ÇORUM JOURNALISTS’ ASSOCIATION 2nd Cartoon Competition

 

Theme: Are we going to burn or freeze?

 

Aim: Our world is getting polluted rapidly from many sides for the last two hundred years. The gases comes out of the factories’ and houses’ chimneys and of the exhaust of the motor vehicles –having increased rapidly after the Industrial Revolution –are causing the climate changes which have never seen before since the Ice Age, which was millions of years ago. The regression of gradually melting glaciers’ to the polars and the loss of  ice cap, on high mountains, the rise of sea level, the migration of plant & fish species, the decrease in the number of bird species because of the air pollution, the rapid growth of the annual rings in trees are, of course, the indicators of rapidly warming in the earth.

However, the meteorologists are talking about the probability of shutdown of the Gulf Stream warm water current, which is transporting the warm sea water from the equator to the western Europe, because of the melting of the North Pole glaciers; and finally, the possibility of a new ice age in Northwest Europe at the end. In other words, the global warming can bring our world to a new ice age at the end. It is uncertain/indefinite whether we’re going to burn or freeze as a result of the global climate change.

Arranging the second cartoon competition, Çorum Journalists’ Association aims to reflect the effects of the global climate change on natural world under the title of “Are we going to burn or freeze?” with the universal language of cartoons.
