climate change

As wildfires continue to ravage the West Coast, President Trump has been quick to dismiss climate change as one of the root causes, stating that countries in Europe like Austria don't suffer from wildfires because Europeans live in "forest cities" that are "managed better" yet are "more explosive" than the trees in California.

We're not entirely sure what any of that means, and apparently neither do memers, so please enjoy the following memes about "forest cities" in Austria.

In case you were in the mood for a little dark and depressing humor, you've come to the right place! In light of the Global Climate Strike happening today, we're bringing you some climate change-related memes that probably won't give you any hope for our dying planet! On that note, please enjoy the memes!

Happy Earth Day! People may be dying everywhere from a plague right now, but at least the earth seems to be thriving? Sometimes you just have to look on the bright side and that's all you can do. Scroll down for some (mostly cynical) memes about our beloved home planet, and let's try to do a better job of taking care of it, starting by saying a big "f*ck you" to Nestle.

Former Toronto Sun Editor Lorrie Goldstein claimed in a tweet that no "SJW" would be able to explain the actual science behind climate change. He was in for a significant amount of embarrassment when Writer and Content Strategist Karen Geier replied to the tweet with a whole arsenal of facts and evidence.

By the way, what believing in climate change has to do with being an SJW, we'll never know...

The fires in Australia have been devastating to human lives, countless species of animals, and the environment at large - so much so that the smoke from the fires is predicted to be seen around the world. While climate change encapsulates planet earth, we hope you can at least find some enjoyment out of these ecology-related memes (and maybe a little environmental inspiration at that).

Elon Musk just donated $1 million worth of trees to YouTuber MrBeast's fundraiser, which aims to raise $20 million toward climate change efforts. The campaign, called #TeamTrees, is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. Musk, who renamed himself "Treelon" on Twitter, currently holds the record for biggest donation, followed by the likes of MrBeast, Jeffree Star, and...the entire nation of Ukraine.

Dank memers on Reddit have been going crazy meme-ing their favorite billionaire for his (supposed) charitable efforts. Below are some of our favorite examples!

In news that probably comes as a surprise to virtually no one, the state of California is once again on fire. The exact cause of the fires is not known for certain, but it's heavily suspected that PG&E, provider of natural gas and electricity to much of California, is behind it. PG&E has since implemented planned power outages in order to divert the fires from spreading further. Ironic, isn't it?

So while we all wait for this sh*t to blow over, let's sit back, mock PG&E, and browse through some memes.

We're all about niche meme accounts as creativity seems to be a rarity these days in the meme world. Most people just use the trending meme formats or create content that is so basic and relatable that it is boring. This is not the case for Toronto-based @dyingbutfine. Kristel Jax, the artist and writer behind the account, has been coping with mental health struggles since 2016 - the same year she created her funny, touching, and very dark meme account. Many of the memes combine images of Barbie-esque dolls paired with dark themes such as depression and denial. We love them. If you like Jax's work, we encourage you to give her a follow on Instagram and consider donating to her Patreon. 

If you're craving extra fresh and extra dank memes, you've come to the right place. This batch of memes has it all: subtly offensive memes, dark memes, and even some weirdly specific and relatable memes. And remember, if you crave more of these, you can always scope out the r/dankmemes subreddit. You never know what you'll find there, but it definitely won't be boring.

Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg is just sixteen years old, but she's currently experiencing several lifetimes of bullying from arguably insane people all over the internet. It's absolutely incredible to us that adults would stoop so low to discredit a passionate and well-informed kid for wanting to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, as has been well-documented on r/insanepeoplefacebook, this has become an increasingly popular move for ignorant boomers and right-wingers that don't believe the world is in any danger. Warning: some of these posts are incredibly offensive. Just try not to read them before a meal. You may lose your appetite.

We post a whole lot of meme lists, but most of them kind of veer to the relatable and normie zones of memes. That's why every now and then we like to peruse the r/dankmemes subreddit for content that may be a little hotter than what we usually post. Because you're worth it.
