It's only -5 C in Winnipeg right now. If you know anything about Winnipeg, -5 C in January is loving balmy. We're usually hitting lows of around -30C on Average at this time of year, with highs hovering around no more than -15 or -10C.

Hell, at this time last year, I was wearing arctic trekking gear just so I could still feel my face after my ten minute walks to work on the especially cold nights. Now I'm walking to work in an open jacket and a sweater and little else in the way of protection.

So, yeah, I tend to let out a depressed sigh every time I see a "Cold=No Global Warming" cartoon. Especially when the cartoonist happens to be from someplace typically warm or mild during the winter, and the colder temperatures they may be experiencing is evidence itself of the effects of climate change.

Wouldn't the Earth being warmer lead to more evaporation in the places that aren't currently below freezing? Wouldn't that then mean there is more moisture in the atmosphere available to be turned into snow?

Ergo Global Warming = More Snow?

So what is it with conservative comics and Al gore anyway? it's not like he's the king of global warming becouse he made a quite good film.

CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose.

DOOCY: You do?

CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. Yeah, because I think it's an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter. Reading off complete script written for you with every word in a sentence, and here she's just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes it look as if she can just talk off the cuff and that she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went off to give a big, long speech.

DOOCY: I think she did -- I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time.

KILMEADE: But to sit there and look at -- do the interview and then look down at her hand, I think that is -- it's, like you said, Gretchen, before, folksy, absolutely. Down to earth. I can identify. But if you're going to write it on your hand, why not just say, staffer, can you hand me a card?

CARLSON: Like I say, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we may never know.

haha what "cover-ups" is he even talking about


unless he's just planning to make another dumb comic of record snowfalls COVERING UP stupid al gore and global warming

i've asked a few times but i've never had a conservative actually tell me what, exactly, the climate change 'agenda' is except to make al gore money or something

foobardog posted:

this is a true argument (in that it exists), but it's more the way they ensnare social conservatives. the real reason is always that poor ol' businesses might have to implement environmental regulations set by bad ol' government.

Y'know, we have Kelly as a parody of right-wing cartoonists. Are there any good parodies of Ted Rall's kind out there (aside from one-offs like the OBAMA = NEW HITLER comic)?

Would a person have to be a right-winger to regularly parody left-wing "alt" cartoonists

I actually kinda forgot why the "correct" conservative opinion to have about global warming is that it isn't real, someone remind me because it seems to me that it's just puerile "the liberals believe it so it can't be true" bitching
lmao

I'm starting to think that some of them, especially the ones who just happen to be in the employ of oil lobbies, know drat well that it's a lie they just think that it'll be manageable - at least for them - and the easiest way to go is to pretend the problem doesn't exist.

Predictions given the news of the day:

- Day-by-day characters being outraged that liberals would try to connect the plane attack to conservatives, when clearly only liberals can hate America.

- Same for Asay.

- Cartoon with Airplane with stuck accelerator made by Toyota.

- Cartoon depicting Airplane crashing into Building as analogy for Obama being weak on terror.

- Cartoon depicting Obama flying an airplane into a building labeled "America" or some such.

I'm cynical enough to believe that DBD or Asay will portray the pilot as the first heroic casualty in the war on taxes.

There's also the question of 'who gives a poo poo what the 'original' intent was if the founding fathers wanted us to have slaves would you be for bringing back slavery?

Starshark posted:

I didn't do in-depth research on the founding fathers and slavery but my understanding was they thought it was a lesser-of-two-evils necessity that would die the death eventually. I seem to remember someone saying something like, "the negroes are destined to be free." Jefferson used to go on like that depending on who was listening (eg the enlightenment philosophers in France he was trying to impress).

So it's possible that their original intent, if we want to go there, was 'slaves for now but not forever.' But like I said, I haven't read up on that area.
