The latest National Geographic asks:
Can art help raise awareness about climate change?
“Considering this unprecedented worst-case – but potentially realistic – scenario, how could we better raise awareness with optimism or even with poetry? How could we materialize this difference of 1 or 2°C to mobilise people to take action? How can we imagine a more sustainable world for terrestrial species?”
This is the challenge Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno accepted.

In fact there’s a lot of ‘climate art’ appearing:
