This Is What Politicians Debating Global Warming Could Soon Look Like
Back in 2022, Isaac Cordal, a Spanish street artist, created an installation about politicians debating global warming. The image has been doing rounds of the internet ever since. Sea levels are shooting higher than ever and the global temperature is keeping it company. It is estimated that by the end of this century, our current sea levels will rise up to 3 feet!
And a recent clock put up in New York reminds us we have just 7 years to fix our climate. Otherwise, our emissions levels will reach such heights that it will increase the earth’s temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius. That was the target of the Paris Agreement, and the goal seems improbable with each passing day.
CORDAL’S POLITICIANS DEBATING GLOBAL WARMING SCULPTURE
This particular sculpture of Cordal is named “electoral campaign” and is a part of the bigger installation named “Follow the Leaders”. It was installed in Berlin, Germany. The faceless men are the politicians and businessmen who control the capitalist world. It is mostly the greed of capitalism that has led us to this global climate change. And Cordal has commented, “These pieces reflect our own decline. We live immersed in the collapse of a system that needs change.”
Cordal works on many such sculptures to install then in public spaces throughout Europe. He documents their installation and you can find more of his works here.
