Any cartoonists in the audience?
by Richard PerkinsShellyT over at Futurism Now has posted a sobering article on the key findings of the Global Climate Change Impacts Report released this week. In her discussion she compares the stubborn but influential group of climate change deniers to the three wise monkeys, Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru. Or as they are more commonly known to us westerners, see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
I suggested that if climate change deniers would only cover their mouths as much as they cover their eyes and ears, the rest of us might finally be able to make some progress averting the coming catastrophe. Which would be a great topic for an editorial cartoon, if only I was a better artist.
I imagine a scene with the monkeys in business suits, with Big Coal name badges or hats. See No and Hear No could be ignoring an expert presentation of climate change impacts, while Speak No could be interrupting with suggestions of clean coal. He would of course, be covering his own butt instead of his mouth.
How about it? Are any of my readers cartoonists? Why not sketch up your idea and attach it in a comment?
