Top photographers bring the reality of climate change to Instagram

There’s actually more to Instagram than selfies and Starbucks. A new account on the service called Everyday Climate Change has been formed by a coalition of world-class photographers who are posting pictures that best demonstrate the effects of climate change, particularly in impoverished areas that lack the ability to protect themselves from its effects. 

The #tbt hashtag might get a run for its money on Instagram: climate change has arrived on the popular social network. World-class photographers are putting their pictures on display for a new account called Everyday Climate Change and amateurs can contribute. Instagram might seem like an odd place to show pictures of climate change every single day. Though it’s sometimes maligned as the home of selfies, cat photos and latte art, the social network also has a strong network of photojournalists and artists looking to share their craft with a wider audience.
