Last Thursday we had our main opening reception for the "Drawing the Line on Climate Change" art exhibit at Santa Barbara City Hall. Adrianne Davis and Charlene Huston, and so many other people worked to make the event very festive. The " little ice cream cones were fantastic. David Lea came to answer questions, and had a concern about a new paper predicting drought conditions in the Southwest US.

Dave Davis from the Community Environmental Council provided the following words:
"This exhibition is a conceptual representation on the issue of Global Warming, an issue that IS severe today. The point of this exhibition is that it opens up a dialogue regarding this issue. From the dialogue and EXCHANGE between people begins to happen, and from this, CHANGE begins to happen.

Without the questions, there would be no answers. And because of this event today, here at City Hall, I am here on behalf of the Community Environmental Council to explain the facts, and answer any questions. People say, reluctantly, that it almost always takes something BIG, something OVERBLOWN, to finally get people to listen, to change. This is always unfortunate given the issues we face…

You see, Art has this potential — to make a statement BEFORE the damage is inevitable, in hopes to create a community full of questions, and thoughtfully, one full of answers.”

lightblueline will make this statement, first in Santa Barbara, and then in coastal cities across the planet.
