Dry is a book about a somewhat post-apocalyptic world in which a long-standing drought becomes a climate emergency when the water runs out. The story highlights the desperation and chaos that humanity might resort to following the loss of resources that we depend on for survival. Though it leans on the side of science fiction/speculative fiction, there are some very relevant and real connections to real life in our current moment, as well as legitimate commentary on human nature and our responses to adversity and emergency.

Don't Look Up is a movie about two astronomers who must go on a media tour to attempt to warn the world about a meteor that is hurtling towards the Earth, large enough to destroy all life as we know it. The movie is a commentary on the tendencies we have to ignore the changes to Earth's climate and the increasingly common natural disasters that it has caused in order to carry on with ordinary life until it is too late. The movie also comments on the media's desire to sensationalize without doing anything about the issues it covers.

The day after tomorrow is a movie about Jack Hall, a paleo-climatologist who notices a weather change related to the advent of the second ice age --a weather change that is about to happen in modern times as Carbon Dioxide rates continue to harm the atmosphere. Following a series of major weather disasters, the world enters a new ice age, and Jack, in Washington D.C. is separated from his son in New York City. Determined to get to him before weather turns from worse to worst, Jack must do whatever he can to save his son from a climate that only he really understands. The movie is another commentary on the way that society stalls its response to climate change, as well as the extremes in climate that our habits and lifestyles may be causing.

"all the good girls go to hell" (2019) by Billie Eilish

# data[].attributes.body
Eilish's song from her debut album "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?" addresses climate change in a very subtle and poignant way, insinuating that the rising heat from global warming is like the heat from hell boiling over, and pointing out that we as humans have brought this fate onto ourselves. She illustrates her somewhat abstract ideas in her music video, in which she is dressed as a fallen angel dressed in all black as she dances while the street burns behind her. Essentially, the song is calling out her listeners for being able to see climate change and global warming but most do not do anything about it.

This classic is about the way that mass production and corporations will ruin natural spaces and tear down greenery to make money. It's beautiful, it's acoustic, it's the lovely Joni Mitchell. The lyrics are very clearly about the environment, but the title focuses more on the destruction of nature and corporate greed more than other titles in this linked text set, which have a heavier focus on the aspects of climate justice such as global warming and depletion of resources.

Nor Tijan Firdaus is a Malaysian artist who uses discarded electronics to create this portrait. She seeks to highlight issues of materialism and over-consumption through the use of nontraditional mixed media in a visually interesting way. The picture itself is a portrait of a young child who assembles such products in assembly lines which force slave-like conditions onto innocent and naive children, a very powerful image. This visual interprets the issue of climate change through a lens of social inequality, reminding the viewer that though climate change affects all, those in places of lower socioeconomic status and higher poverty feel its effects the most.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Caring deeply for Mother Earth, it was certainly apt for the young artist to utilise e-waste for her art as she effectively connects with her audience in the contemporary society of today where one is so reliant on our technological gadgets. Exhibiting an alternative use of e-waste, Nor Tijan utilises a wide range of discarded electronic components ranging from resistors to transistors to capacitors and inductors amongst others to creatively fashion her latest works. Concerned for her audience and collectors, it has to be noted that Nor Tijan attends to the cleaning of such discarded e-waste prior to usage. Almost never free from bruises and minor cuts, the young artist meticulously selects and cleans these electronic components to be free from toxin and to ensure the preservation of the artwork may be maintained.

This song discusses climate change and the ways that it is largely ignored by those in charge as we continue to worsen and worsen the problem. He uses direct language as well as an extended metaphor about sailing on the ocean to touch on the continued issues of climate change. But Sir Paul definitely has enough money, so I wonder why he doesn't put more of it towards funding efforts to mend climate change.

Eliasson imported 30 large blocks of glacial ice to the urban exhibit in London in the courtyard in front of Tate Modern and Bloomberg Headquarters. The piece aims to reignite a passion and connection to our planet and it's diminishing glaciers by bringing the ice to their front doors. Viewers are encouraged to hug, touch, and interact with the ice and remember that such majestic natural phenomena are real and are dying as a result of our actions.

Eliasson and Minik Rosing installed 'Ice Watch' in City Hall Square, Copenhagen, from 26 to 29 October 2014 to mark the publication of the UN IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report on Climate Change. Twelve large blocks of ice that had calved from the Greenlandic ice sheet were harvested from a fjord outside Nuuk and brought to the centre of Copenhagen.

After successfully protecting the planet for three years, something is starting to go wrong. Two estranged brothers are tasked with solving the program's malfunction before a world wide Geostorm can engulf the planet.

The world has been destroyed by global warming, and Indigenous First Nation people are being hunted for their bone marrow, which contains a rare and powerful trait: the ability to dream. Frenchie and his band of companions must fight for survival as they make their way to a place of asylum in the old lands up north. The novel highlights the ways that western civilization is ruining the world through over-consumption and materialization, as well as the way that it has historically disenfranchised Indigenous people and destroyed their ancestral land. (There's a deeper history to that as well, in which native people were forced to work in mines and other dangerous environments in the west, forced to be exposed to radiation in their communities when the reservation land they were pushed onto were used as nuclear weapon testing sites during the cold war and probably still today. This is not talked about enough).
