Shouldn't that be a green mosque?

He appointed himself king, professor, economist, super-hero, judge, weatherman, etc... I guess he could appoint himself "Reverend".

  It worked for Sharpton, sooo.. why not?
straffinrun 10 years ago

Yeah, good one. Anyways, here's something for you wake n bakers.

  Nice idea for a short art film -- but do you have any idea how much carbon he released driving around Tokyo like that?

It is an apocalyptic cult.
1. Gweskoyen 10 years ago
  
  Apocalyptic cults usually don't try to *prevent* existential risks.
  1. Libertarian 10 years ago
    
    I like where this is headed. Please, go on.......
  2. Pathogen 10 years ago
    
    Ahhh.. that's the beauty of it.. Politicians and others have no intention of *preventing* the coming apocalypse, they merely want to throw our money at the "problem", and fundamentally alter our way of life.. and curtail ~200 of human progress. According to their Top Men, we crossed the AGW Rubicon a decade ago, and we are all doomed any way..

      Everything that we do uses energy. By controlling energy (since it's production is killing the planet) then they can control every nuance of our lives. It's not about money; it's about power. Total power and control over everyone and everything. Remember Orwell: power is not a means; it is an end.

So something that is consensus with scientists is likened to a church, and for some reason Obama is cast as representative.

Bullshit.
1. straffinrun 10 years ago
  
  I think you don't know what fat tail risk is.

  I guess you missed the part where the Messiah started to heal the Earth.
  1. Swiss Servator, Nierezeit! 10 years ago
    
    +1 this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal

      Trigger warning! I'm trying to eat here.
3. Pathogen 10 years ago
  
  But.. he's a Noble laureate.. how could you dismiss his achievements so casually? Apostate!
4. Swiss Servator, Nierezeit! 10 years ago
  
  "So something that is consensus with scientists"
  
  B-
  
  the "consensus = science and proof and stuff" has been overdone. Try again.
5. WTF 10 years ago
  
  Science is not done by consensus, and anything that is not falsifiable, like AGW, is not science.
  1. sarcasmic 10 years ago
    
    But those scientists are like really smart and stuff! And they voted! They voted! Voting is magic!

  The idea that we can "fix" the climate by giving the government complete control of the economy is whackier than anything I've ever heard from a snake handler.

Hurricanes and pestilence and locusts?

Hurricanes and pestilence and locusts?

Hurricanes and pestilence and locusts - oh my!

Hillary's pantsuits are spreading.
1. Fist of Etiquette 10 years ago
  
  Tim Russert said the same thing.

    eeeeeewwwww!

It's June 5, and it was about 58 degrees when I left the house this morning. How's that "global warming" working out for y'all?
1. sarcasmic 10 years ago
  
  Dude, that's just weather, and everyone knows that weather isn't climate. Now if it was 100 degrees then that would be a climate event, because it fits the narrative. But when it doesn't then it's just weather. Silly denier. Everyone knows this.

    Yeah; one of my podcast feeds had this:
    
    Flash floods on the rise - Prof Iain White
    
    The floods we've seen in Dunedin and Wellington will become more common because of increased urbanisation and climate change. Professor Iain White, an international expert on water management from Waikato University, joins us to discuss why it's getting worse, and what could be done to alleviate floods in the future.

A step and fetch waiter holding a menu in front of a giant temple covered in graffiti and snakes and pubic bushes? This cartoon is AC level weird.
1. Swiss Servator, Nierezeit! 10 years ago
  
  Payne is a busy man - he doesn't have time to fill in and finish drawing and stuff like that!

Why are Henry Payne cartoons so much better than Chip Bok cartoons? It's a question like "Why is deep dish pizza so much better than all the alternatives?" it is self-evident.

  *warily eyes Pompey*
  1. Swiss Servator, Nierezeit! 10 years ago
    
    *basilisk stare at LH*

      *admires life-like statue*

Why is Al Green letting Obama preach at his church?

People have been drawing the "environmentalism = religion" comparison for decades.

This is some timely and original cartoonin', Payne.

  At least it wasn't Bok...?
sloopyinTEXAS 10 years ago

None of you pedants commented in the comma before the word and?

You're all slipping.
1. sloopyinTEXAS 10 years ago
  
  Also, no period at the end of the sentence. This is the grammatical version of low hanging fruit.
  
  Is everybody high or something?
Almanian! 10 years ago

I come here late and not ONE of you fucking losers

*SLAP!*

someone?

You are all dead to me, Reasonoids. Which is awful, therefore, perfect to Friday "Funnies". Fuck you all to hell.

that's just one piece of the Catechism of the progressive theocracy
