The water is rising

This is a really simple dramatisation of a very complex issue...

The High Water Line is an art project with a purpose. As the website says...

"High Water Line is a public artwork on the New York city waterfront designed to create an immediate visual and local understanding of the affects of climate change. I will be marking the 10-feet above sea level line by drawing a blue chalk line and installing illuminated beacons in parks. This line marks the extent of increased flooding brought on by stronger and more frequent storms as a result of climate change. During the summer of 2007, I will be walking, chalking and marking almost 70 miles of coastline. As I am out in the public creating the work, I will have a chance to engage in conversations about climate change and its potential impacts. Through awareness and action, we can change the future."

Thanks to Diablogue for pointing it out.
