I have been struggling to maintain content so I am in the midst of considering a pivot. As one of my earlier blog posts pointed out, one of the gaps that I was thinking was the lack of an artistic perspective on climate change and a lack of engaging the artistic, creative human mind to imagine a future which is not apocalyptic but is positive (and not techno-optimistic) and realistic. Of course, since then I am coming across lots of artists of all types who are creating work and challenging this viewpoint and trying to address the cultural gap that is there.
To that end, I may be pivoting this blog to start highlighting all of the various efforts to use the creative and not necessarily just artistic brain to highlight the challenges and potential solutions to humanity in a world with the almost inevitability associated with climate change.

While we are at it, here is a comic from XKCD with their own take of a weather forecast from the future!
