Palm Tree on the Beach
This painting instead depicts the feeling of doom regarding what an otherwise peaceful scene on earth might look like if we continue to allow climate change to progress at its current pace.

Using the classic composition of a palm tree in the foreground and a peaceful setting sun over the ocean, this painting instead depicts the feeling of doom regarding what the same scene on earth might look like if we continue to allow climate change to progress at its current pace. Motifs drawn from Van Gogh’s Starry Night invoke associations with an imaginary village and turbulent night sky, implying a human hand in the state of the earth. By 2030, the world's annual emissions need to fall 42% in order to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — meaning a 129% increase in frequency of warm extremes over land, an addition of 271 million people exposed to water scarcity, an annual loss of 10.2 trillion USD from the damage cause by sea level rise, and a 20% increase of the suitability of drylands for malaria transmission.
