One of the featured artworks is “Cleveland, Ohio” by Maggie L.
Year and Medium: 2022, acrylic paint, gel pad print
'Cleveland, Ohio' is a printmaking triptych that depicts Godzilla attacking the Cleveland skyline; to its sides are UFOs picking up cows and planes flying around. Godzilla is a good example of humans' effects on the environment. I hope that when people see my art they look into Godzilla like I did: it shows how not just with nuclear, but also with things like oil and coal burning we negatively impact the environment in many ways.

One of the featured artworks is “Eutrophication” by Eric Tomberlin.
Year and Medium: 2007, photography, archival inkjet print
Built infrastructure aims to tame the forces of nature, but it can also be hugely disruptive. This image was made in downtown Austin, TX on the Colorado River. Standing water is a breeding ground for the mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus and for algae, which feed off agricultural fertilizer and cattle waste washed into the water supply.

One of the featured artworks is “Redrawing The Earth” by Ritika S.
Year and Medium: 2023, colored pencil
In my art, I try to convey that we can help reverse the effects of climate change. One hand is erasing the pollution caused by industrialization the world over, and the other is redrawing actions to restore the Earth’s beauty. I have always tried to help out the Earth, through stream clean ups and more. I hope people learn from my art that they can help change the world by just doing simple things like driving less, not littering, and maybe even setting up solar panels or wind turbines. The effects of climate change are only in our hands, so we should do whatever we can to help.

One of the featured artworks is “Last Camp on Isle Derniere, Louisiana” by Daniel Kariko.
Year and Medium: 2017, photography
Louisiana is experiencing the highest rate of coastal erosion in America. Major storms, including Katrina and Rita in 2005, and Ida in 2021, have drastically changed the geography of Louisiana’s coast. Many of South Louisiana’s communities, including Indigenous Americans, Cajuns, and Asian Americans are affected by loss of natural resources, economic impact, and direct loss of property. People of Louisiana are closely defined by the landscape they inhabit. Yet every year, small local communities gradually sink into the wetlands. This subject is a proverbial “canary in the mine” for issues that affect the entire planet.

One of the featured artworks is “Grinnell Mt. Gould Quadtych” by Diane Burko.
Year and Medium: 2009, oil on canvas
This work portrays Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana in four time periods between 1920 and 2006, with the glacier losing mass in each painting. The piece considers the marks that humanity leaves on the landscape, reflecting the impact of industrial and colonial activity on those same landscapes. While these paintings deal with impending climate catastrophe, rather than lingering in dystopia they celebrate the sublimity of the landscape by honoring the intricate geological and political webs that shape the identity of a place.

One of the featured artworks is “Imagining Climate Resiliency in the Pacific Northwest” by Claire Seaman.
Year and Medium: 2021, oil on canvas
This piece was commissioned by the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group. Developed in collaboration with scientists and tribal representatives, the work acknowledges the inevitable while highlighting how we can cultivate good. From the urban West Coast to the shrubsteppe of eastern Washington, resiliency looks different in every landscape. True resiliency is not bound within the realm of science; social justice is equally as vital to every solution. The piece aims to make climate resiliency concepts more accessible. After all, before any goal can be accomplished, it must first be envisioned.

One of the featured artworks is “Rim Fire Progression” by Adrien Segal.
Year and Medium: 2020, india ink and charcoal on paper
I created the Wildfire Progression Series sculptures and drawings using geographic data to reveal the shape of wildfires as they grew over time. Wildfire is both a necessary process for a healthy forest ecosystem and very destructive to human lives. I bring attention to the dissonant forces at play in wildland areas that have regularly burned throughout history, and are increasingly being developed by humans, whose presence in turn disrupts the wildland ecology.

One of the featured artworks is “Water Painting” by Ellen Blum.
Year and Medium: 2021, mixed media on watercolor paper
When the pandemic hit, pools closed, and I took up open-water swimming. I started to feel connected to nature in a new way and began a series about ‘mostly water,' and what it means to be human – and sentient. Aquatic environments have since been the focus of my practice. I think about how nature informs our lives as a species, as well as on a personal, soul level. I started using water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and harbors in my color washes, as a symbol of life, resiliency, and renewal.

One of the featured artworks is “Oak Forest, Eighteen Months After the Fire (triptych)” by Jenny Helbraun Abramson.
Year and Medium: 2022, digital photography
The 2017 Tubbs Fire traumatized my home community, Sonoma County, California, with the breathtaking speed of its spread. Dozens of lives were lost and more than 5,000 homes. Over the following three years, we experienced three more major wildfires. Once the burn areas reopened, I began to record the state of our beloved oak woodlands and my shock at what fire left behind. Recurrent disasters, including ongoing drought, record-breaking heat spells, and unusually heavy winter rains, have wrought a new sense of fragility and responsibility after our naivete was crushed.

