Warmist climate scientist Cecilia Bitz works on her own climate hoax-themed parka: " Arctic species (including man) tumble out of the map towards flames on the lower hem, which includes stock ticker symbols for major oil and coal corporations"

Shrinking snow depth on Arctic sea ice threatens ringed seal habitat
The ringed seal, currently under consideration for threatened species listing, builds caves to rear its young in snow drifts on sea ice. Snow depths must be on average at least 20 centimeters, or 8 inches, to enable drifts deep enough to support the caves.

"It's an absolute condition they need," said Cecilia Bitz, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington. She's a co-author of the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
[So I Googled "Cecilia Bitz", and found this]
Collaboration with climate scientist Cecilia Bitz

Thematically, the anorak addresses climate change effects on the Arctic, which is Cecilia's research focus as an expert on sea ice. The anorak was designed to fit Cecilia, thereby clothing the scientist in her own work.

A beaded map of the Arctic (with 3 different definitions of Arctic) on the shoulders locates the work geographically. Greenhouse gas moledcular models are found on the hood. Arctic species (including man) tumble out of the map towards flames on the lower hem, which includes stock ticker symbols for major oil and coal corporations. On the cuffs, sleeves and front and back of the anorak are equations and plots with particular significance to Cecilia's research. During the collaboration, Cecilia fed me with many detailed reports that informed the design and took part in the artistic discussion (I almost never start with a set design). She beaded several of the components including the muskox and right cuff seen in this image.
