B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for August 26, 2012

Republicans would still denounce climate change.

The climate is, was, ALWAYS will be (until the sun goes nova)in a dynamic state of change…get over it.

@cubefarmer & @win: I used to be a DITW NDP supporter (you in the States would say extreme left) but not since their worshipping at the shrine of the Carbon Tax. Glad to see there’s a few others out there who think for themselves. BTW, the sun isn’t going to go nova….check out www.thesurfaceofthesun.com if you like challenges to the existing paradigm

There has been no global warming for the last fifteen years. What does that mean? If it’s hotter than usual, that’s global warming. If it’s colder than usual, that’s global warming. Wetter than usual, dryer than usual… Global warming. It’s the CO2 from the cars… No it’s the CFC’s in your spray can… no it’s Freon… No, it’s the hole in the ozone… we’re heading for an ice age… It’s global warming… they finally settled on climate change. The climate changes… Duh!! Al Gore said the oceans would rise three inches by now. We’re waiting.

Then why can’t they decide what it is? :)

IF CO2 was a pollutant (which it’s not) and IF CO2 caused global warming ( which it CAN’T) it would still be sneaky and coniving for multinational corporations to set up a system such as carbon tax and cap-and-trade whereby they can go on polluting and just buy credits. The whole system stinks and we (the minions) are all going to be the sufferers for it. The elites will have a field day.

I have a question for you- do you have a copy of Kyoto? Have you read it? If you did and you have any level of intelligence, you might have realised that Kyoto was not designed to save the planet- it was to guarantee economic sustainability for the robber barons.

Kyoto was one of the poorest-written documents I have ever read.

And you, Johnny Potseed (in between tokes, so that maybe your mind will clear) should download the emails from East Anglia University and see what a bunch liars and manipulators the “scientists” at the Climate unit were. Still are.

Here’s a few respectable scientists who would disagree with you….http://www.petitionproject.org/

How do you think the Aborigines got to Australia BEFORE boats had been invented?THEY WALKED!OF COURSE THE SEA LEVEL HAS RISEN, BUT THAT WAS CENTURIES BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!!!

THAT is the DUMBEST statement I’ve ever heard! There are HUNDREDS of respectable climate scientists who ‘doubt’ that idiocy! The only ones who don’t are on the public dole with GRANT MONEY!!!

Dagnabit! Pay careful attention some of you – this may be difficult but, take notes if you wish, IT’S A CARTOON! NOT! A political forum. Get real.

CO2 in the atmosphere is the ONLY source of carbon from which green plants can make plant fiber to grow! Didn’t you EVER hear of photosynthesis????If it weren’t for CO2 in the atmosphere, there wouldn’t be, and never would have been, ANY green plants at all!!!EVERY BIT of wood that has EVER existed came from the carbon atoms in the CO2 in the atmosphere via photosynthesis!!!If it weren’t for green plants LONG before MAN ever evolved, there would be NO free oxygen in the atmosphere for air breathing animal life to exist!!CO2 is NOT a pollutant, it’s PLANT FOOD!!!! In fact from the PLANT’S standpoint, there ISN’T ENOUGH CO2 in the atmosphere at the present time!!!

Humans are too puny to change the natural environment.All those rain forests would have disappeared by themselves, Chernobyl was a natural disaster waiting to happen, Hoover Dam was built by beavers. etc.etc.etc.

Idiotic leftest fantasies that are agreed on by 95% of the world’s climate scientists! I would trust a scientist on this issue before I would put my faith in a political party.

Uh huh. I don’t think we’ve gotten quite that far yet.

wow! hot hot air!

Guess I’m a “leftist idiot” too then.

Seems to me he is poking fun at manmade global warming. If the guru in “B.C.” times saw the water rise to his mountaintop amidst no industry or huge human population, there was no manmade element to it, right?

Climactic change is cyclical, driven 90% by solar cycles. Man is still too puny to impact it much.

What a bunch of fools. Climate is here to stay, it’s all part of Gods plan. Nothing we can do about it. So quit yer bitchin about it and have a beer if it gets to hot. Whoops…. my beer farts caused the temp to rise a few degrees. Sorry about that.

maybe i’m stupid but if the ocean is rising, from whence doesall this water recede?

1 volcano eruption can do more damage in air pollution than everything man has done in the last 200 years.

