Description:
Scientists and the news cover the global phenomena of climate change and yet people still deny the existence of such an occurrence. I shot this in the California Sierra mountains, where due to climate change, wildfires are an annual phenomenon to the point where locals will say there are only two seasons of the year now, winter is ski season and the summer fire season. This 2020 winter is the driest on record and the fire season is coming. I wanted to show how we are surrounded by global warming and yet people keep denying it is happening. The newspaper is catching on fire in my friend’s hands to show how we all need to wake up and become active so that we can change what is happening. This shot was taken in an area that recently burned.
