Banksy is a celebrated English graffiti artist whose real name and identity are a secret. The Twitter account @therealbanksy is described in its bio only as a “fan account,” so no one knows who that is either. What counts, though, is someone using Banksy’s name is attempting to make us all sad by showing photographic proof of the effects of climate change over the course of 34 years.

What makes us kinda sad are the number of people apparently buying it.

You can’t fool all the people all of the time, fortunately.
