Weather on Steroids: the Art of Climate Change Science merges the artistic and the scientific for a visual dialogue about climate change, the effect of variable weather on local communi-ties, and Southern California’s vulnerability. The exhibit draws on scientific expertise at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where investigators are researching climate change, humanity’s role, and possibilities for a sustainable future. Visual artists have responded with subjective images of the planet’s upset balance and the impact of extreme weather. By illuminating the reality of climate change, Weather on Steroids aims to stimulate public dialogue about one of the most important issues of our time.
