Bursting the Bubble: Climate Cartoon Dissent

by EarthDesk | Sep 29, 2013 | Climate Change, EarthDesk Sunday | 1 comment

Editor’s Note: On the dual occasion of Sunday Cartoon day, and Friday’s release of the latest IPCC report (EarthDesk, September 29), we decided to step outside our own climate bubble here at EarthDesk and share the work of three cartoonists who dissent about, or simply want to have fun with, climate change. Yes, we understand it is a sacrilege. But it is good to remember there are everyday people who just are not there yet — friends, neighbors, fellow church-goers . . . even cartoonists. — John Cronin

Aren’t you worried you can’t even publish these cartoons without speaking in religious tones yourselves ?

dangerous digestion

Inspired by new scientific studies of the human body as a metabiome, Dr. E. Melanie Dupuis, Professor and chair, Department of Environmental Science and Studies, reimagines the American body politic through a new metaphor — digestion — opening social transformations to ideas of mixing, fermentation, and collaboration. In doing so, she explores how social activists can rethink politics as inclusive processes that involve the inherently risky mixing of cultures, standpoints, and ideas. Dangerous Digestion at Amazon.
