Answer:

What began in the late 1800s as a love of oil (and the potential wealth oil brings) has turned to a love-hate relationship with oil. Oil has a wealth of uses, but also a wealth of consequences.

The United States uses one-quarter of the world's energy.
The United States is the second-largest producer of oil in the world.
The United States imports more oil than any other country.
The United States suffers from a blind and selfish dependency on oil.
The United States struggles with ending its dependency on oil, especially when lobbyists fight this.
The United States argues with itself over off-shore oil drilling. Catastrophes would truly be catastrophic, but the "oil race" continues.

Explanation:

The government of a consumer state has a vested interest in protecting the government of oil-producing states.

Which statement best descibes the overall message conveyed in this political cartoon? Climate change is something the Earth can

Inessa05 [86]

The basic idea presented in this political cartoon is that if we <u>do not </u>handle global climate change, the consequences could be disastrous.

<h3>What happens if we don't address climate change?</h3>

Climate Change and Its Consequences are more frequent wildfires, prolonged drought periods in some locations, and an increase in the number, duration, and severity of tropical storms are all possible future implications of global climate change.

If we do nothing, heat waves will become more common and severe over the planet, harming hundreds of millions—if not billions—of people.

Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.

As the question seems to be incomplete with missing cartoon images, the possible answer is given. The political cartoon by Andy Singer is attached below for reference.
