Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 01, 2019

Any ladyfingers on that boat?

This comic strip is my favorite since Pogo and Dick Tracy.

Well Wiley Bears with Climate Change all of you will be moving into the cities for meals and what a variety you will have.

Looks like it’s MacDarwinbergers for lunch.

That’s a boat load that never evolved.

If you fly, drive, buy anything not made/grown within walking distance, bathe, or breed, then you, yes you! are on the boat. Welcome to the cruise.

I don’t care who you are, if you get on a boat titled S.S. Darwin, you deserve what you get. Hopefully you take the whole family to make it truly legitimate.

I think the people on the boat will out last the polar bears given there are more people than polar bears. We are destroying their habitat faster than their non existent impact on ours.

“A 3 hour tour, a 3 hou….AAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH! “Chomp…Chomp…Chomp….”

Civilizations rise and fall. Things change and people change them. For better or worse it is the way it is. Do the best you can to do the best you can is the best you can do.

Funny, but in the real world this is what tends to happen:

It’s not that this is climate change, it’s about it being man-made.

This is the first time I have seen Shit’s Creek pictured with ice floes, and I don’t see any paddles.

We are ALL on the same boat, it’s named “Planet Earth”. And everything we do has negative or positive effects on the whole orb. But I figure every little or big thing we do for the good of Earth, is a help towards saving it. Just do what you can, to the extent you can and be mindful of how you can do better!!! And please, don’t get all holier-than-thou about how much you can do, but maybe try and help others do better too?

The naysayers point to the fact that there is debate about climate change among scientists and they are partly right. There is debate, but the debate isn’t about whether it is real, it’s about how severe it is.

And while we argue whether man caused it or not, it is still happening and nobody in power is considering that.

What fools these mortals be.

This is drawn just off the California coast.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/

Exxon remained publicly convinced that the science was still controversial.

Furthermore, experts agree that Exxon became a leader in campaigns of confusion.

By 1989 the company had helped create the Global Climate Coalition (disbanded in 2002) to question the scientific basis for concern about climate change.

~~

“We included a memo of a coalition of fossil-fuel companies where they pledge basically to launch a big communications effort to sow doubt,” says union president Kenneth Kimmel.

“There’s even a quote in it that says something like ‘Victory will be achieved when the average person is uncertain about climate science.’ So it’s pretty stark.”

~~

Since then, Exxon has spent more than $30 million on think tanks that promote climate denial, according to Greenpeace.

Coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler confirmed in the senate as Trump’s new head of the Environmental Protection Agency yesterday. Well, of course he was. Keep it up, Republicans and we will all be passengers in the S.S. Darwin before long.

There is more to this than Wiley’s caption states.

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

DD Wiz: how do you power your house when the sun goes down? wind or batteries?

I’m in favour of that. I have a list of other categories that should have a cruise on their own.

Time to fire up the snow blower and fight global cooling.

This 1988 Shell report, discovered by Jelmer Mommers of De Correspondent, shines light on what the company knew about climate science, its own role in driving global CO2 emissions, the range of potential political and social responses to a warming world.

The confidential report, “The Greenhouse Effect,” was authored by members of Shell’s Greenhouse Effect Working Group and based on a 1986 study, though the document reveals Shell was commissioning “greenhouse effect” reports as early as 1981. Report highlights include:

A thorough review of climate science literature, including acknowledgement of fossil fuels’ dominant role in driving greenhouse gas emissions.

More importantly, Shell quantifies its own products’ contribution to global CO2 emissions.

A detailed analysis of potential climate impacts, including rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and human migration.

A discussion of the potential impacts to the fossil fuel sector itself, including legislation, changing public sentiment, and infrastructure vulnerabilities.

Shell concludes that active engagement from the energy sector is desirable.

A cautious response to uncertainty in scientific models, pressing for sincere consideration of solutions even in the face of existing debates.A warning to take policy action early, even before major changes are observed to the climate.

In short, by 1988 Shell was not only aware of the potential threats posed by climate change, it was open about its own role in creating the conditions for a warming world.

Similar documents by ExxonMobil, oil trade associations, and utility companies have emerged in recent years, though this Shell document is a rare, early, and concrete accounting of climate responsibility by an oil major.

This is no longer funny. The strip has just become a political forum for leftist drivel. So long!

Hey, we had a nice run. Now, it’s the cockroaches’ turn.

Why on Earth do we even consider the colonization of another planet such as Mars, or even the moon for that matter, when we have done such a miserable job of taking care of this one?

For all the reality deniers, Scott Adams blogs are that way -—>

Just remember, when you begin to have ice floe tsunamis, Wiley Bears can’t be far behind…

Is that the tug from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?Moon over Mar A Lago ;(

Oh boy, here’s dem Wiley Bears. Hope they enjoy their meal, LOL! Sad topic, though.

I wonder if this is the article from Washington Post, Feb. 11, 2019, which Wiley references:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/11/mass-invasion-polar-bears-is-terrorizing-an-island-town-climate-change-is-blame/?utm_term=.154b245a8777

Pollution? https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/feb/25/concrete-the-most-destructive-material-on-earth

Hey, aren’t you supposed to be hibernating? Guess that’s something else we got wrong.

Sweet, juicy justice

I believe this video says it best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JhaVNJb3ag

Deniers and the polar bears in the comic are thriving. Dude, think!

Shouldn’t that be: SS Darwin Award

“Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.”

― Robert Heinlein

It’s the climate alarmists who always go to the arctic to see that the ice has all melted only to have their boat ice-bound.

Most deniers wouldn’t bother going except to see the aurora.

BTW. I’m a denier. I deny the Earth is flat. I deny the Earth is only a few thousand years old and I deny that there is some kind of catastrophic climate change going on due to human fossil fuel burning. In all cases the reason is simple: actual SCIENCE says otherwise.

Strictly speaking the ship should be the SS Samuel Wilberforce, in honor of the Anglican minister who led the British war on evolution by natural selection from the beginning to his death. Denial of the reality of evolution goes hand-in-hand with denial of climate change, as several posters here have demonstrated. Regressives are the heart and soul of the GOP, capable of putting an imbecile into the Oval Office because he shares their ignorance and prejudices.

Oh boy…

Climate change is the biggest scam since the Y2K bug scam.

Question. In the climate change religion is there any time to study what the Creator has to say about the weather?

You do realize this is 10,000 years in the future. As well as we are now just coming off the last fourth ice age. Things change. The world will turn, we will adapt. At least those of us who do not panic.

Thank you, Wiley.

Love that you all have so much time to spend on a comic strip comment thread. However, the main problem is and always will be overpopulation.

Grilled polar bears. Problem solved.
