What Matters on CNN.com

CNN.com hosts a audio slideshow and excerpt from Sterling’s new title What Matters, edited by “Day in the Life” creator David Elliot Cohen. This is the first of five excerpts and slideshows, featuring different chapters from the book, to appear on CNN.com.

“For a long time — the first 15 years that we knew about global warming and did nothing — there were no pictures. That was one of the reasons for inaction.

Climate change was still “theoretical,” the word that people in power use to dismiss anything for which pictures do not exist. It is the reason we don’t see shots of coffins coming back from Iraq; it’s the reason the only prison abuse we really know about was at Abu Ghraib. Without pictures, no uproar; not in a visual age.

But now the pictures have started to come, and they will not cease.”
