The cartoon shows one little girl called 'La Nina' pouring water from a watering can over a teddy bear while another wicked little girl called 'Climate Change' eggs her on. Context: The strongest La Nina weather system in 50 years has brought historic flooding to Australia and drought to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, driving up food prices.
