What’s holding you back?

The Artdog Quote-Pairing of the Week While we’re creating our future, why not take pains to create the best one possible? Who would choose more and worse asthma and allergies? We still can do many things to mitigate the effects of climate change. What’s holding you back? I kicked off last month with a video about climate change refugees. It featured a call to proactive action. This month, I’m pairing quotes about being proactive in one’s life with quotes about climate change. It’s not too late to mitigate…

The moment is now

The Artdog Quote-Pairing of the Week When must we do something about climate change? The moment is now. I kicked off last month with a video about climate change refugees. It featured a call to proactive action. This month, I’m pairing quotes about being proactive in one’s life with quotes about climate change. It’s not too late to mitigate the effects–but the moment is now. IMAGE CREDITS: Many thanks to Hal Elrod for the quote about taking responsibility, and to Tunza Eco-Generation for the quote…

Return on investment?

The Artdog Quote of the Week: Two contrasting thoughts on investing in our future, while it’s still April: Might note that 2014 went on to be the third-hottest year on record (so far), after The Donald tweeted this pearl of perspicacity.

I also am grateful to…

Into the storm

The Artdog Images of Interest Three major signals of climate change’s onset are increased rates and ferocity of fires, deepening drought, and increasingly violent storms. Today’s image focuses on storms. First, a little “storm porn,” because dramatic, high-contrast clouds plus lightning and panoramic skies make for jaw-dropping storm photos. Here’s a mini-portfolio from American storm-chaser Mike Mezeul II: Thunderstorm outside Cheyenne, WY by Mike Mezeul II Thunderstorm over Big Spring TX – Mike Mezeul II Thunderstorm with internal lightning over…

Water stress

Water stress

The Artdog Images of Interest Three major signals of climate change’s onset are increased rates and ferocity of fires, deepening drought, and increasingly violent storms. Today’s image focuses on drought. A woman in India still can get a little water from her well, but she’s one of 300 million affected in the country during 2016. As my Images of Interest series in February emphasized, the United Nations has identified access to safe, clean, affordable drinking water as a basic human…

Fires gone wild

Fires gone wild

The Artdog Images of Interest Three major signals of climate change’s onset are increased rates and ferocity of fires, deepening drought, and increasingly violent storms. Today’s image focuses on fire. Firefighters worked for days to control wildfires around Mecklenberg County, NC in November 2016. I hope this photographer didn’t get singed, taking this behind-the-burning brush photo! Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate a photographer’s credit. This North Carolina fire was only one of hundreds (it’s surprising, how difficult it seemed to be,…
