Global Warming Artwork

Discussion on Climate Change:
Part of Cordal’s series "Follow the Leaders" is a street art installation entitled "Politicians Discussing Global Warming" which represents the gathering of the politicians in power discussing the problems of global warming. Famous for tackling big political issues through a tiny medium, Isaac shows that the problem is getting more serious and the catastrophe more inevitable while the politicians are just debating about it. In the other project, Waiting for Climate Change, the artist also put emphasis on problems of climate changes. He created a set of ephemeral and partially submerged installations to draw attention to rising sea level change. Laced with black humor, the apocalyptic scenes show the results of indifference to environmental issues. The theme of rising floodwaters and drowning are repeated throughout his work referencing climate change as well as the state of our sinking society.





Banksy


Banksy spray-painted the words "I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING" in red capitals on a wall beside Regent's canal in Camden, north London, with the words ironically disappearing below the water; commenting on the rising sea levels due to climate change. The failure to agree a legally binding treaty in Copenhagen has apparently provided inspiration for this work by Banksy.
