      The Pontiff is going to PWND him with a, "Down low - TOO SLOW!"

    2. straffinrun   10 years ago

      Which one's the PoPe?

  4. Mrs. Lemuel Struthers   10 years ago

    It's a good thing they renamed it to GCC because a new "discovery" suggest things may get colder instead of warmer

    The effect of VOCs in the air is to cool the climate down, and thus climate models used today predict more warming than can actually be expected. Indeed, global temperatures have actually been stable for more than fifteen years, a circumstance which was not predicted by climate models and which climate science is still struggling to assmilate.

    VOCs such as isoprene are known to be a powerful factor in the climate, as they cause the formation of aerosol particles. Some kinds of aerosol, for instance black soot, warm the world up: but the ones resulting from VOCs actually cool it down substantially by acting as nuclei for the formation of clouds. It has previously been suggested that production of VOCs by pine forests could be a negative feedback so powerful that it "limits climate change from reaching such levels that it could become really a problem in the world."

    With the discovery of the new abiotic sea process, the idea that cutting carbon emissions may not be all that urgent is looking stronger. That's probably good news, as it has emerged lately that efforts to cut carbon emissions to date are having the unfortunate side effect of poisoning us all.

      CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER!!! BURN THE HERETIC!!

      No, wait, that will release too much CO2.....STONE THE HERETIC!!!!

    2. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      Cooling... Warming... It doesn't matter. Unless it's sunny and 72.5 degrees everywhere on the plane, WE MUST DO SOMETHING!!!!

      Liberals are never wrong, don't ya know.

      1. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

        *Planet.

  5. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

    Who's the old woman with the beehive on the right?

    1. Princess Trigger   10 years ago

      The cross tats on her cheeks make me think she's a straight edger.
      Fucking hated straight edgers - back in the day.

    2. Hugh Akston   10 years ago

      That's Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League. Not sure why he's always wearing the pope's hat.

    3. Slammer   10 years ago

      I don't know, but her armpit hair is so long it's growing through her clothing!

    Pope Francis: "We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and the invisible hand of the market"

    The Pope doesn't want us to trust unseen forces.

    *Posted this on an overnight thread, but I like getting a rise out of NGCC.

    1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

      "a rise out of NGCC"

      A rise out of the Starship Enterprise?! Oh wait, that was NCC1701...

          1. gaijin   10 years ago

            ewww!

    2. BigT   10 years ago

      Awesome in its irony! As is the following, coming from the man who reformed the Vatican bank as his most (only?) useful act to date:

      "One cause of this situation is found in our relationship with money, since we calmly accept its dominion over ourselves and our societies. "

      And his libertarian roots may be showing in this conundrum:

      "In effect, ethics leads to a God who calls for a committed response which is outside of the categories of the marketplace. When these latter are absolutized, God can only be seen as uncontrollable, unmanageable, even dangerous, since he calls human beings to their full realization and to freedom from all forms of enslavement."

      1. gaijin   10 years ago

        to freedom from all forms of enslavement.

        death is freedom...when God call us to full realization?

  7. jester   10 years ago

    Yes. But has climate ever appeared in a tortilla? Or a piece of toast?

  8. straffinrun   10 years ago

    Probably get lynched for this, but I liked this, Bok.

    1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

      The David Lynch Mob is assembled

      3. egould310   10 years ago

        Log Lady.

  9. BigT   10 years ago

    OK, except should be labeled Global Warming, since who doesn't believe in climate. Don't let the Prog-fascists control the language.

  10. Dark Lord of the wood chipper   10 years ago

    Shouldn't the Pope be in favor of global warming? I mean, cold is God's way of telling us to burn more Catholics.

    1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

      +2 Whiteadders

    2. invisible furry hand   10 years ago
