Harper’s
Bazaar, a haute couture fashion magazine, is spoofed with this faux
cover showing anticipated fashions five years into the polluted future. Unfortunately, the warning wasn’t
heeded, and the situation is worse now than ever imagined forty years ago.
As the polar ice caps melt faster than predicted, storms are more
severe, and droughts are breaking records, there is still inaction and even
denial about climate change. In
the aftermath of failed climate-change legislation last year, the Keystone XL
Pipeline has become a lightning rod for the U.S environmental movement.
Last Sunday, February 17, tens of thousands of people demonstrated
in Washington D.C.—the largest
climate rally in history—to protest the Keystone XL Pipeline. Simultaneous rallies were held
throughout the country, including in Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle. President Obama seems to have HEARD the
demands not to approve the pipeline, because he has repeatedly postponed his
decision to allow or prevent the pipeline. It remains to be seen, however, if he has LISTENED.
