Bill McKibben writes on an exhibition, “Coal + Ice,” at the Asia Society, featuring photographs that document the climate crisis.

Now, with rapid increases in temperature powering a never-ending stream of fires, floods, droughts, and storms, it’s easy to capture images—perhaps too easy, in that we’re so inundated with inundation and conflagration that, at some point, we seem to shut down. Last year’s record chaos, featuring the hottest temperatures in a hundred millennia, feels barely remembered; the news this spring that carbon dioxide has taken a record leap didn’t make the front pages. Those of us in the eastern U.S.

“As a photographer, I began to research some of the images people were making. This was before Instagram, so I was looking at Flickr and such, and the images were mostly polar bears and glaciers. What I felt was lacking was a visceral sense of how people were affected by climate change.” That year, floods inundated Yorkshire, England, and Mendel, working with an old Rolleiflex medium-format camera, made portraits of people in their drowned homes, some of which ran in the Guardian.
