Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 21, 2019

The bad news is the man you’re writing to is more reality-impaired than your dad.

Happy Easter, everybody!

bad news: the president of the US doesn’t control global warming

Shows how our government schools brainwash our children.

The bad news is the President does not believe that global warming is a problem; the worse news is that Congress, a body that can override the President, is so dysfunctional that nothing would be done, even if the President chose to act on climate change.

The Evans don’t usually go political, so this is an interesting turn for them, even though they have tried to mask it in Shannon cuteness.

Earth Day Tomorrow, so yes this is appropriate.

She makes more sense than he does

Unless it’s a tweet, he won’t read it.

And now the bad news, the president thinks that global warming is just a lie made up by the Chinese, and anyway he doesn’t give a damn about you or anyone outside his family and friends, and I’m not even sure if he cares about all of them.

Well, he is a narcissist, and will be dead soon, so why would he worry about the future, or anyone else?

Can’t Wait To Flaunt My Half-Baked, Insignificant Political Views In The Comments Section For A Newspaper Comic Because No One Else Will Listen To Me And It’s The Only Way I Can Get Replies

Okay. I’m gonna get REALLY controversial here today, and wish EVERYBODY (Even Les) a HAPPY EASTER! ;)

The second news (not so good): it’s all a sham!

“…and while you’re at it, Mister President, please stop having pictures taken of you with your shirt off riding horseback. It looks ridiculous.”

(She is planning on sending it to the President who’s really running the country, right?)

I am impressed…. the Sunday comic is a comic to celebrate Earth Day (technically on Monday)!!!

Very, very nice, Greg.

Thank you!

We did save the ozone layer, maybe we should be making more freon to kill our selves quicker

Ever notice that the only scientists who confirm global warming—- work for the gov’t?

So her school is into ideological indoctrination? Sine of our times. Next she will want to change her gender.

Today’s strip has totally cured me of my daily Luann addiction. It has been my routine to read the Luann strip before I start my day. It was a warm & fuzzy way to ease myself into the real world.No more.As I was signing on this morning, I was thinking how nice it would be if there were spinoffs from the original strip. I would love to only see the Brad & Toni story line. I still want to know what happen with the inspector!But today – Shannon & global warming have killed all the reasons why I read the Luann strip. Why must everything in the world today be politized.

Precious Shannon. This is really a nice thing to do♡. Is so important that children try to do all they can for save the Earth. But I’m sad for the bad news.

Now, the bad news. Neither the President nor any other human can do anything about global warming. It’s not a man made phenomenon, it’s just part of a natural cycle.

Dear Shannon,

See that great big, hot nuclear reactor up in the sky. It has more to do with “climate” than us puny ants crawling around on the surface of one of its minor planet in the big scheme of things.

Don’t listen to the Boogie Man. Enjoy your Easter Egg hunt and all the good stuff the Easter Bunny brought in your pretty Easter Basket.

Your Pal,Tyge

Every other country on the planet is trying to do something to reduce climate change. I guess there has to be one trying to give the others something to do.

The People of the United States are in charge of the United States. The president is but an overly important servant, he is not a dictator. Also, the People’s power is constrained by the rights of individuals, and by reality.

At least that is the theory.

MAGA!

Now have her write the same letter to the Leader of China. Might explain at an early age that some problems are not simple to fix.

The earth has been warming at the dame rate since the middle of the last ice age. Sea levels have also been rising steadily.

Climate change is mostly political. The Paris climate Agreement gives a free pass to the biggest polluters of the planet, and tries to restrict countries like the US. It isn’t about saving the planet, it’s about realigning the economic growth of the world.

Please, if I want to hear about poloiics I read the commentary disguised as news.

