Tom Toles departs the Washington Post:
Toles: Climate change is the nation’s most pressing concern and a threat to humankind. Toles says the ‘70s environmental movement made him realize the significance of global warming and the need to amplify awareness of it.
“Climate change was something that I was almost manic about, [but] it wasn’t a very popular topic for political cartooning.”
Toles as he retires from his decades long career says most of his work surrounding climate change wasn’t well-received initially, but that didn’t deter him for making drawings about it; he felt it had to be addressed. Toles told himself he was “going to keep coming back to it and hammer on [the] subject until people start paying attention.”

Readers of GreenPolicy360 should look at “The Madhouse Effect” — a satiric portrayal of climate change denialists — that Tom Toles co-authored in 2016 with renowned climate scientist Michael Mann. Through this book, the authors hope to change people’s attitude toward global warming.

Toles says he’s “alarmed” it has taken so long for people to acknowledge climate change as a grave threat on a mass scale.
He says he is shocked to see people debating its validity and that he can’t believe government economic policies that favor industries continue even to this day.
