Warming Stripes: A representation of annual global temperatures from 1850 - 2022.

The graphic has inspired many diverse applications around the world and is a powerful reminder of our climate crisis.

Anacapa Island – Will Adler

spending long hot days in the Maldives is equal parts intense as it is stunning. when the sun rises at 5am and sets at 9pm, the heat kills you and even the ocean is not refreshing to swim in. at high noon, when the heat surpasses 35c and everyone hides in the shade, i find the colors to be most vibrant: the rich blues of the sea, the blinding white sand, and the lush green jungle of the islands... it takes my breath away. i love photographing there, but i won't lie... it can be more intense than idyllic.
