The Effects of Climate Change in a Picture

Global warming does not necessarily mean that the entire globe is facing the same effects. A rise in temperature globally can mean more precipitation in some parts of the world, with less precipitation in other parts of the world. Some parts of the world are going to experience frequent extreme weather conditions like tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes or hurricanes. Other extremes people may face would be the temperatures. There could be colder winters and hotter summers and extreme highs and lows are going to become more common. The hot weather shown on the right could become a reality in the US with the rising temperatures, causing more frequent droughts.

What Does This Cartoon Mean?

In this cartoon there are two people, and what looks like a giant rock. One person is trying to push the boulder up the hill saying "Hey, let's do something about climate change" While the other person is on the other side of the rock saying "No". Inside the rock is written "Status Quo". The person saying "No" is trying to prevent the rock from moving up the hill, while the other person is trying to push it up the hill. I feel as though the person on the left, are the people who are trying to make the status quo change and help better the environment. While the person on the right represents the people who don't care about the situation.
