Most Prescient New Yorker Cartoon – Ever

I’d date this Mankoff cartoon in The New Yorker from about 2001.  First saw it on the office door of Bill Rees at the School of Community and Regional Planning at UBC:

robert-mankoff-and-so-while-the-end-of-the-world-scenario-will-be-rife-with-unimaginabl-new-yorker-cartoon

.

It’s probably still there.

You can get it here.  Nice Christmas gift for someone at Enbridge.

  1. My favourite New Yorker cartoon. Man & woman look at city skyline with many cranes. “I can’t wait till the city is finished”

  2. How about the Metro Vancouver Port Authority http://www.civicsurrey.com/2012/12/06/surrey-coal-exporter-climate-denier/

    With no public consultation, the Port is moving quickly to turn Metro Vancouver into North America’s largest coal exporter. They plan to expand an existing terminal in North Vancouver, and open a new transfer station at Fraser Surrey Docks. At full-build, 8 million tonnes of coal will run along the BNSF railway through White Rock and South Surrey, transfer to an open barge on the Fraser River, and float via tugboat to a small Island near the Sunshine Coast for shipment to Asia.
