Monsoons and Global Warming; Standing at Courts
There have been articles lately about the effect of El Nino on Indian Monsoons and consequently watershed issues of having enuf water. These monsoons are affected by global warming that changes weather patterns of precipitation.
There have also been articles about loss of vegetation, plant species, due to the inability of plants to out run global warming. These would be the same plants that protect the watershed.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in this country is scheduled to review a case brought by California against the EPA, to the effect that it is not doing the job it is mandated to do. The outcome will depend upon the legal question of "standing". That is, have those bringing the case been suffciently damaged.
The plants going extinct, the starving polar bears, the millions of thirsty Indians, presumably cannot bring suit.
What does this have to do with ecological art? It is the raw meat.
