The Earth Commons has installed a selection of these digital paintings throughout the campus. Each piece is derived from a chart, graph, map, word, or number relating to key facts or data about climate change. The art is designed to function as a gateway to the science, focusing interest and awareness on the various factors that have contributed to our warming planet over the last two hundred years.
