A new set of emojis about climate change has been released by a team of NYU students and their professor. The “climojis” depict various forms of climate impact, all of which are unfortunately familiar by now – trash, smog, a fish with swallowed plastic bottle, a tree on fire, a house on fire, flooding, drought. Et cetera.
