This meme features text at the top that reads 'Me taking my hour and a half long shower trying to think of ways to stop climate change', placed over footage of a small brown frog standing in shallow water looking up as a heavy stream of water pours down onto it. The joke relies on irony: the subject is wasting large amounts of water, an action that harms the environment and contributes to climate change, while simultaneously attempting to brainstorm solutions to climate change, mocking performative or hypocritical environmentalist behavior.

This is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post from user @Kat_Upendi, whose display name is alté babe. The post presents a humorous two-part joke: it first quotes a common anti-sunscreen argument, "My ancestors didn't wear sunscreen", then delivers the punchline, "They had an ozone layer babe". The joke satirizes people who reject modern skincare advice by pointing out that prior generations lived when the ozone layer was less depleted, providing more natural protection from harmful UV radiation. The poster's profile image shows a smiling Black woman holding her chin in both hands at a social gathering.

This single panel meme displays a standard render of NASA's Voyager 1 probe floating in deep space against a background of stars and faint nebula. Overlaid text anthropomorphizes the uncrewed probe, stating it is moving further away from its war-torn, climate-ravaged home planet Earth, and jokes that it has sent a signal indicating it is happy to have escaped the many crises plaguing Earth. The humor derives from relatable cynical sentiment about current global social, political, and environmental problems, framed as the probe being relieved to leave those issues behind.

This is a social media comment thread meme that features a layered pun. The first comment by user fionaaelizabeth jokes that they are so stressed, they would be dead if they were coral, since corals die from excess stress. The second comment asks what causes stress for corals, to which the third user replies with the punchline 'Current events'. This line has a double meaning: it refers both to real-world ongoing issues that cause everyday stress for humans, as well as current ecological events like ocean warming and pollution that are major documented causes of coral stress, bleaching, and death. The final comment 'Get out.' is a humorous, exasperated reaction to the silly, clever pun.

This meme features a real photograph of former Tuvalu Foreign Minister Simon Kofe standing knee-deep in shallow, clear ocean water, positioned behind a standing podium. A United Nations flag and the national flag of Tuvalu are placed to his left, with a blue fabric backdrop behind him, and partially submerged concrete coastal defensive structures are visible further out in the water under a cloudy sky. The text overlaid at the top of the image uses the popular Bernie Sanders meme phrase structure, reading: "I am once again asking for your attention to the issue of climate change." The visual powerfully demonstrates the immediate threat of sea level rise to low-lying Pacific island nations like Tuvalu, which face total submersion due to the impacts of global climate change.

This image is a photograph of a desktop computer screen showing an interactive map simulation of 450 meters of global sea level rise applied to the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula region. Most of the low-lying coastal land around the Strait of Hormuz is submerged by water, which results in the strait becoming completely unobstructed by surrounding land. The meme jokes that this extreme, catastrophic sea level rise is an absurd 'solution' to geopolitical tensions and blockades of the Strait of Hormuz. All place labels on the map are written in Arabic.

This is a reaction meme combining real-world financial news with a scene from the TV series *The Good Place*. The top text states: "Home insurance is up 74% since 2008 and it’s only going to increase because destructive weather keeps getting worse", highlighting the growing financial burden of home insurance linked to worsening climate-related extreme weather events. Below this text is a screenshot of character Eleanor Shellstrop (portrayed by Kristen Bell) from *The Good Place*, displaying a forced, strained smile while delivering the iconic line: "This is The Bad Place." The meme uses the show's core joke—where characters realize their supposed idyllic afterlife is actually a torturous realm—to sarcastically frame the rising insurance costs and climate impacts as a modern-day "bad place," expressing relatable frustration and despair about these ongoing issues.

A two-panel comparison meme about global warming. The top panel shows three large, partially melted ice cubes with the text 'ICE THEN,' representing ice in the past. The bottom panel features Peter Griffin from Family Guy holding a color chart with sections labeled 'OKAY' (top) and 'NOT OKAY' (bottom), with the text 'ICE NOW,' humorously implying current ice conditions are 'NOT OKAY' due to global warming.

The meme consists of two text sections and a visual element. The top text reads: 'Environmentalists: We need to reduce our Carbon footprints to combat Climate Change.' Below this, a second text line states: 'Meanwhile, increasing use of AI:' followed by an aerial black-and-white photograph of a dense cityscape. Superimposed over the city is a massive, dark footprint, symbolizing the large carbon footprint of AI despite environmentalist efforts to reduce individual carbon footprints. The visual metaphor critiques the irony of AI's growing environmental impact amid calls for sustainability.

A meme featuring a man with visible tattoos wearing a dark coat with a white fur collar, seated inside a cable car and gazing out at a mountainous landscape. Overlaid text contrasts past and present family structures: 'Back then dads had 3-4 kids. Now kids have 3-4 dads.' The punchline, 'Climate change is crazy,' humorously and sarcastically links the unrelated trend to climate change, creating an absurd comedic effect.

The meme consists of two distinct sections. The top section features a snowy outdoor scene with the Kremlin (a prominent landmark in Moscow, Russia) visible in the background. Two individuals dressed in heavy winter clothing stand in the snow, suggesting a harsh Russian winter. Overlaid text reads: 'Russian winters may become less harsh due to global warming.' The bottom section is a screenshot of a man driving a vehicle, with a small German flag displayed in the upper left corner of this portion, implying a reaction or connection to Germany. The overall composition combines a news-like visual with a reaction image to comment on the impact of global warming on Russian winters.
