Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 16, 2016

Looking more dire now.

Any little girl bush? I need to use it.

One way or another we are gonna do ourselves in, either in the name of greed or God.

And the beat goes on :-)

How many times are you going to peddle that LIE! filled hyper-partisan website? Anyone who has a functioning brain already knows that site is riddled with falsehoods, manipulations of the truth, misrepresentation of the facts and outright LIES! So the ONLY people left are the easily duped dumb masses who need sumthin ta support there already made up minds. No thought or analysis needed or allowed.

Don’t squeeze the Charmin!

Yes Verne, humans will figure it out. They just won’t care enough to do anything about it.

Don’t worry, you’ll get another chance. Oh. . . You mean on this planet? Um. . . . .

I am concerned that it will be resolved by nuclear winter…

“If we have nuclear weapons, why can’t we use them?”

Is it necessary to introduce political bias into EVERY comic strip?

NPR’s Hidden Brain podcast has a good piece this month about the psychological dynamic behind climate change, and why humans won’t change it.

As the Mendenhall glacier recedes it’s exposing an ancient forest. Apparently it used to be warm there 1000 years ago. Who do we blame for that?

So far the Man-made Global Warming theory has resulted in more efficient cars (I like getting 40mpg with plenty of power), more manufacturing jobs (high pressure fuel pumps, variable cams, dual injector, and hybrid systems), diversified electricity supply, reduced landfill growth, more engineering jobs… I don’t know if it’s real or not, but going along has been remarkably beneficial.

And, by the way, it’s not a hoax; hoaxes are deliberate, there is solid science behind the models that predict it. My doubt comes from working with such complex models, they can’t include everything and so can be wrong.
