If the amount of press this campaign is receiving is any indication of its importance, then we can confer that this is as important as many of us believe it is.

Milton Glaser, the designer behind the iconic ‘I ♥ NY’ logo, has turned his attention to global warming, creating a logo for an awareness campaign titled ‘It’s not warming, it’s dying’.    “There is no more significant issue on Earth than its survival,” Glaser told design publication Dezeen. “The questions is, ‘how can anyone not be involved?'” Speaking of the design – a disk with a black-green gradient running from North to South – Glaser said, “I can never answer the question of how ideas originate, and apparently, neither can anyone else. But, symbolically, the disappearance of light seemed to be an appropriate way to begin.”

Not every socio-geographic-political campaign can be as clever and universally loved as "I ♥ NY". But Milton Glaser, the world famous graphic designer who is responsible for the NY love phrase has come up with another doozie. This time it is in relationship to climate change which he considers more appropriately, "It’s not warming, it’s dying." His slogan and icon are causing quite a stir which is just what this issue needs.

Is this the end or is it the beginning? Is it the birth of something new or the death of something old? Not even Milton Glaser, its creator is sure. But just to make sure that everyone is paying attention, he coined the phrase, "It’s not warming, it’s dying", to get everyone’s attention. Good work from one of the world’s greatest graphic designers.

Milton Glaser’s latest geography campaign is not like the uplifting, “I ♥ NY”. It is quite the opposite. "it’s not warming, it’s dying" is his response to what is happening to our planet. This article also pin points the insights of some other very wise and funny people.

We will not be in time to stop the effects of global warming. But we can find ways to receive refugees and provide them with a new homeland.

We won’t be in time to stop global warming. But there is always time to stop adding to its affect and help those already impacted by it.

Not the popular solution to homelessness that ‘Housing first is, this ‘isolated in the middle of nowhere approach’ may provide some very positive support to long term recovery.
