

Professor Ed Hawkins’ data visualisation, Warming Stripes!
It started at Hay Literary Festival. Professor Ed Hawkins was trying to find a way to communicate climate change to an audience that might not be able to interpret scientific graphics or data.
Those stripes — shades of red and blue representing hot and cold temperatures — chart temperature changes from 1850 to 2018, running from left to right. They look like a bar code, albeit a vibrant one with a serious message. Hawkins, a professor of climate science at the University of Reading, says that the impact was immediately obvious.
That data visualisation was based on local temperatures for the festival’s location in rural Wales. Since the 2018 festival, Hawkins has worked on a graphic for global temperatures. Most recently, it took centre stage at a very different festival: as the backdrop for Enter Shikari’s set at Reading.
On 21 June 2019, the summer solstice, he launched a website where users can view and download climate stripes for the cities they live in, from Vienna to Verona. So far there have been more than a million downloads.

The research, supported by the National Geographic Society and published today in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, estimates that atmospheric warming from all of these sources combined now appears to swamp the forest’s natural cooling effect.
The effect can still be combated and reversed through the halting of deforestation as well as rebuilding the destroyed ecosystems.