You know being a teacher it is amusing, and kinda terrifying that people who have a certain political/social/religious view of the world think that Public Schools teaching current science is engaging in brainwashing. Constitutionally if public schools started teaching religion that would be unconstitutional, but is preferred by these same people who claim that Christianity is in essence a state religion, which belief is totally against the First Amendment. So….GnK actually put their foot into politics, particularly religion, on EASTER SUNDAY of all days!! Jesus H.Christ!! Let me compliment them on taking this step, whatever one’s point of view is on global warming, the fact that a young person would have an interest in an important public issue,and that Brad recognizes that he needs to give her some context,and the kind and loving way he does it, is really the point here. I am fully expecting a lot of hatred expressed in various ways to this post, but remind that the person whose day this is said that we should love those we disagree with, not hate.

Send it to China.

It’s only a crisis when republicans are in charge. Digital media aside, how many trees were cut down for the paper to print this comic strip on?

And it’s written so the Pres can understand.

Well, this is sure a hot-button topic, isn’t it. Not exactly entertaining.

Whew! Greg drops a bit of cheese and we have a feeding frenzy.

Well, methane is escaping from the earth thanks to the thaw in the tundra in Siberia, so that “natural” condition will speed it up even more. Believe climate change or not, enjoy the ride; it’s going to be a bumpy one

I have followed Luann for years and I think it a great comic – BUT if is going political I will drop it like I dropped ’Moderately Confused". I read the comics for a break from the daily tragedies that fill the news!

We’re doing all that’s needed, it’s now up to the rest of the world to follow our lead.

Greg should have looked up GOBAL on Urban dictionary before he used it. Maybe he did mean Gobal Warming and this is not about politics at all. I’ve never had a BJ so I don’t know if Gobal Warming is a bad thing.

Urban Dictionary— Gobal— The best 5 minutes of silence a married man can ask for. Funny!

Whether you celebrate, or commemorate, or merely commiserate that your favorite store isn’t open today…

Happy Easter everyone!

Really, warmist propaganda here? Please, no more….

The Earth has been warming for 12000 years naturally . That is why all the giant glaciers melted . The warming is called the Holocene. In a few thousand years, the Earth will get cold again and that is just natural. Real science, not political science.

Not that it will change the minds of the climate change deniers here, but: https: //climate. nasa.gov/ scientific-consensus/ [remove spaces]

Then only thing I’ll add is that “natural” climate change has not been not benign to human existance. It has in various eras been responsible for the deaths of large numbers of people (and the upheaval of civilizations) so maybe the possibility that human cause and influence, which can to a certain degree be changed, might be looked at more positively by the deniers.

Completely wrong, and part of the reason why we’re in the deep kimchee we’re in now. The president is NOT in charge of the country. The Framers deliberately wrote the Constitution to create a weak president, one that would have to be co-equal with the judiciary and legislative branches.

Good news: this is only a comic strip.Bad news: Lots of people will point to this strip as affirmation of this incorrect understanding of the most important document in Western history. (Well, maybe tied for most important with the Magna Carta.) I’m disappointed in you, Greg.

Yes, Shannon, whether the whining liberals like it or not…the President is the leader of this country.

OBVIOUS DENIERS here. How do you feel about vaccinations?

Shannon said “Brad” and not “Bwad”. She’s growing up.

Despicable to turn this cartoon into more political bashing and BS propaganda about “global warming”. …and even worse…nothing about Easter on Easter Sunday. The author is just another duped mouthpiece, propagating lies and socialism. Look no further than Venezuela for your answer to the latter. I’m done visiting this series.

I’m loving the way Shannon and Brad interact these days. Actually I’m loving how Shannon is starting to show some maturity.

I think everyone who has paid any attention to the natural word around them for the last 40 years would be able to think of a few things that have changed in their local environment in that time frame. 40 years ago the sound of the birds greeting the morning sun would waken me early in the morning announcing the new day. Snakes, frogs, toads, fireflies, wild rabbits, etc. would be a common sight in my yard. Today I can go a couple days at a time without hearing a single bird singing. The wild animals have mainly disappeared or are much rarer then they were. These things tell me our environment has degraded. given the lack of major ecological disasters in this part of the world, it seems obvious to me that humanity is the cause of many of these changes. I don’t find the concept that we are affecting the environment far fetched and that may very well include the climate as the weather patterns have also shifted dramatically in that same 40 years. I have old photos showing me as a 8 year old standing atop snowbanks next to hydro wires on 20 foot poles. Now even the deepest snowbanks are maybe half that height and the snow melts within a couple days instead of lasting for months. It’s possible the climatologists have exaggerated their claims to a certain degree to get the attention of the media and to get information about climate change to the people, but unfortunately in our culture unless you are screaming and doing everything possible to get noticed you are ignored.

