The problem I intend to discuss is the climate clock. The climate clock in New York City recently reached 5 years in July of 2024, meaning 5 years remain to act before the effects of climate change are irreversible. I decided to make the rainforest look healthy and vibrant in order to evoke emotion in the viewer, and make them realize what is at stake. The clock is what stands out in the image, everything else around it is green, creating contrast between the black and colored areas. I included species that are endangered, such as the Orangutan and Hyacinth Macaw. Jungles are important to talk about while looking for “solutions” to climate change, since they hold mass amounts of carbon from entering the atmosphere. Fires and deforestation are threatening the forests and species within them, so it is important that the people in charge act now.
