Picturing Climate Change

December 10, 2009 6:54 PM

Ahead of the global climate talks, nine photographers from the photo agency NOOR photographed climate stories from around the world. Their goal: to document some of the causes and consequences, from deforestation to changing sea levels, as well as the people whose lives and jobs are part of that carbon culture.

The NOOR site is also comprehensive, and has more about the agency. Some really great work in all the slideshows.

All photoshops, I'm sure.

Everyone knows there is a slight possibility that global warming is fake. and that means for sure it is fake and we should definitely do nothing.

After all, if there's a 1% that something bad might not happen, the best thing to do is not waste any energy worrying about the other 99% and just relax.
