Description


Although I fully support the goals of the climate change movement & do what I can in my personal life to live responsibly, I also have a counterbalancing distrust of any mass movement (no matter how noble the cause) & the whole promotional, advertising, merchandising & fundraising apparatus that springs up around it. And, inevitably, leaders rise to become spokemen & then power brokers for any mass movement. Then power struggles & greed distort the original purpose. At least that’s been our history so far. Or have we in the internet-connected, satellite/gps-connected, cellphone-connected world reached some critical mass of global consciousness that enables us to overcome such primitive urges? My optimistic side would like to think we can get there, but my cynical (& probably more realistic) side has serious doubts. And even if we have, what about the billions of other humans on the planet who don’t share in the technological bounty & are struggling daily for the basic necessities of life? Can an entire species be mobilized to act selflessly in order to ensure their survival? I don’t know the answers… As always, rendered in Bryce with no postwork...

Live Earth was total bust. I am glad people didn't fall prey to something that was clearly a publicity stunt and wasted more resources that it saved in all likelyhood. I have always been environmentally concious and know we are not doing right by mother earth. On the other hand, the global warming alarmists seem to be going to an extreme. We are in a long overdue climate shift that the earth has been through time and time again. She we conserve, stop deforestation, and do what we can to cut down on greenhouse gases? Absolutely, but it gets under my skin when politicians and celebs flying around in their private jets take the stance of conservation. Whew, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I hope we can get to the stage you speak of. Neat image -- I like the odd amorphous creature rising from the murk.

If you're looking for immediately tangible results, then I agree. Live Earth and Big Oil are alike in one respect: Their effects are gradual and cumulative. What they do now has consequences later. IMHO Anything that raises awareness or galvanizes opinion is a positive force for change. Can that really be called a "bust"? BTW I find the image quite enjoyable. Are they life forms from the future?

sorry but i agree with twopynts! and although i like a lot of the bands it seems a shame that they wheeled out all the oldies so they could get their faces back in the limelight once again, and withh all thhe traffic congestion to get everyone to the gigs must have completely destroyed whatever awareness they intended! and actually our wembly concert sucked!! only my opinion though as i am an old hippy living in the past and don't don't fly around in planes and helicopters just to go shopping unlike some now to your wonderful piece of art i say Bravo! you always in your work manage to inspire me with your stunning eye for colors! this is gorgeous!! in answer to last comment i agree a little but have to say BUST!!

Al Gore have houses that needs a lot of stuff he is against. G. Bush texas ranch is total on sun energy and his truck on the ranch is run on what the Earth people wish. So who are you going to follow. AL Gore who do not do what he say or G. Bush who say nothing but do the right thing to show us how to do it right. The news just do not report what Bush is doing. Love your image Oh all the planets is warming up; read it on the net.
