Clean Energy World

Clean Energy World (1.3 x 2.9 meters) is painted in acrylic on doubly primed canvas, It is based on a classical Fibonacci Sequence-based (Da Vinci Code) Golden Rectangle geometrical scaffolding. The painting is about the Clean Energy World of the New Jerusalem in "England's green and pleasant land" (William Blake and "Jerusalem"), this contrasting with the Zoroastrian duality obverse world of darkness and pollution. For details see 300.org: sites.google.com/site/300orgsite/300-org .

 

The world is acutely threatened by man-made climate change. Top climate scientists say that we must reduce the atmospheric carbon dioxide dioxide (CO2) concentration from the current 390 parts per million (ppm) to about 300 ppm for a safe planet for all people and all species (see "300.org - return atmosphere CO2 to 300 ppm": sites.google.com/site/300orgsite/300-org---return-atmosph... and "Climate Crisis Facts & Required Actions": sites.google.com/site/yarravalleyclimateactiongroup/clima... ).

 

To do this we need a rapid switch to the best non-carbon and renewable energy options (solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide and hydro options) that are currently all cheaper than the true cost of coal burning-based power) and to energy efficiency, public transport, needs-based production, re-afforestation and return of carbon as biochar to soils coupled with correspondingly rapid cessation of fossil fuel burning, deforestation, methanogenic livestock production and population growth (see "Climate Crisis Facts & Required Actions": sites.google.com/site/yarravalleyclimateactiongroup/clima....
