ALT A four panel comic. In panel one, a single lonely bird looks sad, and the text says "Hey. Caring about climate change can be isolating and overwhelming." In panel 2, there are now three sad birds, all ignoring each other, and the text says "Most of us are concerned about climate change, but we don't talk about it very often. So everyone thinks that nobody cares." In panel 4, there are now many more birds, and they're all chirping at each other. The text says "But you're not alone. You're part of a huge crowd that's working on this problem. And we have solid solutions." In panel 4, the birds are all singing at each other, their voices blending. The text says "It's not you. It's we. And we need your voice."

ALT A four-panel comic. In panel 1, three young people look on as a cartoonish ExxonMobil logo says "Hi, kids! Good news: your future is assured. We're going carbon neutral! At least, maybe. Hopefully. By 2050." In panel 2, a kid asks "You'll stop all your emissions?" And Exxon, pointing to a small part of a bar graph, replies "Well, these ones here, caused by our operations and the energy we buy." In panel 4, Exxon points to the larger chunk of the graph and says "But not these, which come from people actually burning our fuel. But who even does that? Weird!" In panel 4, Exxon says cheerfully, "Anyway, buy our fuel! Maybe just for decorative purposes though. Great chat!"

ALT A 9 panel comic. In panel 1, a smoke cloud says to a girl, "Hey kid, it's me, the fossil fuel industry! Climate change is a myth." She replies "Oh, okay!" In panel 2, the cloud says "Oops, I lied. It's real. But it's not caused by people." Okay." Panel 3: "Actually, I lied. People are causing it. But it's not that bad. Maybe it's great?" "O-okay..." Panel 4: "Just FYI, I did not hire a bunch of marketers form tobacco companies to help me lie to you." "I didn't thi- huh." Panel 5: "Oops, I lied! But the world needs fuel and there definitely aren't any alternatives that I'm actively lobbying against." "I..." Panel 6: "I lied. But it's undoubtedly too late to do anything about climate change now." Panel 7: We can't prepare for the effects, reduce their severity, and save lives using innovative and tested solutions." Panel 8: "There aren't millions-really, billions-of people who want to tackle this issue. You're alone." "That's oddly specific." Panel 9: "WOULD I LIE TO YOU???"
ALT A comic. The header says "Which of these is true about climate change?" On the left, purple-colored people say "It's too late to take action." On the right, yellow-colored people say "Everything will be fine." "Below: The answer? Neither is true." Then there are a series of comics in mixed purples and yellows. Panel 1 has fire approaching a home: "The climate has already changed in dangerous ways." Panel 2 has people reading near a windmill: "We're already taking action." Panel 3 has a hand holding a phone that says "Alert: Severe heat today." "But we need to speed it up." Panel 4 has a flooded neighborhood: "Every bit of climate change costs lives." Panel 5 has people biking near some people protesting: "But every bit of meaningful action saves lives." Below: "It's not too late. It's not fine. It's exactly the time to demand a better world."
