A new climate forcing, let’s call it Musikiness, will change the upper trough-o-sphere:
Climate change data is being transformed into beautiful symphonies
What is the sound of a dying planet? Translating hard facts into feeling is the issue of our age – and it is the task Climate Symphony have appointed themselves. A collective of artists and scientists, the London-based team are inspiring action by transforming climate change data into music.
Listen at the link.
Wait til you see what it can do. This is a pretty powerful tool:
“Climate Symphony has developed a side-project – calling out lies in politics.”
“We want to create a formal record,” she says, “A method of fact-checking the things Trump is saying, of finding distortions. It’s revealing. You’re looking at it, and listening to it, and you find that it’s distorted. It’s all distorted.”
Musikiness could replace the US GAO. (Who needs auditors). But I worry about what happens if they use the wrong key.
Finally, twenty years late, EcoWorriers care about transparency and “hard facts”:
“…it isn’t just background noise… music is the data. “These are still hard facts – that’s the beauty of it.”
