   Still hasn’t come to that just yet, Calvin.

   No place on the planet worth fighting for! I fear, they will fight for this “NO” !

   Wars will begin between small countries over water as droughts begin due to climate change. Just the snow melting off of mountains prematurely will reduce the water that was stored as snow in the past, creating a battle ground over what’s left. Calvin’s growing up and doesn’t know it.

   Calvin, I fear that my daughters will grow up in the world you describe. How sad I feel when I think about it.

   And no, I am not a Eco freak, but nobody can debate that the world has changed dramatically over the last few decades - human involvement or not!

   And then, turns out that ecofreaks from 30 years ago were right…

   “Acid rain, toxic waste, holes in the ozone layer, sewage in the oceans and war after war after war after … … If you take what Calvin says and analyze it, you find that this planet wouldn’t be such a bad place to live if you only got rid of the humans.

   Aaah, the earth knows, it is just warming to prevent another ice age, see?

    It already isn’t Calvin .. Nobody lives forever .. but few realise that ..

    jrbj: It would help if the humans remembered why they were put in the ecosystem in the first place.

    Calvin reads the newspaper? :-D

    His editorial does make one reflect…

    (thanks Bill)

    i’d think hobbs would be more worried about where his next can of tuna was coming form

    Nothing will stop humans from fighting amongst themselves. Sad.

    Sometimes six-year-olds display a wisdom that we adults too often lack.

    ah yes, just as long as that vast wastland has an american flag fluttering over it it will be worth it

    Calvin is getting to sound like Al Gore. God help us all.

22. 

    schlachthoffunf said, 25 days ago

    Indeed, Calvin is starting to sound like Al Gore, a politician whose environmental interests defy political boundaries, and a man who jointly won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change… Yes, God help us all educate our children like Calvin for the sake of humanity and the environment (which some people choose to separate, but which are inherently entwined).

    What a comfort, Calvin.

    I’m still waiting for global warming to kick in here in Michigan, I guess we forgot to pay our heat bill.

    Under the New World Order the cartels will provide for us and keep us safe.

    Susan001 said, 25 days ago

    As with all earlier life forms in the history of this planet, the human race will eventually become extinct.
    The question is: is the human race itself pushing its way toward early extinction?

    bmonk said, 25 days ago

    Looking at Haiti and Rwanda, it seems that the worse the ecology, the more the locals are willing to fight and kill to survive. So Calvin (and all of us) might be in trouble…

    You know this is an older strip. No mention of greenhouse gases, global warming or global climate change.
    But they talk about acid rain. when is the last time you heard anything about acid rain?

30. 

    Gweedo Murray said, 25 days ago

    The acid rain has been neutralized by all this other stuff.

    What is Hobbes thinking? :-D (Can someone please rub my tummy…?)

    Stede_Bonnet said, 25 days ago

    Reminds me of a recent NYTimes article about how American’s are becoming increasingly skeptical about whether global warming really exists. (See: http://tinyurl.com/yz366xm)

    But of course, this is the same population in which a large percentage believe that evolution is just a “theory”, the moon landings were faked, Oswald did not act alone, aliens landed at Roswell, Elvis and Jim Morrison faked their deaths and are still alive and living on a desert island somewhere and Obama is an illegal muslim immigrant with a fake birth certificate whose entire goal is to destroy America.

    We really are a STUPID lot. Is it really any wonder that America’s stock has fallen so far in the market of international opinion?

    Stuart Gathman said, 25 days ago

    @stede - you equivocate on the term “evolution”. Evolution in the form of Natural Selection is not just a theory, it is directly observed today. Evolution as the origin of the species is a well formed, falsifiable theory with both ample evidence for it and unexplained mysteries. Evolution as the origin of life is mostly speculation. Intelligent Design (which does not require anything supernatural) is a competing theory for the origin of life on Earth (not for the first two kinds of evolution).

    You also are trying “guilt by association”, by mixing the claims you wish to denigrate without any work with claims that are widely accepted as silly.

    You are doing the strawman thing by misrepresenting the claims you wish to denigrate - for instance the Democratic lawyer making the Obama claims has a much less extreme position than you make out - one that is consistent with the characterization given by Obama himself that the ruckus is about a “technicality” (the laws defining “natural born” are defined by congress, are complex, change from year to year, and require a specialized lawyer to apply to unusual cases like Obama and McCain).

    It’s gets worse Calvin. Global Warming, climate change, terrorist attacks, and no more economy.

    We can only hope it won’t be worth fighting for.

    I think back to Pogo who said, “We have seen the enemy and he is us.”

    If you don’t think the world climate is changing rapidly, come to northern Canada and see for yourself.

    deep. war and pollution. great the way he manages to put them both in the strip like that.

    @stede - 308 million Americans and you’ve popped most of them squarely on the head.

    @stuart - You’ve identified some subtle flaws in Stede’s propostion. The problem is that most Americans are too stupid to understand subtley. They form entire ideologies around one or two misunderstood propositions voiced by some loud mouth politician, preacher or radio pundit.

    Thought in America is obsolete.

    tonytiger29 said, 24 days ago

    Thought is not obsolete in America. It’s just that all the idiots seem to get the air time. They’re the first ones to push forward and scream “look at me”.

    Don’t forget Pastafarianism (which does not require anything scientific or supernatural) as competing theory for the origin of life on Earth! It’s important to teach our children not to discriminate on the basis of facts, belief, race, creed, color, clarity, sex or calorie content! May you all be touched by FSM’s noodly appendage!
