I choose the Image "Manifesting Destiny" by Alexis Rockman because the Image depicts a post human world where nature has reclaimed its territory and Nature has started to flourish again. The picture shows a city which before was populated by people underwater do to rising see levels, as well as different kinds of sea species and birds and trees. This is a direct appeal to humans to take climate change into serious consideration because if humans continue on the current path we as a species will go extinct and the only legacy we as humans leave behind is the reminiscence of the great heights humans have managed to accomplish.
