“…Carbon dioxide increased gradually until 1900, when greenhouse gases and global temperatures began to skyrocket, as shown in Michael Mann's "hockey stick" graph included with the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) summary for policymakers (Appell, 2005). Fast forward to the summer of 2012, by which time half of the Arctic sea ice had vanished.…”

“…The image became something of a synecdoche for the increasingly politicized nature of climate change science. The magazine Scientific American claimed ‘take down Mann [via the disputed image], it seemed, and the rest of the IPCC's conclusions about anthropogenic climate change would follow’ . :34 Controversy has also followed other ostensibly ‘scientific’ images, such as Al Gore's graphic representation of carbon dioxide emissions, and of the IPCC's ‘burning embers’ diagram …”

Many actors-including scientists, journalists, artists, and campaigning organizations-create visualizations of climate change. In doing so, they evoke climate change in particular ways, and make the issue meaningful in everyday discourse. While a diversity of climate change imagery exists, particular types of climate imagery appear to have gained dominance, promoting particular ways of knowing about climate change (and marginalizing others). This imagery, and public engagement with this imagery, helps to shape the cultural politics of climate change in important ways. This article critically reviews the nascent research area of the visual representations of climate change, and public engagement with visual imagery. It synthesizes a diverse body of research to explore visual representations and engagement across the news media, NGO communications, advertising, and marketing, climate science, art, and virtual reality systems. The discussion brings together three themes which occur throughout the review: time, truth, and power. The article concludes by suggesting fruitful directions for future research in the visual communication of climate change.

“…Response 2: Return GHG level in the atmosphere to that before anthropogenic interference. Not only stabilisation of, but also reduction from, the current GHG content of the atmosphere is preferable because reaching the present level has already committed the Earth from 50 to 100 years of warming and several centuries of sea-level rise [53]. To go further and restore atmosphere to long-term background (pre-industrial) level requires CO 2 capture from the air [54].…”
