Climate change a game changer? (2023)

The world is changing dramatically at the moment, 2023 will not only be the hottest year since weather records began, but human-induced carbon dioxide emissions will also reach a new high. In August 2023, I therefore asked people all over the world to express their views on this in words and pictures. 

58 artists, authors, bloggers, photographers and poets from all over the world took part in this virtual project. But unfortunately, the soft voices of the last orangutans remain unheard, and I can't ask either the dwindling fishes, because we still prefer to just eat them after all what's going on.

It was a great pleasure for me hosting this global virtual project. It's still not too late and hence not everything is already lost for our nice blue planet. Overall, whilst progress is happening
and solutions to avert the climate crisis are being implemented globally, the climate
crisis itself is accelerating at an ever-faster pace, threatening to cancel out the progress already made. So we really need to run quicker in the interests of all vulnerable creatures and threatened beings existing in our extraordinary terrestrial world.
