This is a collection of all of the posts related to Al Gore’s “24 hours of climate reality” aka the Gore-a-thon. My sincere thanks to cartoonist Josh for making it possible.
Click each cartoon to go to the full story commentary.
In the beginning there was Gore, and a skeptical polar bear.
Hmm, so far, Al’s not getting the lift he needs after Katrina. The USA recently went over 1000 days without a major hurricane landfall. Watts Up with That?
According to some, Arctic Sea Ice is THE metric by which to gauge “global warming”. There’s only one problem. The ice is keeping its own schedule and temperature doesn’t seem to be much of a factor.
Sea level! Yes that’s it. Sea level rise is a primary indicator of global warming! Let’s have a look.
Polar bears are being threatened. They need rescue from climate change!
What temperature trend?
Where’s the warming?
Hockey sticks anyone?
Consensus says so!
Weather is not climate, unless we say it is.
Global warming causes floodroughts
Redefining the new normal. Wait, I thought actual climate scientists defined climatic normals, not ex-politicians
What can we expect from about 0.8C of warming? Catastrophe de jour ad infinitum
I’ll believe climate is a crisis when you start acting like there is one.
Carbon credits are the new indulgences.
Did you notice that Gore hasn’t brought up Mt. Kilimanjaro at all? Watts Up With That?
Windy whirligigs and Biomass are renewable.
Solar is the way forward (as long as the subsidies hold out).
I wonder why Al doesn’t drive an electric car everywhere?
An inconvenient truth from “Ivar the Terrible”
Models go Gaga with Gigo
Warming up the thermometers
Netting the big fish – payback
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Too funny! I’m grinning, and I’m supposed to be maintaining the rage against the BIG BAD BILL.
Stop distracting me with your righteous humour! BTW have you ever thought about the amount of electricity used to run corporate and home computers and entertainment and telecommunications industry equipment, and yet there has been no proposal to tax electricity dependent technology. What’s up with that?
Best Climate Fail file ever!
” So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
I love the allusion to the book, “Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy”.
Great cartoons!
“The ice is keeping it’s own schedule… ”
ITS, no apostrophe. We don’t want people to think we’re stupid do we?
“We don’t want people to think we’re stupid do we?”
That’s uneducated, Pedantic. Uneducated can be fixed; stupid (such as the Goracle, et al.) can’t.
Josh. So. Damned. Talented.
Thanks, man.
Great work Josh! Now that I see them altogether, they pretty well sum up Algore and his ‘Gore-a-thon’!
.
Thanks Ped-man. That apostrophe bothered me too.
That’s hilarious.Add another ding for the apostrophe. But let’s end on a positive note, so: that’s hilarious.
This has all the makings for an anthology of global warming information.
Anthony, I would make the suggestion to get a copy write and proceed to publish this collection in a 24 chapter book. There would be one chapter from each of the postings of the 24 hours of climate reality followed by selected comments.
Top 10 best seller list for sure!
REPLY: Done deal. The book is being written as I write (well with a break for this comment) – Anthony
Great cartoons, Josh! #23, “Red Herrings” is my favorite. Hilarious!
So long, Al, and thanks for all the laughs!
Fantastic work Josh!
I have to hand it to you and Josh. Terrific stuff.
Real world we still have to deal with AB 32 regulations in California. Both fixed rules and cap and trade.
Although the President appears to have walked away from global warming regulations from the Clean Air Act. This is an election year suspension, but a big deal for business.
California is a regulatory island. Something has to give.
In case it got missed, here’s a suggestion I made for a cartoon in one of the earlier threads:
Gore is standing in his “cherry picker” alongside a cherry tree with juice stains around his mouth, one hand behind his back fingers crossed, saying to an irritated man below in 18th century clothing, “What, me cherry-pick?” The man below is holding a piece of paper on which are a few words about some cherry-picked claim Al has made.
LMAO too funny.
[uh, don't come here and call us Nazis. That is not a good way to make friends. luv ya bye. ~ ctm]
That’s great. I’m glad i didn’t bother reading all the accompanying text that you worked so hard at.
Now we need that in a printable handout format that we can send to members of the Green Party, leave on buses and in library books, etc.
I think I found a WUWT Fail!
Nowhere here (until now) was there a link to Josh’s cartoon site
That link goes to the page where he hid the donation jar, just click Home to get to the cartoon page. Then come back and click on the Donate button. Worked fine for me.
Josh. you are brilliant, combined with Mr Watts you two are making history that will survive the spin and hopefully Al Gore. The bear can get back to doing bear stuff. Looking for tasty fish. crapping in the woods a snacking on the hippies (hopefully)
Thanks Josh!
Your cartoons are the best thing that came out of Al Gore’s “24 hours of climate reality”.
Al is one person with its characters.
But!
Al is that much important to all to forget realities?
What are realities:
1- CO2;
2- O2;
3- FBF Fossil Based Fuels;
4- a billion cars in carpools still to add China and India, they are thirsty to DRIVE!;
5- 28,000 daily flight sorties in US only, add others http://www.flightradar24.com ;
6- what should be preferred first:a. Oil Industries, related jobs, markets and world economy? b. weather, Climate or whatever you like to name it and the EARTH?

Thanks, Josh! A summary that even the IPCC can understand!
Excellent!
Orwell was spot on with “double speak”. The purpose of politics is control and “wealth redistribution”…that is, take from the productive and distribute it into the pockets of the elite.
ummm, I would point out the obvious fallacies in these here “humorous” arguments, however why bother? People are not going to change. The only time we will stop spitting out copious amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere will be when the fossil fuels run out.
And by the time things become irreversible, both you and I will not be living anymore. Just sucks for our grandchildren. I just hope they manage to go to Mars. Now THAT’s a planet that needs some global warming :)
Josh should produce a calendar
Gore looks like “Roger Mellie, the Man on the Telly” (Viz, an adult comic, published in UK: it takes the p**s out of stereotypical excuses for human beings!)
you need to draw one on gliard aust PM
All this jet-fuel used by Gore and his private trips. All the power used in his multi-room mansions. All the water pumped into his swimming pools. You sure are setting a great example, Mr. Gore. Way to go fellow – good ole hypocrite.
