A meme of mr krabs calmy drinking coffee on the top panel and freaking out on the bottom. The caption on the top right says "countries dealing with climate change" and on the bottom says "Uzbekistan." This is a joke referencing the retracted article in the quoted post, whose results were highly sensitive to erroneous sub-national data in Uzbekistan. One implication of the erroneous data was that most climate damages were occurring in Uzbekistan.

A cartoon of a business person and children gathered around a camp fire in a post apocalyptic setting. The business person is speaking and the caption reads "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
