The problem is the words we use. We should be referring to Climate Change, not Global Warming.
Global Warming gives the wrong impression, that it’s just going to keep getting warmer and warmer until we can’t live here anymore. Using this phrase is fun for those who don’t believe in it, or don’t care because they can just keep talking about how ridiculous it is.
Climate Change, on the other hand, could be a real threat. It’s cold where it used to be hot and hot where it used to be cold. It rains where it used to be dry and so on. Personally I don’t think we are causing it, this kind of thing has been going on since the world began. But I’m afraid we’re making it worse.
Any chance for us to do anything about it is much less because people insist on calling it ‘Global Warming’ and adding confusion to the issue.
Sorry Luggage - Walt made the comment on Global Warming, I thought I was discussing the comic.
I agree with Roverboy. I get the comic via e-mail, mostly because I don’t have time to read the site when school is in. But also because I prefer the B&W. But coming to the site and getting the color version is a nice treat.
I’m hoping for a dream sequence. Axe is usually pretty good on predicting these things. I don’t see Walt dieing at all. Maybe fading off into the sunset and going to the Old Comic Strip Home, but dieing? No. That’s when I quit following it. Walt is the thread which ties this all together. You can’t have Lil’ Orphan Annie without Annie, or Dick Tracy without Dick. It would not be Gasoline Alley without Walt Wallet somewhere in the mix.
