This installation project aims to explore and visualize the relationship between the level of carbon dioxide vs. global climate. A greyscale color scheme depicts the carbon dioxide variation over the last four hundred thousand years. In comparison, four tubes using a color scheme based on the weather map describe temperature variations. If more carbon dioxide is present in the global environment, the higher the temperature. Inversely, the lighter content indicates a lower carbon dioxide production and therefore followed by a generally colder climate.
