Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 25, 2015

Wow, Jef managed to be funny AND preachy on climate change at the same time!

Jef – well done on the 3:33 at the Boston Marathon!

Boy were they dumb in 1970.

Water from melting glaciers is typically as white as milk. It is full of rock dust, and can be quite harmful if you drink it.

What has all that got to do with having pale legs at the end of winter?

I am unable to connect Tautology A and Reasonable Hypothesis B to Baseless Assertion C.

I don’t remember it the same as you apparently do. But the one thing there was NOT in the 1970s that there is now is the political component. This alone gives me pause. I’ve dealt with enough politicians in my life to not have a very high regard for them in general.

Wow, this has to be the first time I’ve seen “Frazz” go downright surreal. Did it jump the shark?

As I keep saying about the “mini ice age” straw man argument — maybe we should ask why it didn’t happen?

Pale and see-through are not the same thing.

To which one can add radio and TV (no internet then). Hey, energy conservation was part of my job; and getting fuel for our plant was part of that. When one gets told that you can’t has NG by a pipeline supplier who blames the “upcoming Ice Age” , you take notice. You’re probably speaking of the notorious Newsweek article. That was pretty insignificant compared to what we were seeing and hearing in the industrial world. When the 11-year sunspot cycle finally passed (mid-1980s, I think), we started hearing some about “global warming’” . Our general reaction was “same old, same old”, because we’d been hearing the same thing about the Ice Age for over ten years.
