Today's Flickr Pick: Summer in Second Life Beneath the Blistering Virtual Sun

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Christina Geddins-Swot has the perfect picture for this month. It’s hot, It's Too Darn Hot. It’s hard to get anything done in the heat so I thought I would take a look round to see how my fellow SL residents are beating the heat. .

Steve Venkman has a solution unavailable to most of us. We’re warm-blooded but what about a gatorman. Would  he be cold-blooded? That baby pool would work. So would a nice, cold beer. Would that help?

One answer to beating the heat is doing something about climate change. That is ​​​​​​​ ​​ . ​​​​​​​ ​​ m ● n e’s strategy. She laments the irresponsibility of corporations contributing to climate change and refusing to address the real problems we all saw demonstrated so thoroughly this month. She did a photo exhibition called  Independence Day. It is her critical reflection of America through a collection of photographs and short essays, my current exhibition at Starborn Gallery.

 

Ricblas Ferraris shows us how the heat is made visible, permeating the air. We will see a lot more days like this. But there is still time, the tipping point scientists talking about is upon us, but we are tipping into climate refugees and climate migration, to water wars and islands of plastic waste. But we are not tipping to extinction…yet. It’s Not Too Late.
