• Abstract: Based on the increasingly serious problem of climate change, and the lack of research and analysis of metaphors on the theme of climate change, this paper identifies, classifies and interprets the multimodal metaphors in Chinese and American news cartoons concerning climate change. In this study, 40 news cartoons about climate change from China and America are respectively selected as the analysis materials. From the perspective of critical metaphor analysis, the causes and consequences of climate change are taken as the target domain, while the source domain images related to climate change in cartoons are found out to interpret the emotional attitude and practical significance to be conveyed behind the metaphors. It was found that the source domain images of climate change in Chinese and American cartoons are highly similar, and the emotional attitude and practical significance to be conveyed behind the metaphors play an important role in helping readers interpret the viewpoints of news comics and calling on readers to pay attention to climate change issues. 气候变化的问题日益严重，以气候变化为主题的隐喻研究却相对较少。本文从批评隐喻分析视角出发，选取中美气候变化新闻漫画各40幅作为分析语料，对其所包含的多模态隐喻进行识别、分析和分类。以气候变化成因和气候变化后果为目标域，找出漫画中与之联系的源域意象，发现中美漫画映射气候变化问题的源域意象具有极高的相似性。理解隐喻背后所要传达的情感态度和现实意义，能够更好地帮助读者解读新闻漫画观点，呼吁读者重视气候变化问题。
