Culture of Climate Change is dedicated to making visible the impacts of climate change within the past decades. Part of our working assumption is that generally when people think about the impact of climate change (that is, if they think about it at all) they think of it as something that will happen in the future — maybe during the lifetime of their children or grandchildren.
Climate Change is happening now; its impacts are wide spread if not generally visible. This site, Culture of Climate change, focuses on the impacts of climate change policies and programs.
Writing for Salon.com, Peter Dizikes interviewed Gavin Schmidt and Joshua Wolf, the authors of “Climate Change: Picturing the Science,” on how and why climate change has been invisible. Dizikes review follows the format of Laura Shin’s review of the same for the NY Times blog Green Inc. Schmidt, a climatologist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, along with other scientists present the images (by photographer Joshua Wolf) in this book in reference to climate change science. Climate Change: Picturing the Science is published by Norton.
