Iconic cartoon with people looking at a long list of public benefits connected with climate action, asking “What if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”

Iconic cartoon with people looking at a long list of public benefits connected with climate action, asking “What if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

I didn’t know that. No wonder it’s so raw and really captures all the angst of being a teenager.

Remember reading this for a high school assignment. Great choice.

Mine is 5 years old.
She can
Sit
Drop
Stay
Leave it
On your mat
Up
Wait
Let’s go
Ready, set, go (having a race)
Dinner
Bed
Wee
Let’s go for a walk
Where’s … (names of friends, family and her various toys)
Back soon (tells her that we’re going out)

There’s plenty more I’m sure. So clever :-)

I really hope Dutton is unelectable. I don’t think he has the charisma to get the support Trump does.

So glad this isn’t a thing in Australia.
