Pop culture remix: Use this Sword of Fire and Ice as a reminder that climate change is real

The Sword of Fire and Ice delicately balanced atop a world in peril.

Sword of Fire and Ice: This classic artifact from Magic the Gathering is one of the more iconic pieces that people who don’t even play, i.e. me, know about. My take on it also combine imagery from another game I don’t play but enjoy consuming the lore. DOTA 2’s Jakiro is a two headed drake possessing the destructive forces of fire in one head and ice in the other.

Climate change is a real pressing issue and the effects of climate change are very obvious in the mega-droughts, super fires, and extreme polar vortexes that are making it almost impossible to live anywhere anymore. Climate change is also primarily caused by human action, and we have a responsibility to do our best to steer the climate in a responsible  and ethical way. 

Taxes in the U.S. right now is an excellent microcosm of what all of our realities will be when the climate disasters start coming into all of our communities.

Self-soothing with fantasy escapism is a great way to get by day-by-day, but we can’t just bury our heads in the sand and ignore the real impacts of climate change that are more and more visible every day.

Think how your actions will effect the world seven generations from now. Be excellent to everyone.
