Fire

A comic in four panel:

Panel 1. Pepper and Carrot, a young witch with her cat, is buying vegetable at the market, with her broom on her back. The city is half in flames, yet it’s still market day and people are everywhere. The seller, an halfing goat, responds to her.

Pepper: “”But… isn’t there a−”
Seller: “−a fire? What fire? It’s just a little hot today.”

Panel 2. A posh lady walks past. An halfing dog-man brags.

Lady: “Someone is complaining? I’m perfectly fine. Just install a well in your home like we did.”
Dog-Man: “There is no fire, kid! It’s pure Elves’ propaganda!”

Panel 3. Pepper points at the fire in the background, to the suprise of the lady and man.

Pepper: “But… Don’t you see it?”

Panel 4. The posh lady, seller, and dog-man all scream at Pepper. She flies away on her broom without looking back, circling her finger near her head (a gesture for “crazy”). They’re now completely engulfed in flames.

All: “Everything is FINE, OK?!!!”

    There’s a lot of denial where I live too. The very popular conservative right-wing party has gone from comically absurd denial to “sure, it’s real, but it’s not that bad, and in any case the important thing is to not waste any money so we must think long and hard about what to do about it” (meaning they will do nothing and defend it as being “financially healthy politics” or some bullshit like that).

    Many other politicians (center/left) seem to have shifted their talking points from “we must do something about it” to “we must adapt to the climate changes” (in other words, between the lines they say “there’s nothing we can do about it, except learn to live with it”). Only the green party still tries, but they’re not very big.
