Images of Climate Change from Around the World

Photographer Michael Hall decided to turn his lens on the effects of global warming after a brush with death. Hall was run over by an 18-wheeler and nearly killed while bicycling. After he recovered the ability to walk, Hall traveled around Australia to document the effects of a blistering drought on the nation caused mostly by global warming. “I'm taking very beautiful imagery of quite a tragic subject,” Hall told The Daily Beast of his photos, which document the shocking effects of global warming across the globe. Here, high tension power cables snake above an apparently pristine environment in Háifoss, Iceland.
