Carter Brooks
Carter Brooks is an artist and philosopher of climate art whose work explores how humanity and civilization will evolve in a rapidly changing world. He was selected as one of the first 50 presenters of Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, and in 2006, he co-founded Climate Earth, Inc., to provide Fortune 50 companies a systematic approach to understanding the impacts of the entire corporation. In 2000, the year that Brooks’ daughter was born, a scientific report forecasted that the polar ice cap would disappear by the time she would reach her grandmother’s age. While environmentalists began to fret about the future, Brooks found himself compelled instead by the urgency of witnessing and discovering meaning in this profound event.
