Burning Fossil Fuels Tomorrow

Text on the meme

Man, I don't feel like burning fossil fuels today, maybe tomorrow... New York, London, and parts of California could be underwater in DECADES

What it means

A four-panel meme shows a person postponing burning fossil fuels, a warning that New York, London, and parts of California could be underwater in decades, a sweating distressed face, and a heavily polluted industrial landscape. The joke is dark climate-change sarcasm: the character treats a serious long-term environmental crisis as an excuse to delay action until tomorrow.
