climate stripes
is there a color beyond dark red?
beyond the worry and grief our current policies embody?
is there a color beyond climate inaction?
or will that be a world painted black?

Notes
Professor Ed Hawkins from the University of Reading developed the ‘warming stripes’ concept. These stripes visually represent the change in temperature as measured in countries. A stripe equals the average temperature in that country for a specific year. Often, these visualizations show the average temperature over the past 100 or more years. The ‘warming stripes’ can be created for every country using https://showyourstripes.info/. This poem explores what happens when there is no red color anymore to visualize the temperatures of a heated planet.
