The image displays a vertically oriented, rectangular artwork, possibly a print or drawing, centered against a plain black background. The artwork itself has a white matte border, approximately 4.5 cm wide on the top and sides, and slightly wider at the bottom, which frames a central rectangular section outlined with a thin black line. At the top of the central section, the Roman numerals "XIII" are centered. At the bottom, the word "DEATH" is centered. The main body of the artwork is a vibrant, hand-drawn illustration depicting a conceptual representation of climate change. At the top center, a stylized sun with a human face emits orange and red rays. To its left, a blue cloud contains the word "CLIMATE"; to its right, another blue cloud contains "CHANGE". The background features a light blue sky with faint outlines of mountains and stars. Below the sun, a reddish rectangular banner contains the text: "IN 1896 SVANTE ARRHENIUS A SWEDISH SCIENTIST CLAIMED THAT BURNING COAL, OIL & NATURAL GAS RELEASES CARBON DIOXIDE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE & WILL EVENTUALLY WARM THE PLANET." Directly below this banner, a circular portrait of a man with a mustache and dark hair is depicted. Surrounding the portrait is the text "SVANTE ARRHENIUS 1859-1921 FIRST CALCULATIONS OF GREENHOUSE EFFECT." On the left side of the artwork, a dark, jagged rock formation ascends. Adjacent to it, an orange-red, irregular column-like shape, topped with a red star-like symbol, is labeled "CAUSES." Below this heading, a list of causes of climate change is presented vertically in black text: "BURNING FOSSIL FUELS", "WASTE", "DEFORESTATION", "POWER PLANTS", "OIL DRILLING", "EXTRACTIVISM", "TRANSPORTATION", "FARMING", "CONSUMERISM", "MANUFACTURING", "INDUSTRIALISATION", "OVERFISHING", "FOOD PRODUCTION", "MARINE POLLUTION", and "POWERING BUILDINGS." At the base of this section, a stylized volcanic eruption is depicted and labeled "VOLCANISM," with the phrase "SOLAR VARIATION" written diagonally to its right. On the right side of the artwork, a melting glacier or ice formation, rendered in blues and whites, descends. Adjacent to it, a blue-purple, irregular column-like shape, also topped with a red star-like symbol, is labeled "EFFECTS." Below this heading, a list of climate change effects is presented vertically in black text: "GLOBAL WARMING", "INCREASING OCEAN, AIR & SURFACE TEMPERATURES", "WEATHER EXTREMES", "LOSS OF SEA ICE", "MELTING GLACIERS", "DECREASING SNOW & ICE COVER & ICE IN POLAR REGIONS", "BIODIVERSITY LOSS", "SPECIES EXTINCTION", "INVASIVE SPECIES", "DROUGHT & WATER SCARCITY", "SOIL LOSS & EROSION", "FLOODING LANDSLIDES", "STORMS WILDFIRE", "ILLNESS & DISEASE", "MASS POVERTY, HUNGER & DISPLACEMENT", and "DEAD ZONES." The artwork incorporates a bold and diverse color palette, with prominent use of blues, greens, oranges, reds, and purples. There are no people depicted interacting within the artwork, nor is any specific action shown beyond the conceptual illustrations and text. The environment is a stylized representation of Earth's climate and its processes. The image does not contain any information indicating its location in the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands.
