Cartoon in two panels
The upper panel, labelled “5th extinction” shows a group of fearful dinosaurs looking up at an approaching meteor.
In the lower panel, labelled “6th extinction”, the dinosaurs are replaced by modern animals also looking up fearfully, but this time the meteor is replaced by a fat, wealthy man, smoking a large cigar and clutching a bundle of money.
The cartoon shows a scientist at a lectern talking on six different years:
1990 "So, this climate change thing could be a problem ..."
1995 "Climate change: Definitely a problem"
2001 "Yep, we should really be getting on with sorting this out pretty soon ..."
2007 "Look, sorry to sound like a broken record here ..."
2013 "We really have checked, and we're not making this up"
2019 "is this thing on?" Scientist tapping the microphone
The six years depicted were all years in which IPCC reports were published
