Flower blooms offer a unique perspective on climate change. Annelie Berner’s art installation, Plant Futures, uses blooming flowers as a visual metaphor to represent climate data. The artwork explores how a single flower’s needs for survival could be affected by future climates. The size, number of petals, color, and even the veins of a flower are influenced by the temperature, rainfall, and storms of the month in which it grows. Sensors track these environmental factors, compiling them into data that reflects the flower’s surroundings and the broader climate. Berner’s installation illustrates how flowers might morph under different climatic conditions, providing a vivid representation of potential future changes.

Apr 11 A 1,200-year-old data series offers no room for conspiracy theorists and science deniers. For all those who claim that the climate has changed much more dramatically in recent centuries than it does today:
For 1,200 years, the date of the first cherry blossom has been

Jun 6 NASA’s PACE Mission Reveals a Year of Terrestrial Data on Plant Health
A lot can change in a year for Earth’s forests and vegetation, as springtime and rainy seasons can bring new growth, while cooling temperatures and dry weather can bring a dieback of those green colors. And…
