Currently, we encounter these changes and catastrophes being discussed in regional public debates by people from the scientific community, government agencies, and politics, who use the authority of expert images to describe the ongoing changes and impending catastrophes. We do not see images that deviate from the established norms of scientific representation in the public sphere, and the voices of those directly affected by these changes are heard little or not at all in public debate. However, the presence of the planet as an active force producing its own images and ways of sharing them gives power to these alternative voices, languages, and images.
