A political cartoon by Guy Parsons published September 2, 2020, depicts a massive red truck labeled Climate Change barreling down a road while a tiny gray car marked Solutions putters behind it. The occupants of the small vehicle shout Hey, lighten up there, LEADFOOT! through a speech bubble. The image illustrates the disparity between the scale of climate change driven by fossil fuels and the limited pace of proposed solutions amid concerns over carbon dioxide, drought, flooding, and storms. The cartoon responds to ongoing 2020 discussions about emissions reductions and policy responses to global warming.

The cartoon shows Donald Trump as an orange-faced infant clinging to a chain and riding a large wrecking ball marked NEW E.P.A. RULES. The ball swings toward a Christmas ornament shaped like Earth hanging from a tree branch. The title WRECKING BALL appears at the bottom. Published January 14 2020 the image responds to Trump administration actions rolling back environmental regulations through the EPA. The visual ties those policy changes to broader concerns over climate impacts including events like Australian wildfires linked to fossil fuel emissions.