One of the featured artworks is “Spruce Smoke” by Ree Nancarrow.
Year and Medium: 2012, quilted fiber
Fire is a critical factor influencing the ecology of the northern Boreal Forest. Wildfires remove the duff and soil layers that insulate permafrost, and as the permafrost melts it releases methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This quilt depicts a flashback of burning spruce trees inset into bare ground and dead trees smoldering after a fire.

One of the featured artworks is “0.64” by Cody Norton.
Year and Medium: 2020, construction grade sign, metal post
Artist statement: The Texas Blackland Prairies spans from North Texas to San Antonio. This ecosystem has been nearly destroyed by modern agriculture, urbanization of the land, and climate change, leaving less than 1% of the original ecosystem protected (some estimate only 0.64% remains). The current generation may be the last with the opportunity to preserve even small remnants of the once-extensive natural ecosystem. Unless action is taken, this essential prairie for the Central Texas region will be lost.

One of the featured artworks is “In the Eye of the Storm” by Simona Clausnitzer.
Year and Medium: 2020, linocut print
This piece illustrates the lived experiences of hurricanes, specifically Hurricane Maria. As the climate continues to change, catastrophic storms are expected to become more severe in the Caribbean region. Mirroring a local memorial, shoes follow the road to calmer places. The piece is a composite overlay of three linocuts depicting the storm itself, the infrastructural impacts, and the human impacts. It can be interpreted literally, as a hurricane and its numerous effects, or symbolically: watching ourselves twist in a storm system of inequities that caused Puerto Rico to be without power for as many as 328 days after Maria. The impacts are still being felt years later. As the eye of the storm, we witness all.

One of the featured artworks is “Ice-burst in a Ghostmarsh” by Tanya Beyer.
Year and Medium: 2022, watercolor
This artwork depicts the meltdown of traditional northern winters' icy streams and lakes. The sun rises, heat trapped by cloud cover. The river forms a flooding current, invading an abandoned building. Red-throated loons, normally migrants south from the Arctic, ride the current. Remnants of swamp trees, common in the boreal bogs of the Upper Midwest, pose themselves like goblins, totems of the past, part of the region's lingering character. I work in watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and ink, often taking weather into account to create a mood.

One of the featured artworks is “Coral Conundrum: Dead or Alive” by Constance Collins.
Year and Medium: 2023, handmade paper, upcycled warp yarn remnants
Coral reefs are being threatened globally from climate change, unsustainable fishing, and land-based pollution. This piece recalls coral reefs and their inhabitants. As reefs deteriorate, they lose their vibrant color and their ability to provide nutrients and shelter to thousands of marine species. Here, the gradation from color to monochrome represents the bleaching that occurs as coral dies. We need to protect these crucial ecosystems, or we lose them. I used upcycled remnant warp yarns for the coral clusters and created handmade paper.

One of the featured artworks is “FireStorm’23” by David Zeiset.
Year and Medium: 2022, digital rendering
This work aims to bring greater awareness to the strength and power of fire and its ability to influence the environment. This work was created after studying many media images of wildfires throughout the country and the world. It aims to capture the terror of wildfires, implant a memorable image in our minds, and give us an opportunity to have a meaningful relation to nature.

Since then, warm water has continued to build, setting the stage for the El Niño NOAA declared this June. If the atmosphere cooperates, these deep warm reserves can sustain El Niño's development. 🔗 www.climate.us/news-feature...

One of the featured artworks is “Reflecting Forward No. 12” by Jason Lindsey.
Year and Medium: 2019, photography
This project was inspired by my 13-year-old son who asked about climate change and what the world will look like in the future. I had only murky visions of that future myself and could not give him a clear answer. As a father, I hated that I could not provide much clarity for my son and knew I needed to explore this idea with a photography project. These portraits explore the uncertain futures of the next generation that will be struck the hardest by the impacts of climate change.

Public trust in climate information is hard-won, something we understand as former members of the Climate(.)gov team. For our launch, @katharinehayhoe.com shared why she believes Climate.us is worthy of that trust, and why she'll be sending people here for years to come. #ClimateUS #ClimateForUs 🌍🧪
For years, Climate.gov was where I sent people for accurate, trustworthy answers about climate, from what El Nino means for the region to how extreme heat is changing where they live. Every article made complex science accessible and transparent. At a moment when social science highlights public education as a key tipping point for climate action, Climate.us doesn't just carry that forward—it raises the bar. I know I'll be sending people there for years to come. -Katharine Hayhoe, Ph.D., Atmospheric Scientist, Horn Professor and Endowed Chair in Public Policy and Public Law at Texas Tech, co-founder of the Talking Climate Collaborative and author of the Talking Climate newsletter
