Writer, photographer, and climate advocate Julie Dermansky chronicles the year 2017 through images of the climate movement in the United States as well as the industries and politicians that contribute to the harmful impacts of climate change. Her powerful photos include the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., the battle against the Bayou Bridge pipeline, and the shadows of coal power plants in West Virginia. Her work seeks to shine a light on the dichotomy between the science and real human and planetary impacts of climate change compared to the lack of leadership on climate solutions at the political and industrial levels. Dermansky’s photography provides a visual tribute to the scientists, activists, educators, and communities that speak truth to power. Photo credit: Julie Dermansky/Desmog
