Maybe not so much quirky as heart-rending, but you could use a picture of a polar bear struggling because its ice has melted.
Here's a good bumper sticker: http://www.bumperactive.com/fullsize/brucePolarBear.html
As for something you could take yourself, how about a picture of someone mowing the lawn and wearing a surgical mask? Or a mosquito biting someone (widespread Malaria is one of the fears global warming activists often raise). Or an old-fashioned thermometer with the mercury really high.

I just watched a documentary on National Geographic called Strange Days on Planet Earth hosted by Edward Norton. OMG. It focused on the waters of the world and how the human factor has contributed to it's serious heath decline. Two segments stood out - 1 Albatross chicks that are dying of starvation and when they do an autopsy, their stomachs are loaded with plastic. From the floating plastic garbage islands in the Pacific Ocean. 2 - a chemical used in the manufacture of plastic resins and polymers is leaching into waterways and causing gender bending because once in the body, it acts like Estrogen. It is also in plastic baby bottles... I don't think this answers your question. Please forgive me. It is just so upsetting to me.

Coastal Erosion maybe?
You could try to find photos of coastline from 40 or 50 years ago, then take photos of what it looks like today. People have been doing this with glaciers, but if traveling out of the country is out of the question, then I'm not sure what would be available in the UK.
Only problem with erosion is that these are processes that are not always directly associated with global warming.

Penguins leaving prints in sand
Standed polar bears is a classic
Satallite view of artic or antartic sans ice cover.
Hurricans the size of the atlantic
Buckled rail lines
drunken trees - no permafrost
People stealing / fighting over water bottles in London Tube - it happened!

Go to anywhere in the north half of the US.. and take a picture of any outdoor scene. Then title it "notice there aren't glaciers here and haven't been for thousands upon thousands of years"
Should give some perspective on the global warming myths pushed by so many people..

Set up a globe with a thermometer on it. Shine a large heat lamp on it on low intensity. Read the temperature. Then turn up the intensity and read the temperature again.
Solar activity is causing climate change.

If you can't find something around you to illustrate global warming...perhaps it isn't happening??
Just a thought. It's good to approach things with a mind open to the possibility that what everyone is saying...ain't so. Media needs hype, politicians need campaign points, solar panel companies want revenue, toyota is making a killing...

You could do homeless penguins or
you could show disappearing islands of the pacific
you could show new desert
Global warming is really a misnomer it could mean a frozen desert created by shifting climate. The Sahara desert was created by climate change.
You could show fossils and then make like human remains are fossils footprints etc... then say we could have stopped this.
Good Luck with your project it sounds like it is important.

just about any eye-catching image can have a climate change perspective - a handbag with an illuminated globe in it - "what if someone stole your planet"? or globe floating in the bath - how much CO2 per gallon of hot watter?, or in te toilet bowl - how much CO2 per flush?

A credit card with a picture of the planet stuck on it ...
Ad-busters http://www.adbusters.org/home/ might help your creative processes..
often the best way is to parody mainstream images, especially if they are climate deniers like Esso/Exxon

On a recent visit to China, I was shocked to see the number of people wearing surgical masks to go outdoors. This would make a very impressive photo.
