Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 09, 2017

That’s one way to create more coal mining jobs.

I never knew Dumb Donald was that short, or that he had a pointed nose.

I guess Rat is wearing safety glasses

It’s the air conditioning that’ll get you.

Here is a simple person’s view of global warming: It’s just going to be warmer out.

I just love how the only argument I’m hearing against the Paris agreement boils down to “Well, THEY might do bad things, so why can’t WE do them? No fair!”

Oddly enough, a colder globe has less fresh water. It takes thermal energy to make fresh water and gravity never rests. But covering every available surface with fresh water also causes catastrophic global cooling, which results in global aridity and ultimately global warming. What is your role in the cosmic scheme of things? If you have to ask, you already know. You actually don’t count for much.

According to the World Health Organization, the U.S is the least polluted country on the planet.

He could use coal and oil going to all those climate change meetings.

I commute with several diesel pickups “rolling coal.” I don’t see the attraction, and if I had any sort of asthma or other condition that could be triggered by it, I can see the danger. Takes a special sort of person (interpret “special” as you like).

Our planet is endangered not as much as the pollution we now produce as much as by the pollution we WILL produce. Population growth will nullify any attempts of ours to reduce our carbon footprints, even if they are more effective than the wimpy Paris agreements.

Li’l Trumpee said ‘climate change is a hoax’ then he applied to build a sea wall around one of his golf courses to protect it from the rising ocean.

Add hardhats to the list of things Pastis can’t draw.

I am more concerned about the huge mass of plastic in the Pacific Ocean.

so Trump was actually being clever; who knew..

I love Pastis. He takes idiocy and makes it funny.

Now that summer is here. The heating can retire.

Rat’s gonna burn the coal he received in his stocking last Xmas!

Rat has the Attitude to stick it to the Sierra Club. He looks almost professorial in his safety glasses and helmet, clutching his plans!

And Zeeba Neighba is so passive and meek!

Will Rat’s hotels avoid the colder latitudes?

Dump the coal into a volcano!

It’s so weird to see rat in a hard hat without two beer cans attached
