The Price of Progress

Inspired by the work of Thomas Hart Benton

Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.

Thomas Hart Benton (April 15, 1889 – January 19, 1973) was an American painter whose work often depicted scenes of everyday life in America, and especially the midwestern states. Born in Missouri, he studied art in Chicago and Paris, and lived in New York for over 20 years. Benton taught at the Art Students League, his most famous student being Jackson Pollock. Benton’s works have appeared in the Whitney Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Peabody Essex Museum.
