“Climate change, the ironic side effect brought about by humanity's pursuit of happiness and the progress of civilization.”

Since the dawn of civilization, humanity has continuously struggled with problems like short human lifespan, food shortage, long production speed, and etc. After the Industrial revolution, civilizations became an energy consuming society, and it brought unprecedented depletion of resources and massive environmental destruction.

In this piece of illustration, the Ballers suggest that the biggest problem on climate issues is not the climate itself, but our ignorant attitudes on it. Like a Jenga game, every person tries their best to live a better life, but ironically their actions dwindle the balance of the entire ecosystem. In the meantime, modern society guides people to look up higher ambitiously, no matter how little foundation we have. This artwork suggests audiences consider this issue comically and humorously.
