A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

"Okay, ~~ManBearPig~~ the elephant is real. What are we gonna do about it now, huh? What are we gonna do that's gonna make any difference now, Susan?"
Seriously, even in 1970 drastic action might not have been enough to stop a lot of the damage, as nature has been filtering and absorbing what we've done long before signs started showing. However, given that the last thing we should have done was ramp up things to dwarf what we had done in the previous century, but that's what we did. And we still aren't putting on brakes. We get what we deserve.
And yes, doing something now is still better than nothing, but so much less than it could have been.
