Description

The cartoon shows the globe with a volcano spewing smoke, dust and ashes out of Iceland and oil leaking into the sea and dripping off into space from the Gulf of Mexico. A voice from New Zealand tells people not to panic as 'We're about to bring in our Emissions Trading Scheme'. Refers to the eruption of the Iceland volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, which erupted causing planes to be grounded for six days from 14th to 20th of April throughout Europe and continues to cause problems intermittently. Refers also to the disastrous oil spill from a BP rig in the Gulf of Mexico, which is ruining stretches of coastline and wildlife along four states. Refers thirdly to the implementation of New Zealand's half-hearted efforts to mitigate the effects of carbon emissions.
