Fox "news’ viewers don’t believe in evolution or climate change, but they do believe in Job Creators. And Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist, of course.
When was the last time you heard a report on climate change on Fox News? There are 135 climate change deniers in congress, all Republicans. They need to either study the science or be driven out of positions of importance. A carbon tax to make damaging the planet less profitable would be the conservative solution.
Hmmm…So the cartoon is saying Weber-Stephen barbecues are single-handedly responsible for global warming (aka climate change)? Seems somewhat libelous, Mr. Bennett.
Mhic: Use a few Fritos for tinder (better than gasoline!) and you’ll never need more than one match!
Toon is great! BTW, my meter reader was just here, and our “new” house (for us) built in 1976 to use passive solar used less than half the electricity, even with some A/C in near 100 degree temps, use by our neighbor’s, with a smaller house, , and they are also only a couple. It’s called “conservation of energy”. We plan to upgrade insulation some more over orgiinal and install some underground piping for a heat pump system to increase efficiency further from the original design.
It’s called “walk the walk”, and yes anthropgenic climate change IS real and we CAN do practical things to decrease the amount of damage, even with increasing population, AND we can still maintain rational “lifestyle” and comfort! (Sshhh, don’t tell deniers conned by the “energy” read fossil fuel, industries!)
BTW, we’re now in an electric co-op, and our rate is only about a third per KWH of our former “user friendly” CORPORATE provider!! AND, the co-op uses “green” resources as well!
Hmm, as a note on “observation skills”: Mhic spoke of starting a CAMP fire, and I cited the power of Fritos. Typical of the “denier camp” is that they never note either details, or the facts, running in the wrong direction from the evidence, every time.
As to their argument, their “facts” would indeed fit in a single Webber kettle, while there IS an entire planet of facts out there dealing with ocean acidity, species destruction, glacier and ice loss, droughts, floods, forest loss, desertification, and many other physical and biological proofs that anthropogenic CLIMATE change, and yes, GLOBAL warming is very, very, real!

If only man had never harnessed the power of fire. I think the whole thing is Prometheus’s fault.

Fairy tales? Next, you’re going to claim there are no Job Creators.
