    climate change

    There are many phenomenons in our changing environment that cannot securely be classified whether they are caused by human-made global warming or by climate change that happens naturally.

    So one of the safest possiblities to get the message of global warming across is to display one of the causers of climate change – in this case it is the industry and its emission of carbon dioxide.

    Industrial chimneys are probably the most impressive objects in that regard – here we can even see a very pleasing, almost romantic version of stacks.

    However it is not only the industry that is responsible for the world climate, it is also the trillions of cars that are run by indiviuals. Still very impressive pictures to show – especially if it takes place in an environment that seems to smell through your computer monitor. But fog is not necessarily a phenomenon that is primarily connected to global climate change but rather a local weather occurence. Here is a picture showing smog in London in the early Ninetees.

    There are other serious producers of carbon dioxide that can – similarly to cars and motorbikes – be found in all parts of the world. But yet those are not often to be found in connection to climate change as natural objects and global warming do not seem to go together well. At least it is hard to understand at first sight.

    Picturing Climate Change

    Sustainablity, climate change

    Some months ago I had the chance to design the key visual for the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum 2010. As the title “The Heat Is On – Climate Change and the Media” reveals, subject of the conference is our global environment which is heating up. Now as there are some problems in credibility recently (remember the hacked e-mails from a British University where scientist showed that they are ready to “tune up” statistics to keep the topic of climate change “hot” or the falling-down of climate star Al Gore’s respectability) it is even more important to picture the subject-matter in an objective manner. Let’s have a look on the approaches that exist to visualize climate change.

    Within the next I will typify different approaches to the subject.
