   I figure scottfritos will be here to rant a little, eventually.

   I gotta agree about the whole wondering if it is really November - yesterday (Sat.) in Buffalo it reached 63 and today it is predicted that the high will be 61!!! If most of the leaves weren’t off the tress, I wouldn’t believe that it is November.

   Well in the southern hemisphere, at around 38 degrees south, in Melbourne, we’re in the middle of a run of about 7 predicted days over 30 (centrigrade) which hasn’t happened in November since 1902. I’m not looking forward to summer this year!

   It was warm here yesterday too and supposed to be today as well but then it’s getting cold. So we’re enjoying it while it lasts.

   @Michle, I read the strip three times before I noticed them. In my opinion, their significance is:

   
   

   1. Notice how easy it is to miss something if it’s not emphasized;

   
   

   2. They migrated north awfully fast - I mean, if they’re encouraged by global warming, this is ridiculous!

   
   

   3. Will all our trees lose all their foliage that’s below, say, 8 feet? And what other changes are to come?

   
   

   I read that grizzly bears and polar bears are genetically the same. They can interbreed. And guess which the cubs are? Well, considering that they never even meet their father, and their mother teaches them all about hunting, etc., what do you think?

   And the comment was made that grizzly bears wouldn’t be particularly affected by global warming, because they eat many different kinds of food. Polars bears basically eat seals. Now if they were taught how to catch fish, that might save them from starving!

   Anybody care to volunteer to show them how?

    We’re watching a hurricane make its way into the Gulf of Mexico. Is it really November?

    The giraffes signal that climate change is happening more rapidly and that these folk suddenly find themselves living in the savannah. Thus, better water the lawn. the jury on climate change is no longer out. It’s happening. Let’s make the necessary fixes to halt it now.

    The climate changes and we can do nothing to cause it or prevent it. Any of you ever see a wooly mamoth? Besides here in San Antonio were in the mddle of a cold spell. Not supposed to get above 75 today. They say by December we may have to switch from sandels to tennis shoes

    Ashamed as I am to admit I live in SC, I have to report that we actually turned on the heat 2 nights ago - got clear down to the low 40s- hi 30’s.

    Those who say man can not effect climate changes are those who do not read history… Man has several times made significant changes to an area… . the dust bowl of the 30’s is one example… it was fixed by liberal thinking… Use conture plowing.. the conservites said it was hogwash…till it worked…. I suggest people look up the ‘bread basket’ of Rome and what happened when Rome fell and bedouins began dramatically increasing their wealth (Goats) what was once verdent pasture became a part of the Sahara dessert… Increased the size of the desert between 10 and 15%… and with desert instead of medows the heat thermals caused a shift in the prevailing winds to move the rain that had kept the land green a few degrees to the north thus increaseing the problem. I learned about this in history class at Hillsdale College back in the 70’s before any of todays debate about the problem. This was just men with goats…….

    The polar bears survived when Greenland was much warmer than it is today, when the Vikings were able to raise crops there and settled the place. They’ll do fine.

    As for there being a “consensus among scientists” regarding Global Warming, or anything else – read up on the Scientific Method sometime. It talks about a lot of things, but polling scientists to find out what they think is NOT part of it, nor is voting. Those are POLITICAL acts, not SCIENCE.

    Global warming does not mean warm weather, it means more severe weather. The hot gets hotter and the cold gets colder.

    I had snow on October 15… we had an overnight temp of 49 back in mid July… not warm here in northwest NJ

    Listen to those “scientists”. They could be scientists in Ivy League Colleges, scientists who invented Napalm, or even political scientists.It doesn’t matter what their field, they know better. Think of the Professor on Gilligan’s Island. He knew everything

    Every year in Seattle it starts raining in earnest about November 1st. The last four days we’ve had three inches of rain. More predicted. Seeing the sun in November? Doesn’t happen.

    History is full of major weather extremes, not to mention people always claiming that their time in history was the verge of doomsday. With our short life spans, people seem to always think that the droughts, storms and other major events are very unique to their time.