PLEASE don’t go political with a lesson on climate change!!! I’ve read Luann (since the beginning of your comic strip!) and support you in order to enjoy getting away from all that! Please!

Please stop this political correctness!

Pretty astonishing how many comments display belief that global warming/climate change does not exist, or is not a problem.

Yeah, I know. Making that statement is ‘spreading hate’.

Distressing to see Luann turn political. Climate alarmists are brainwashing our children with garbage. The same people that predict global warming predicted an ice age was coming back in the 1970s. Then they predicted we would run out of oil by the late 90’s. Scientists agree to it so they can get grants and favors. You’ll notice they always want to shut up people who disagree and say the science is “settled” because their alarmist claims can’t stand up to scrutiny. It’s all about money and control..carbon credits..smog checks etc..all ways to take your money. anyways… Happy Easter Everyone!

no more shannon —-this isn’t even funny.

Shannon tiene más conciencia que Donald Trump. Felices pascuas.

To ALL my friends here:

https://zeezoey.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/easter.jpg

The country isn’t the globe. Not even in control of most of the greenhouse gas.

Actually Shannon, the Senate and the House of Representatives are co- equal with the President and hopefully, there will soon be incentive and the power to actually slow down global warming like when Obama was President! Good luck, future generations!

tomorrow: Tiffany’s “plan” unfolds, and Les is amazed!

BRAVO!

(My note to the Evanses.)

Keep politics out of my comics, please!

There is a very good PBS show on how people around the world worked together successfully to protect the ozone layer. It COULD be done again IF people decided to give a damn.

Fake news invades Luan. I’m out of here!

Well at least Gunther dating a Black girl did not seem to offend too many people. Otherwise I might just say we have a long, long way to go in this country. Don’t worry firebreathing conservo’s or libero’s or libertino’s Luannverse will be back tomorrow.

G&K are showing there political correctness.

The word “incomplete” kept coming to my mind upon most of my readings of this cartoon.

Well, that was disappointing. Does Luann turn into an editorial cartoon frequently?

The Bad News:

If we mail this, Secret Service agents will arrive to arrest you for making the Orange Julius unhappy.

We don’t use the AC much in summer, nor the heater much in winter. We dress according to the temperature. We recycle. We have good insulation on our house. We use LEDs, but keep them turned off most of the time. We don’t drive much—stay at home. We haven’t been on a plane in years. We plant many trees—at least every year, we buy a new one. Some of them are getting very big and provide shade for us. We don’t blame the President for things that are not his fault. God is in charge. Happy Easter.

Anybody bloviator’s here notice that tomorrow is EARTH DAY???!!!

Poor Shannon. Uncle Brad is a public employee in the state of California….

Ah man, leave the politics out of this strip. Because that is exactly what this is — politics espousing a hoax. … and our children are being brainwashed into believing this hoax so that politicians can gain more power over the citizens, restricting freedoms more and more.

There are two major sets of data out there regarding the temperature of the planet. The older one consists of readings from major cities for decades, supplemented more recently (the last 60 or so years) from smaller sites, and also (finally) from the ocean: it shows warming. The newer one, starting in 1979, comes from satellites scanning the temperature over the ENTIRE world: it shows no discernible warming.

I choose to believe the one that measures the entire globe.

Oh well, one more fun little thing polluted by politics.

The President doesn’t have that much power.

Comic foul. Blatant political statement without even the slightest attempt at humor. 20 yard penalty. If it happens again, comic will be relegated to the bit bucket.

Thank you for this strip. It so needs to be said. My daughter in Alaska had bushes blooming in the dark in January two years ago because it was warmer there than Florida that day. Climate change is real.
