Scott Adams says through Dilbert what we have all been thinking lately…
Scott must read Climate Progress, where else would he get ideas like this?

The Sunday March 20th comic was also relevant:

Yup, just about says it all.
As the man said,
1 in 4 humans is an idiot,
look closely at your 3 best friends,
if they are OK,
find a mirror !
To tell a Skeptic from a Warmist is easy — the latter have no sense of humour whatever because they take themselves so seriously.
ROFL
The green breakthrough that the Greens really need is for them to discover that more CO2 makes the world greener.
How many climate skeptics does it take to change a light bulb?
None, it’s too early to say if the lightbulb needs changing.
The warmista crowd has just taken it to the next level.
The tide has definately turned. When people start mocking the greatest calamity to befall humanity.
The reliability one isn’t far off the mark.
I worked for a defense contractor as a lead design engineer [electronic] and we designed a communications system. I was responsible for one piece of equipment.
We did our designs to maximize performance with little consideration of reliability and submitted the parts list to the “reliability” department and they [the designs] failed to meet the requirements. We re-submitted the same parts lists and they miraculously passed.
Accounting was almost as bad. Money would come into and out of my “budget” seemingly randomly.
Sometimes Dilbert is so true that it is scary.
How many warmists does it take to change a light bulb?
None, they prefer to remain in the dark.
I told my friend Peter Bocking that I hoped this whole mess would end in ridicule, and not in anger, and he replied that too many had died already.
And he’s turned out right, after all. The deaths are tragic, but the lost fortunes have longer memories.

Well, yeah but they also blame the dark on anthropogenic CO2 emissions, declare those emissions to be pollution, determine schemes to either curtail or “balance” those emissions, claim the dark will cause cataclysmic future events, and using models, project that in 100 years or so they will have possibly eliminated 0.001% of the dark.

In the UK – none; you can’t buy 100w filament bulbs anymore – they are illegal because they cause “Globull Warming”. But……….. I have found a smashing little asian shop that sells them by the shedload – made in China. They are banging them out in millions! This is great because in this bloody freezing country 100w bulbs not only give the right amount of illumination, they also add some much needed heat.
God bless the Chinese!

That is so true. Actually engineers are sending him tips on what is going on out in the industry. And we recognise almost everything with scary timing!
EJ is kind of right, in a way. Just as millions died from malaria as a result of the DDT ban, so millions more will continue to needlessly die from the effects of extreme poverty as a result of us clamping down on any more affordable energy, now that we’ve got ours.
A great calamity indeed.

How big is your budget?
I worked for a commuter airline that was run by the aviation version of the Pointy-Haired Boss. His motto: “Gross income equals direct profit.” Well, we were told that
there was a new buyer for the airline, by the boss. Apparently he had his accountant
cook the books for the new buyer. At the meeting with the new buyer, he read the cooked books, and said “Geez I’d be fool to sell this thing, I’m setting on a gold mine!”
He-was-serious. I made money that summer working for a repo company collecting his
aircraft that got scattered around the Eastern Oregon and Washington….
Or you could go with:
How many climate skeptics does it take to change a light bulb?
None. It’s more cost-effective to live in the dark.
Dilbert’s been a classic from the word go. You may not work in that/> company, but they don’t half resemble the one you do work in!
The club of Rome just don’t want to fight a ground war in Africa when the next Ice age comes.

———–Nah. You haven’t been watching your Hans Rosling videos. Starvation and poverty are both shrinking.
But, so are births. There will come a population collapse eventually, and with it, an economic collapse. I hope to avert that.

Seven. One to deny your request for a new one on the grounds that you are a greedy capitalist and six in the Hazmat team that comes to collect your dead CFL that died after less than 1/5 it’s stated life. All will be counted as new green jobs in order to WTF.
Actually have 3 dead CFLs sitting on my desk that lasted less than a year in my office light. Sure didn’t see any savings here.
Dan Lee, are you seriously thinking your ‘affordable energy’ is going to last? Hope your solar panels are on order because soon, pretty soon, the power from the grid will be rationed. Read Obama’s election speeches!
I like Scott Adams, I just hope that he has a sizeable following in the US of A.
“The tide has definately turned. When people start mocking the greatest calamity to befall humanity.”
What calamity? Oh wait! The warmers. I get it now. Never mind!
