While many of us enjoy the luxury of watching TV on our couch with a cold can of soda or beer, the ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. Polar bears that need the ice to hunt and survive are drowning or starving; sometimes forced to search through dumpsters to survive. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news…

Global warming is undeniably here. 2000-present date was the warmest decade on record worldwide www.epa.gov/climatechange/indi… . This is not part of the natural climate change but a human induced and an abnormally accelerated increase in temperature. Waiting for the countdown until all the ice caps and glacier have melted and water level has risen is not an option.

Many of us think that helping to prevent global warming is just about driving a hybrid car, or getting solar panels, which most people can't afford, so why bother?

While fossil fuel burning cars are a huge source of green house gasses, many other things also add up to create the problem. The manufacturing of anything takes up energy, which is usually created by burning fossil fuel like gas and coal. Relying on oil also lets big oil companies like BP and ExxonMobile get away with oil spills time and time again (with the most recent large spill in Yellowstone national park billingsgazette.com/news/local… ) With that in mind, I'm not saying we should give up everything we own and live in the wild, but any amount of reduce, reuse, and recycle will lessen the amount of new products that needs manufacturing. And that's something we can all do.

Taking public transportation, carpooling, or riding a bike are a cost efficient and healthy way to save energy and money. Even eating less meat (especially cows and pigs), can greatly help because it takes more energy to raise a cow than some crops of the same nutritional value. Cows are also a huge source of methane, which is another type of greenhouse gases that's responsible for global warming.

There are many other small things that we can all do help the environment like turning off the lights when we're not in the room, or not using the AC or heater if we could just take off or put on a jacket instead.

Change is not waiting for the scientists and government to come up with the solution, change starts with the little things we can do everyday.

It has come to my attention that my work closely resembles this one pepey.deviantart.com/art/globa… which was made 2 years before mine. I have never seen this until after I posted my drawing, and people started telling me about the similarities between the two. I did not copy the idea and the similarities are purely coincidental. Congrats to pepey who came up with it first, but please do not assume that I plagiarized.

I really think this image is so symbolic and displays how humans should also be aware about the environment and the destruction their causing... The way you drew this truly explains the meaning about global warming and why its such a big thing! You absolutely expressed this drawing beautifully and coventially to me because I'm also aware of the global warming problems and really hope we humans can change our ways. So thank you for drawing this

The problem is not pollution. Heat goes up — that's physics fer ya. Flip the clock up side down. Or, better yet, plug up that tiny hole between the halves.
But then it's only natural for the clock to run out at some point.

Sadly I know a guy who's spending the bulk of his life saying destructive climate change isn't real, but then he's got lots of cute animal pictures on his farm, so it can't be said he hates animals :/


Still, very powerful imagery here.

I ride by bike to school and swimming every weekday. I'm trying to be conicous and our family recycles. But unfotunely we still have a long way to go. I think what would really help is educating 1st world countries more about consumerism especially the USA and Canada about buying less and being aware. Some stupid people in the USA are saying global warming isn't even real! Around 2000 Canada ,Japan and a few other countries launched the Kyoto Protocal , a project to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in these countries by a certain percent by a certain year. Only about halfway until the deadline, Canada dropped out, saying they couldn't meet the demands. I'm really depressed my country did this, I hope we fix this together. Great art! I'm glad you're addressing these important issues even though it's depressing.
