You've probably heard of the theory that Whitewalkers=climate change so raise your house sigil and see what detrimental environmental issue you should be concerned about.

Choose A House From Game Of Thrones And Find Out What Environmental Issue You Should Care About

Winter is coming, but not right now because at this rate the Arctic could be ice-free by summer of 2030 . As the leader (possibly King) in the North, you should be deeply troubled by the fact that an iceberg the size of Delaware splintered off of Antarctica July 2017.

Melting ice caps

Y'all might want to burn down King's Landing with Wildfire, but do you even realize the levels of CO2 and SO2 it probably releases? You should be concerned that the US gets 81% of its energy from fossil fuels (which is going to run out by 2088.)

Reliance on fossil fuels

Riverrun might be your home but "Big Fish" is overrunning your waterways with enourmous tankers catching much more than tuna (from turtles to dolphins). You really should be worried that all the world's fisheries will be depleted by 2048.

Overfishing

You might enjoy the fresh air on the Eyrie, but you can't escape from the dangers of air pollution in form of a nasty courtship between sulfur dioxide and nitric oxides. Inhaling air pollution lowers your life span by 1-2 years, but if you cross Littlefinger and his creepy love for Sansa, it will probably decrease by a greater deal.

Smog

Y'all literally live in a swamp, but not in a fun Shrek way more of a I'll-kill-everyone-you-love kind of way. That doesn't mean you don't care about your ecosystem. The Wetlands are some of the most biologically diverse systems in the world which is why you're angry at human activity like drainage, construction and damming that leads to their degradation.

Loss of Wetlands

Your god is Drowned, that probably means that he hangs around a coral reef because of its rich and diverse community of sea plant and animal life. Since we already destroyed 27% of the world's coral reefs from rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification, you'll want to safeguard the sea's treasure before we lose 60% in the next 30 years.

RIP coral reefs

The Arbor is known for two things: its wine and roses. You know who is the powerhouse behind them? You guessed it: bees. You'll want to push all that vino money towards organizations to fight against the use of a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids that are causing colony collapsing syndrome worldwide.

You're high key a psychopath who doesn't listen to reason, so you're probably a climate change denier.

Denier

Y'all are literally Sand Snakes but that doesn't mean you want to live in a desert. With 12 million hectares of land lost to land degreadation worldwide, no country is safe from the loss of arable land. How else are you going to build the Water Gardens for your creepy uncle to watch you play in?

Desertification

You can't "hear me roar" if there are no lions left in the savanna. The lion is listed as vulnerable but there are 16,306 other species on the endangered species list.

Loss of biodiversity
