Description
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 green house 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.

So timely a message Phil...too much is coming unraveled by set interests and greed. Between the many worldwide forest fires, drought (climate change), enormous decline in the world bird populations since mid 20th century and a "real" (personally witnessing just the past decade) invertebrate apocalypse - things are pretty dire, and I can't seem to find many folks who are paying any attention!!! But lets not give up! Thank you!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thank you Bruce. We share many things. I read a lot of non-fiction and the facts are pretty clear. Industrial agriculture is a concern as well.. but we need leadership and that is lacking. Paint on my friend!

This is such a powerful statement, Phil Chadwick...very inspiring and your description is perfect. Yes! We can be good stewards and peacemakers. L/F
Phil Chadwick replied:
We need to be better stewards for sure. The family farms of our grandparents were the sustainable solution but there is much more that we can do as well by using solar. We live by the sun here in Singleton with a tiny footprint so that we are part of nature...
