Tired of "politically correct?" Want an editorial cartoon that is quick to call out the bumblings of U.S. politics and cuts slack to no one? Pulitzer-Prize winner Ben Sargent is paying attention and making Washington have second thoughts about that little thing called the First Amendment.

The most important thing is to pump as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as fast as possible. Anything else is, you know, business strangling government regulations.

Turn off all the volcanoes too while you’re at it.

Dino, in the background, was Long gone before man came along. Just remember the last thing we has was “global cooling”.

Why don’t republicans ignore scientific proof. Why at least, do they risk it?
or why does it even matter why?
If we can make it better,
then we should make it better,
even if it was caused by dragon snot?

The fact that many people choose to ignore science does not hide the fact that science exists. All ignorance carries a price. Willful ignorance is usually more costly.

Once upon a time, about 10,000 years ago, primitive troglodytes planted grain. The grain transformed the solar rays beating down upon it into calories. Of course, those troglodytes and their domestic animals had to input calories to plough, plant, weed, and harvest, but they got far more calories out of the grain than they put in.
Modern man is not so barbaric. Modern man inputs far more calories (from fossil fuels) into the crops than are extracted from those crops. Without those fossil fuels inputting most of the calories, the world would lose most of its food supply.
So it’s fortunate that, as Nocera of the New York Times tells us, the world produces far more fossil fuel each year than we consume. There are plenty more dinosaurs where the one in the cartoon came from.
Or we could bioengineer triffids which would supply all the oil we need, and which grow efficiently without requiring any energy for ploughing or sowing. In fact, I think triffids are the perfect plant, with absolutely no drawbacks.

BTW: just as “global cooling” WAS what killed off the dinosaurs as the result of a collision with an asteroid, our pumping of chemicals into the atmosphere causing warming is no less dangerous for the survival of species. Remember, folks, plants are dying off in many areas, “weather” cycles ARE changing, and reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, and many species we depend on for survival ARE at risk, but hey, who cares about the Endangered Species Act? Until humans stand at the head of the list, profit will remain more important to many folks.

That’s funny! You may be able to play checkers with that logic.

You’re absolutely right. The fossil record has numerous periods of industrial activity that proves global warming is a hoax! Damn, I just created a Fox News talking point.
