Temporality of Climate Change

For my project I'm interested in the issues of lag time and urgency. Specifically, I want to look at how effects of climate change are manifested in environments and how various groups of people (environmentalists, scientists, other people, whatever) react to those manifestations (or lack thereof). I see climate change as simultaneously a really urgent and fast-moving problem and also as a slow issue spanning multiple generations. I'm thinking of using traditional craft techniques/methods (like embroidery) to construct some kind of timeline, but I think something movement-based might also be appropriate. I also would really like to work with others (Jenn and I are planning to work together but the more the merrier).
