It is half obvious, half unexplained.

what I hoped to convey in this work is
realising how little we are....

 

[fedetony]

Climate changes all the time.. is part of nature, Like yesterday it was raining and today is sunny ... Greta is just the face to push some more taxes and restrictions to people by making preposterous claims as we made the rainy day, or the volcano exploding, or the poles melt or the ozone hole... she does not even deserve a place on one of your paintings

 

[Dave Woody]

Changed it....decluttered, I painted over and added just the YouTube
logo top left in reference to it being streamed live.

Fedetony...she is documented as a symbol of how small we are.

 

[fedetony]

sorry but I'm not small, I am an infinite and eternal being... I have a soul.. and you should not believe you are any less of that too...

 

[Dave Woody]

mate, I agree with you, this is just a comment on human perception.

Seriously? I think it´s really interesting that there are people in the face of massive evidence still compare the global heating and the huge problems it is already causing to the occasional rain shower.
Do you really not understand the difference between the terms "weather" and "climate"?
The only way to keep this kind of irrational believe up is completely dismissing science and the scientific method. Quite seldom seen in the society I live in, but I understand shockingly common in the US (correct me if I´m wrong).

 

[Dave Woody]

Surely the meaning comes across though?
Humans really don't wield impact on the planet as much as the planet itself can?

The meaning comes across loud and clear, good stuff

Lets ask NASA, they will for sure tell us the "facts" ... is exactly the non believe on their science faith why I question, besides other things, the climate change... probably you have been well adoctrinated in your society... massive evidence, please show me one well documented and referenced..

Let's stay on point

...and so, it seems then that, this picture works for you?

ok I needed some context for this, and yeah it's funny

The Salty Cee | Greta Thunberg rebukes White Island Volcano

The White Island volcano eruption in New Zealand has seen Greta Thunberg charter a sailboat to travel there to face down this pollutant.

I can't seem to find if it really happened though. If it is real it would be even funnier.

Humans may not impact the earth's crust or overall surface area like a volcano does, but they most certainly can and do impact other things like the air and water and other essentials of life. That's why wastewater treatment plants are so important, after all. Why doesn't the air we breathe get the same consideration? We may not be able to control acts of God, but we can control acts of Man.

Also, I've always understood climate change legislation to be anti-pollution legislation, and who can be against that? Litterbugs are disgusting. Maybe if they called it that, it would make more sense.

@Dave Woody, I owe you an apology. At first glance, I thought your second image was an accidental repost, but @Artyczar just told me it was a reworking. Mea culpa.

 

[Hannah]

Greetings fellow humans!

Something like climate change should be a benign subject, but unfortunately, it is not. Please resist the urge to post things that will inevitably turn political (as this is poised to do any minute now).

The only way to keep any semblance of peace and unity is to not go there. You know where there is.

Stay positive!

If you just can't help talking about divisive issues, I'm pretty sure that's what Facebook was made for. Go feed their algorithms. They love that stuff. Here, not so much.

Thank you, and goodnight!

 

[Dave Woody]

My reworked image seems to have been lost.

 

[Dave Woody]

Sorry. I didn't plan a divisive discussion

 

[Artyczar]

Dave, if you read above, Hannah accidentally deleted the image. Glad you put it back!