Thinking that this planet parasite can do any real damage to mother earth is giving yourself waaaaay to much credit.

Oh no! Not BC! I hope this cartoon was done with an ironic feeling.

It was my intent to just read the cartoon, but I thought I might interject some common sense. Large ships are now going through the Northwest Passage, half of the Greenland Ice Sheet that has lasted +400,000 year has disappeared over the past 30 years, and warm weather species are moving northward. An old farm boy will tell you it is getting warmer.

Now it is either by something we are doing or something that is out of our control. The former means it may be inconveinent and difficult to get out of the hole we have dug. The latter means we will see things get VERY bad and not be able to do a thing about it. Personally, I prefer something I can change, and if it is the latter that I at least tried.

Remember the media makes money and politicians get elected promoting controversy. Find out what is actually happening and use your common sense.

All in all, today’s strip wasn’t very funny or original.

I laugh at all these ‘scientists’ who probably spent high school science class on extended smoke break behind the portable classrooms. They are the ‘experts’ now telling the scientists how wrong they are. “Wait! I have a ‘study’ that disproves climate change. No, wait! it disproves man-made climate change! No wait, it says that climate change is a good thing!”

I wish these ‘geniuses’ would stop playing Calvinball with the facts.

There is a dark cloud over the mountain, relax, laugh and move on.

Oh well, when the Pagan Cultist takes office in January we can kiss goodbye to anything and everything we do to try to protect God’s creation.

Actually a GREAT strip! It perfectly illustrates the absurdity of man “made global warming”.If their climate changed because of man made global warming, what changed it? No SUV’s. No factories… No nothing. Looks pretty NORMAL to me!@ pouncingtiger…..Um, can you tell me who died and left you or OwlGore in charge? And gave them/you the power to decide this current weather is perfect, and can NEVER, EVER change from it’s current form?It was global cooling, remember that? Now it’s global warming. Soon, it will be global cooling again. Look who is in denial.(here’s a tip for ya anyway, it’s MUCH easier to grow food for the world when it’s warm. But it’s pretty dang hard to grow food when there’s snow on the ground. You should be celebrating IF it’s getting warming (and it’s not, it’s actually cooled off ya know)). You libs just like to listen to yourself whine and cry.And what’s wrong with a carbon tax Night-Gaunt49 said…..I’ll tell you. It will destroy the economy, make people like nanski peloski and OwlGore even MORE rich than they are (because of “insider” trading) and will DO NOTHING for the climate. It will STILL change.See? That’s the part you haven’t gotten yet. The climate will ALWAYS change, you can’t do squat about it. Heck, we can’t even stop a simple storm! How are we going to change the entire climate!!!???You global warmer are just insane, you simply can not use any logic what so ever. So your comment about “logic” was very funny.

Reminds me of the final scene of “Waterworld”. The top of Mt. Everest was just a small green island.

Wow, I only came to read a comic strip and found myself in a flame thrower. Now that’s hot…

It’s sad when one can’t appreciate humour because you disagree with the authors supposed political view point. It’s an old style joke and it’s sorta funny, enjoy it for what it’s worth, I did :D

Many eons ago, when the dinosaurs were around, the whole earth was temperate. There was no ice, etc. With our short life span, we cannot decide that there is or is not “global warming”. We might be contributing to it, but don’t have a long enough time frame to judge the exact cause correctly.

The glaciers are disappearing. Polar bears are running out of ice. If we could really see into the future about 200 or so years, we might see quite a difference. Who knows what Florida will look like? Or low lying places like the Outer Banks in the Carolinas will still be around. The earth is getting warmer, but we won’t be around to argue about how it got that way.

He’ll be trying to make us believe in evolution next.

Am I the only one reading this strip who actually finds it funny?

So, who do you believe? Back in the 50s, scientests with the same credibility as those today screaming global warming were warning of a coming ice age!In the recent mid-west heat wave, we didn’t break any record highs (1936 set the standard for record heats) – but at the end of the heat wave, we set two record lows two days in a row!Not just matched, but beat by several degrees.Still, things are not as bad as a report from the 1800s when this area had a frost in mid-August, and then to add insult to injury, warmed back up into the 90s- the smell of rotting vegetation was unbearable according to some reports!

Ice age over! Back in 10K years, +/-
