Our Global Warming Globe offers a powerful visualization of climate change and its global impact. Designed as an educational and artistic tool, this handmade globe features striking illustrations of deforestation, polar ice loss, and the global annual temperature anomaly—alongside major coastal cities projected to face flooding first due to rising sea levels. A custom map key provides context for each environmental marker, making the globe an excellent resource for classrooms, libraries, and climate-focused discussions.
Each globe is designed by artist and globe maker Wendy Gold, and sustainably made by hand in her USA based studio by artisan globe makers and professional wood workers, using eco-friendly materials and finishes.
Special design features include exquisite collage map art created from vintage maps, ephemera, engravings and illustrations, and our original globe design with a handcrafted wood base that allows the globe to fully spin around its axis. Because a World made by hand should tell your story, you can choose from four stained wooden base options, and add a complimentary personalized message of your words circling the North Pole. Not just a globe - your globe.
Ideal gift for teachers, students, environmentalists, and curious minds of all ages.
