Josh caricatures “team aerosols” thanks to Dr. Roger Pielke’s compilation of responses to this question:
‘Why, despite steadily accumulating greenhouse gases, did the rise of the planet’s temperature stall for the past decade?”
Excuses, excuses.

Wow, that’s tasty!
Lemme guess, the last person on the right is….me!

et Al? Afraid of a lawsuit or something from the humor impaired?
et Al [2011], not just any et Al.
Too funny, thanks Josh.
Could be Mike. Thought I saw a likeness to Dr. Schmidt. Maybe it was the caption.
Priceless.
Ah, the high priests of the Temple of Doom. How many of these guys actually believe that the world isn’t going to come to an end within 30 years?
Can anyone name one? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
(Queue sound of a thousand crickets chirping.)
Anthony – For someone who has urged taking the high road, this cartoon is a pretty abysmal personal attack. Disappointing, to say the least.
Why even discuss it.? CO2 is good and warming is better..!

Same reason human sacrifice was invented. Two things happen at the same time, we assume once caused the other. The only answer, sacrifice to appease the gods for our sins of pollution. Otherwise we are all doomed.
Education does not change human nature. You can take the scientist out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the scientist.

Of course! That’s what makes the unspoken so sweet! Besides, that tree-ring hugger craves attention, negative or positive, so leaving him out is the biggest insult one can drop.

Lmao, that’s a personal attack? No, its not. It is simply a cartoon that gives an interpretation of what they themselves stated.

KR: Can’t let them get away with the “aerosol” BS. Josh knows this.

Is there spatiotemporal chaos in the system as Tomas Milanovic charges at Climate Etc? Sure, but it’s pinched by a constraining framework that shifts quasidiscrete asymmetric aliasing of the solar drive-wheel. The signature of asymmetric driver-wheel aliasing by driven wheels, no matter the size of the driven wheels, will NECESSARILY be a function of driver-wheel acceleration/deceleration. THIS is the marker of the WHOLE system.

I’ve made some cartoons too — animated ones:

There’s an explanation of the animations here:

I look forward to discussing this with Dr. Kevin Trenberth at some point in time. I’m discussing the above with a mechanic to try to find some analogies & maybe youtube videos to expedite cross-disciplinary communication.
Regards.

Wow! Just Wow! I’m dumbfounded.
KR seems to have no understanding of the attributes of various kinds of humour. I thought Josh nailed the essence of the current silliness from BEST and the various positions that have made each of the depicted figures famous or infamous, depending on the individual viewer’s perspective.
I don’t think Anthony takes the high road,he sets limits.It’s Mann at the end who is never wrong isn’t it?
Once upon a time I learned that the “al.” of “et al.” meant plural…….
“Et al” – could we not just refer to him as He Who Must Not Be Named?

To get to my suggested response to KR count back six letters (spookily also the number of people in the cartoon) from the initial letters of your two words.
Obviously, it’s the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his little elves, flying all over the place, celebrating the pirates of Somalia, as well as the hordes of file-sharing pirates. Did you know that plain pasta has a high albedo? I rest my case.
Santer’s eyes look sooooooo scary…
Aerosols? I can think of a more apt, similar sounding noun…
Brilliant as ever, Josh. 😀
KR seems to think it egregious to subject the ‘holier than thou’ line up to witty banter. Don’t forget, these are the people that would willingly put the modern day comforts provided by cheap energy out of the reach of the poor in order to pursue their personal, unsubstatiated agenda.
If I could draw cartoons, they would not be as kind as Josh’s offering.

I did. OK….what’s even spookier is that you noticed that in the first place.
If anyone’s interested, the article containing the actual quotes, not the words Josh would have liked them to say, is right here:

The only thing an aerosol can’t do for a Climate Scientist, is delete emails.

Aerosols, the Holy Ghost of climate science.

This is not equivalent to “denier” or “10-10”. Not remotely equivalent. It’s ribbing, not proxy killing.

“Lighten up” I prefer the one word in the comment following. Bollocks. He he
This is actually a quit witty cartoon. What is true is that we have not warmed for the past 15 years, as confirmed by BEST compilation. And CONUS has not warmed for 100 years.
For those of us who have been trying to get the folks who want to deny reality to realize truth, yep…..a pretty cute cartoon.
Very good Josh,
This bunch reminds me of the politician (Charles Durning) singing and dancing, “Dance A Little Side-Step” in the movie “The best little Whore House in Texas”
