My previous work - about the disappearance and destruction of the natural world in East Africa- has only tangentially touched upon climate change, but with my next project, about climate change in America, I will be very much addressing it directly. Just look at how much just one 17-year-old Swedish girl has achieved in the space of one year. However, the irrational denial of man-made climate change in certain countries like America and Australia is so fervently ingrained among many, largely thanks to the shameless right-wing press, that I sometimes feel that our audience is made up of those who are already aware and converted.īut that should never ever stop us from doing everything we can to further raise awareness in whatever way we can. More and more of us are turning our very necessary urgent attention to showing the impact of climate change. Here are their personal and heartfelt answers as well as their astounding images to convey their message.Ī qualified yes. We asked renowned and committed photographers the same simple question:ĭo you think that photography can help raise awareness about Climate Change? But if facts and words don't curve their little trust in what they are told, can an image make a difference? Skepticism is a significant barrier to public engagement when we should all act as one. We believe that their work is key to help climate skeptics open their eyes and minds. Thanks to their dedication and courage, we can observe the effects of climate change on all four corners of the world. With these facts in mind, All About Photo has selected photographers who are documenting the consequences of climate change on our beautiful planet and its inhabitants. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.Īccording to the IPCC, the extent of climate change effects on individual regions will vary over time and with the ability of different societal and environmental systems to mitigate or adapt to change. Scientists agree that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. These effects are expected to intensify in the coming decades. Plants and animals will be in serious danger of extinction if the average temperature of the planet continues to rise uncontrollably. Some terrestrial, freshwater and marine species have already moved to new territories. Many plants and animal species are endangered. In some regions, extreme weather events and precipitation are becoming more frequent, while others are facing increasingly extreme heat waves and droughts. The polar ice caps are melting and the level of the oceans is rising.
Global climate change is evident and has noticeable effects on the environment.
