One scenario indicates that Massachusetts will have a climate closer to that of North or South Carolina in 50-100 years. There are climate projections for Massachusetts and New England that are just as extreme as the Chicago situation.
And I wanted to bring that sense in to this piece and using the flamingos as seeding vessels for (speculative) gardens of the future. In thinking about this piece, and about my growing body of work about climate change, I was particularly interested in the clear thinking and feeling that happened right then: the fear and the mourning and the sense that I could almost feel, smell, and see this a changing world. It was a hot, sweaty, muggy, and unrecognizable near future. In that moment, climate change was not just an abstract concept.

Imagining that level of change in that moment, I could feel on my skin in my bones the drama and intensity of global warming. I’m from the Midwest, and imagining a Midwest summer that is as hot and muggy as Louisiana is pretty intense. One strategy as they prepare for that future and that climate is to, from here on out, only plant trees that are zoned for southern climates. In it, the author talks about how the city of Chicago is making planning decisions under the assumption that the climate in Chicago will be more like that of Baton Rouge, Louisiana by century’s end. About asking the question: is what we see now what we will see in 20 years? 50 years? 100 years? And if what we see now in the landscape is not what we will see, what do we think about this? What should we do as a result?Įarly in my research and exploration into the piece idea, I came upon this piece in the New York Times, “Chicago Prepares for a Warm Long-term Forecast”.
