Editorial cartoon © 2025 by Drew Sheneman depicting the top of a green house with black shale roof, the top of a large tree behind the house and the top of a telephone pole with electrical equipment on the left of the house under a very gray, cloudy sky. The reason you can only see the tops of these objects is that surrounding them there appears to be an enormous flood taking place with floodwater everywhere leaving only part of the attic dry and with detritus floating around everywhere. Standing precariously on the sloping roof of the submerged house is an elephant-man with white tusks and huge floppy ears dressed in a black suit who is giving what appears to be a "thumbs up" sign with its right hand. The caption going across the bottom is a statement being made by the elephant-man: "CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT FUELING EXTREME WEATHER. I'M UP HERE FOR THE VIEW."
