Climate Denier Concedes Too Late as Island Submerges
DESERT ISLAND CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER TOO LATE by Christopher Weyant, politicalcartoons.com
Purchase Reprint Licensing
A political cartoon published October 11, 2024, depicts a climate change denier on a nearly submerged island who finally accepts the science and asks to return to the mainland before the next hurricane. His companion points out that the flooded land is the mainland. The image responds to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which caused widespread flooding in Florida and North Carolina in September and October 2024. The cartoon uses the desert island trope to illustrate how some skeptics only acknowledge climate impacts after personal exposure to extreme weather. It underscores the irreversible effects of sea level rise and storm intensification already underway.

The cartoon shows a map of the southeastern United States with puzzle pieces displaced along the Florida Panhandle and adjacent states. This visual represents the path and damage caused by Hurricane Michael, which made landfall as a powerful storm. The image was published the day after the hurricane struck the coast. Hurricane Michael reached Category 5 strength before hitting Mexico Beach, Florida, on October 10, 2018. It produced severe wind, storm surge and flooding across the region. The puzzle motif conveys the fragmented state of affected communities.