    As has been mentioned, there was a time of major global warming over 1000 years ago, when there was decades of very warm weather and things like England being able to grow wine grapes that rivaled those of France, or icy Greenland was able to support a thriving Viking community.

    Of course, what the Climate Change people have is their religion, which they use to try to silence any opposition, which they can use to bash America and which they can use to help further the power grab by the far left.

    And it’s so funny that the big Climate Change cheerleaders, like Gore, other fellow super rich liberal politicians and Hollywood elite, fly around in their private jets, have their multiple mansions, each of which, even with “energy saving lightbulbs” use more energy than the homes of a dozen families, etc., while they tell we ordinary people that WE need to sacrifice to save the Earth!

    What a bunch of pathetic hypocrites! But that’s what you get with leftists- lies, distortion of the truth, hypocrisy, elitist arrogance and total double standards, with them telling everyone else how to live, while they wallow in excess and waste!

    Disgusting!

    shadowwriter said, 12 days ago

    Giraffes? Its cold where I am, today is nicer, but it was freezing yesterday. Meh, about global warming, could be natural, but we’re certainly not helping things, and everyone is a hypocrite, not just whoever you consider as leftists.

    ReFlex-76 said, 12 days ago

    Well, we got one Fact Denier in “Roger” over here, down to a disingenuous “disgusting” at the end!

    Hey “Roger,” check to see that Al Gore’s “mansion” gets its power from Tennessee’s Green Powerswitch clean energy program; it’s not a matter of cutting our energy use so much as using smart energy!

    Oh, and “Climate Change Cheerleader”? That’s be the oil industry, Al Gore’s leading the charge against climate change!

    We built Hoover Dam to stop the Colorado River from flooding downstream (and got a load of clean hydroelectric power to boot), we can alter the “natural” climate change that threatens us.

    Of course, watering your lawn isn’t really that great a use of natural resources, either…

    I’ll bet we’re bashing “YOUR” America, aren’t we, Roger? I certainly don’t think we are bashing everyone else’s America. It HAS been a while, though, since I got to wallow in excess and waste. Wipe the spittle off your chin and throw some cold water on your face…

    I got to love that they now say “global warming doesn’t mean just warming” It did until it didn’t happen. Now it means what ever they need it to mean. Yes bad farming pracdtices during a normal drought cycle caused the dust bowl. But that was a local not global event. I like that you said Liberals fixed it. Actualy it was cured by it finaly rainning and big farming business that had to find out what to do right so they could make a profit farming the land.

    ReFlex-76 said, 11 days ago

    “They” say “global warming doesn’t mean just warming” because … it doesn’t!

    A more correct term for Climate Change would be “Global Weirding,” like snow in South Africa. Part of it would also mean much colder winters in Europe. See, the Greenland Ice Shelf melting would disrupt the Gulf Stream, which carries warm water to Europe from the Caribbean, but that’s just another aspect.

    would people just lighten up! These are cartoons for COMEDY. Laugh and stop putting political bleeep where it doesn’t belong. Go somewhere else with that BS.

    pschearer said, 11 days ago

    Vasgar: You read the comics for what you want, we’ll read the comics for what we want. Same for writing comments. Of course, you could always stop reading the comments.

    As for climate change, it has always changed regardless of human activities. And humans have always adapted and always will.

    The earth’s climate changes in cycles. This is nothing new. Someone just figured out that money and Nobel Peace prizes could be attained by exploiting it.

32. 

    ReFlex-76 said, 11 days ago

    Sure, climate changes, it always changes, and changes in cycles; the problem comes when it becomes more and more clear humans are responsible for a significant part of it.

    Sure, humans adapt, but not before a few million people have died; sometimes it’s better to make nature adapt to you than it is to adapt to nature (see Hoover Dam!). “Damming” atmospheric CO2 levels at 300-350 ppb is a good goal!

    At least this is acknowledgment it’s happening; some are so deep in denial they won’t even do that!

    Cute. Except the whole “we had freaking record setting snowfall in the northeast 3 weeks ago” thing.

    Leave the preaching to Gore a O’Blama.
