This Scottish Art Installation Shows the Devastating Effects of Climate Change

The remote town of Lochmaddy, Scotland, is currently home to an extremely simple, and surprisingly effective, art installation about climate change.

Reporter: “How do the lights work?”

If the lines together became a single long line when watched from an angle, it'd become even more awesome

[Bettie_Rage]

How's that "news" if it took Vice one year to publish this report?

They should try to have them installed in New York

Keeps on thinking of those bike tracks from Tron.

not just art, more design and activism.


i like it. i don't want to see in in the Netherlands though. that will be creepy AF. with 50% of the country below sea level already...

"Nobody's doing anything about it..." This is true in his art community. Never mind the lighting engineers who are developing LED lighting that is 100's times as efficient. Never mind the glass engineers who are developing triple glazing and strategic low e coatings for #2 and #3 glass surfaces of IGU's. Never mind the breakthrough's in framing, and insulation. We need housing but give no credit to innovators and contractors who build in land use and energy use efficiency. We are lowering the rates of Carbon output, but still constructing homes with lighting, plumbing, heat and available transportation. AOC tells us "housing is a right" then Mayor De Blasio tries to ban the land-use efficient high rise. Why not have a real debate instead of spouting out endless grievances.

We can use all the extra water to put out the forest fires... dosnt seem that bad.

Yeah coastal towns are fucked. They don’t have the funds to fight sea level rise. Big cities might still last. The Netherlands are gonna thrive though. Their war vs the ocean will be entering a brand new phase.

Try showing them the Gorbals. Sardines in a stinking, damp drug infested prison.

[JoellHaugan]

So, if we stop emitting CO2 completely the oceans will still rise... so... how is this saving the planet?

[shosugino]

That's pretty devastating. Almost as devastating as your company's value in 2019 vs 2010 LOL

[Retartedstoner]

Vice news being vice news again. Piss poor journalism at its finest!

[Arty_McParty]

Meanwhile in China "KEEP WORKING ON THAT DAMN REPLICA" !!! And more factories !!!

[ilyamuromets]

I don't care if its good or bad art, it's atleast beautiful and that's what matters.

[stilcrazychris]

I think they should have the lights everywhere. Then people might start to pay attention to how climate change is affecting the whole world. It will kept it in everyone's mind. Then people might start changing there habits? Let's all have hope.

Lol the tides lower the boats daily. The lines are a prediction are such bs. Why can you get so many “predictions” so wrong like the melting of the ice caps which didn’t happen. This is like an end of times religion you dare not question.

I'm going to do the same art installation in Florida but base it off of the predictions of 1990.

There will be a big sign saying "this will be underwater by 2005 along with most of Florida"

the timing of the glacials and interglacials was driven by periodic changes in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of sunshine reaching various parts of the planet. The effect of these small orbital changes was amplified by positive feedbacks, such as changes in greenhouse gas levels.

During the first two-thirds of the Quaternary, the ice advanced and retreated roughly every 41, 000 years – the same tempo as the changes in the tilt of Earth’s axis. lol
