The cartoon by Peter Kuper portrays Lee Zeldin, appointed EPA administrator in 2025, across four panels that show a progression from intact natural habitats to scenes of industrial pollution and species loss. Early panels place Zeldin amid trees, animals and an EPA emblem. Later panels show him consuming the agency logo and exhaling flames from a smokestack. The caption states that Zeldin fired scientists and advanced deregulation targeting climate and environmental statutes. The work responds to ongoing policy shifts at the agency during the second Trump administration.

A four-panel cartoon by Peter Kuper illustrates the consequences of fossil fuel consumption. The sequence begins with a red-skinned figure bearing an oil rig tattoo sipping from a glass containing a palm-tree island under an American flag umbrella. Subsequent panels show the island burning, then battered by storms and lightning, and finally the glass melting into rising blue water filled with fish. The work responds to ongoing debates over fossil fuel profits, U.S. environmental policy, and international climate commitments as of October 2025. It highlights tensions between energy extraction and the Paris Accord goals ahead of COP 30 discussions.
