The Keeliing Curve graph shows 500,000 years of CO2 measurements, that have only ever reached 200 ppm in the coldest years, to 300 ppm in the hotest eons. Now the Co2 has exceeded 400 ppm.

Methane Mean
2024, Cyanotype on various cotton calicos
22″ × 22″
The most potent green house gas is methane, getting and staying the hottest, though it has.a shorter duration in the environment. Still, the methane heat is pushing up the temperatures. Much of the methane in the atmosphere comes from human putrification, the garbage and foods we throw out, decomposing in landfills without oxygen and soil microbes, produces about 19% of the methane in the atmosphere.

So many redwoods have been cut down for building around the world, ships, and front decks. So now we have furniture. The desire to make money has cut down most of the trees.

Working with images about the environment, the hockey stick shape graph, documenting carbon dioxide greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, is the most impressive and shocking image. As our population surges with our consumption of resources, the situation is unhealthy. The dancing line is like a heartbeat. There are ups and downs, but the recent rise is so enormous that I want to underline it for all eyes.
Change is possible, but it requires brave leaders, to enact a price on pollution. We are not going to change the trajectory of climate warming without laws so everyone takes responsibility together.
In the Drink

Keeling Pacific, 2022
2022, Cyanotype on cotton, embroidery thread
The black graph includes 750,000 years of CO2 measurements from ice core samples, which while including various periods of glaciations and warming cycles, had never gone over 300 ppm.
In 1950 the measurement first exceeded 300 ppm CO2, and is now in 2022, over 417.

Growth (Keeling Curve)
2021, Inkjet transfers, embroidery, on cotton
The Keeling Curve Measures carbon ppm (parts per million) collected from the top of Mauna Loa after 1958, and from ice core samples before 1958.

Vibrios/Sea Levels
2021, Plastic Fabrics (Hdpe, pva..) Inkjet transfers, embroidery, on cotton
Vibrios is the bacteria that are slowly helping to break down plastic in the ocean. The bacteria is name is Vibrios, and it is in the Cholera Family. There is evidence that plastic in the ocean makes coral sicker – the off gasing or the bacteria? Fabrics come from a fabric sampler of polyesters.
