A bearded man crawls across a vast desert under a fierce sun, his words trailing from pleas for water into demands for reduced CO2 emissions, green renewable energy and expanded public transportation. The June 30, 2021 cartoon by Christopher Weyant responds to the deadly Pacific Northwest heat wave that brought record temperatures to the West Coast. Weyant uses the parched setting to link immediate suffering with the need for policy shifts on fossil fuels and transit. The image appeared in the Boston Globe amid ongoing coverage of climate impacts and calls for mitigation.

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.
