The cartoon „?“ drawn by David Horsey and published in June 28th 2012 deals with the lack of proposal for modification and rules concerning the climate change and green economy.
It shows a steamship with the inscription “world leader” and a speech bubble, which says “it’s settled… we agree to sign a pledge to hold another meeting to consider changing course at a date yet to be determined”. The ship swims directly towards an iceberg with the inscription “climate change”.
The cartoon declares, that the concept RIO+20 only states, to change anything to follow a green economy, but leaves out rules, consequences or concepts about how to change the economy in the countries. The ship in the cartoon will drive into the iceberg and sink, if they do not change the course. Relating to the green economy, RIO+20 has to contain strict rules and plans, to really change the economy and consequently slow down the climate change.
