For "Weathering Art" exhibition, I
will have these typed sheets available for purchase for $10 each. Opening is today, and I'll be there with lots of these typed sheets. All proceeds
go to the Climate Science Watch, which was founded by late Rick S. Piltz.
In
2011, I met Rick at the Blue Mountain Center, a residency program for artists,
writers, musicians and activists. Rick was a whistleblower on federal climate
policy and climate change advocate. He exposed the White House tampering
climate science. He was inspiring, genuine, courageous and just such a gentle
human being. One morning, I took a photo of him standing on the dock looking at
the lake contemplating. Sadly, Rick passed away on October
18th, 2014. He was 71.
“In the spring of
2005, Rick resigned from his position with the Coordination Office of the U.S. Global Change Research Program to
protest the Bush Administration’s political interference with climate change
communication. He did so at considerable personal cost and risk. His
departure also demonstrated a great level of integrity, authenticity
and commitment to the science community and the American public. He soon established
Climate Science Watch and over the last decade continued to be
a strong, independent and eloquent voice on climate science and
policy.” (Taken from Climate Science Watch website)
