A biting new satire imagines penguins hitting back against climate change—with tariffs and
diplomacy.
In the now-viral TikTok, a deadpan “Chief Spokes-Penguin” from Heard Island & McDonald
Islands announces a 2000% climate tariff on nations responsible for global warming,
singling out the U.S.

The parody takes aim at real policy failures, using formal language to contrast the absurdity
of climate inaction. It’s witty, deadpan, and sharply written—satire at its most effective.
The video is part of a broader campaign, including a fake government site filled with mock
legislation, downloadable propaganda, and links to legitimate environmental causes like
ASOC.

Clearly labeled as satire, the project still delivers a real-world punch: climate change has
consequences, and those without power—like wildlife—bear the brunt.
By reframing environmental politics as a global roast, the campaign invites viewers to laugh,
then think. It’s The Onion meets COP28.
The creators are planning more mock content, including trade negotiations, sanctions, and
even “penguin ambassadors.” The concept asks: what if nature had PR?
In the end, it’s not just funny—it’s sharp, timely, and disarmingly smart.
