Rising to the challenge of the climate crisis should be the greatest adventure of our age for everyone around the globe.. not blocked by divisive politics, wars and the entitled greed of the one percent. A rallying effort of people who want to become better stewards of the planet must work. Otherwise the truth is irrefutable, the planet will experience the Sixth Mass Extinction.

Human beings have existed for just 200,000 years, yet our impact on the planet is so great that scientists around the world are calling for our period in the Earth's history to be named the 'Anthropocene' – the age of humans. The lifestyle of the naked ape is the root cause and some may be surprised that it started with industrial agriculture. Removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere will require nothing short of a world-wide mobilization similar to one of the great wars - or a miracle of scientific innovation. The political leadership must envision a future well beyond their typical four year mandate to get something accomplished.

Art is a form of communication. Much of my art is devoted to education trying to reach beyond the beauty of nature. Meteorology and the interactions of nature is the foundation of much of that. This painting has been on my easel since early July… The painting is thick with oils and the background stories of wildfires on the west coast and throughout the Boreal forest. It is a tragic story and very dark for me.
For this and much more art, click on Pixels. Thank you.
