Nowadays there are already many squared kilometers under water and the fact that the coast is flat and the houses on it do not have the adequate and proper <strong>defenses<\/strong> is definitely not helping defeating the sea level rise.<\/p>\n<p>But how much do we actually know about this? Sometimes, not even people living in Venice know exactly what is going on, or better, what <em>might<\/em> be going on.

The project wants to create some pieces of art which focus on the problem of climate change and its consequences.<\/p>\n<p>An example from the project is the mural in Venice: <strong>Climate 04 Sea Level Rise<\/strong>, a painting which runs horizontally on some yellow walls in Canal Grande, full of <strong>data<\/strong> and scientific forecasts which appear right in front of the eyes of the observer, together with a series of blue lines, which represent the <strong>waves<\/strong> of the sea.<\/p>\n<h2>What does <em>Climate 04 Sea Level Rise<\/em> tell us about climate changes?<\/h2>\n<p>Andreco collected data from different scientific sources, such as: the <strong>Ipcc<\/strong> (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the <strong>Delta Committee<\/strong> or <strong>Wgbu<\/strong> and <strong>Stefan Rahmstorf<\/strong>, a German climatologist. These values represent an <strong>average<\/strong>, nevertheless we can understand that the situation is not very promising. The straight blue lines indicate that the rise can reach 2 meters of height, whereas the other ones represent the sea\u2019s extreme waves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17700\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-17700\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/henry-be-67049-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Venice by the sea, photo by Henry Be via Unsplash\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/henry-be-67049-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/henry-be-67049-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Venice by the sea, photo by Henry Be via Unsplash<\/div><\/div>\n<p>However, the values are not only negative: the artist show us an favorable scenario due to a possible<strong> reduction of emissions<\/strong> and the changes that it would bring, putting the observer in front of a crossroad. Can we really choose what is going to happen to the planet? The answer is yes, there are many things we can do to make things better. Just like other works of art, this one teaches us that we have to become more aware and put ourselves out there to save the most fragile gems of our planet, like Venice.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Andreco\u2019s mural tells us a story that could have tragic consequences, but it is also full of information to help us going on living more <strong>responsibly<\/strong>. Global warming and the rise of sea waters are extremely delicate topics, but they are a current problem, and for this reason we should talk about it more.
