A thermometer bursting past the 1.5° mark, with the mercury continuing to rise — but the thermometer is shaped like a tightrope, and a tiny figure representing humanity teeters on the thin glass above the break point. Simplified further: a giant cracked thermometer with its mercury spilling over the top like a flood, submerging a miniature landscape below. The message: we've passed the limit, and the overflow is drowning us.
