Friday Funny – the new and improved 4 legged AGW table

Now with Escherisms!

Josh from Cartoons by Josh writes:

I thoroughly enjoyed all the helpful comments on both your blogs about Kev’s  4 legged climate table.

I have tried to put a few of them in… the result was of course entirely predicted by my own highly sophisticated computerised climate cartoon model…as you can see.

Have a great weekend!

Readers may recall, here’s the original discussion: The 4 legged AGW table

And here’s the improved table and final result in a three part panel. I loved how he worked in the polar bear in an Escher style arctic ice “death spiral”.

I support the T-Shirt too! I’ll buy several if they can be shipped to Oz or the UK.

Oooh, I love it! Especially the way the climate models disappear up their own input. It would make a great talking point. If we’re thinking merchandise, how about a calendar?

A calendar! what a great idea. Josh could create one very easily for sale at Lulu.com (I have no affiliation – I am a customer and it makes books very easy to publish). I’d buy a lot of those, too!

Lots of added neat details without getting too cluttered. Well done!

I’m with Sonicfrog. The no-spill consensus tea hovering above the carnage to represent cognitive dissonance.

First time I’ve laughed out loud at a comic in a while. LOVE the M.C. Escher spiral stairs!

As the Cancun talkfest winds down without result the alarmist stooge MSM are being fed the usual excuses and justifications and damage limitation . The talks have failed for the alarmists? No problem, just declare victory(of sorts) and the client stooge MSM will report it as such.
So the net result of the conference(holiday in the sun) is? Nations are free to cut as much(little) as they wish, no binding targets and no commitments to reduce CO2, no legal framework and no sanctions mechanism against defaulters, no mandatory wealth redistribution from richer nations other than the insane schemes of the UK and US regimes who seem bent on self destruction, betrayal of their own electorate and national demise.
In no way can the conference be claimed as a victory or a success, but being the dishonest manipulative gang of deceivers they are they simply lie and declare a victory anyway and their stooge clients will pass the news onto their viewer/listener base.

Awe …. the SUN should have been the CHAIR for the table that was ignored off in a corner…it would be the only thing still standing…over the clouds….

Did anyone notice that the table is made of “Bristle Cone Pine” ?
haha!

A new meme is invented here:
the Escher Polar Bear, climbing never rising stairs of global warming.

Some more fodder for you Josh. From tables to “building blocks” 🙂 . http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/12/10/climate-talks-inch-ahead-modest-deals/?test=latestnews

I did the most curious thing today. I plowed out the mailbox driveway so the mailwoman doesn’t have to step in knee deep global warming. Silly me. More global warming is in the pipeline! Somebody forgot to turn off the pipeline!
I tell you what, the Cankooks can all come stay at my ranch. I have all the global warming a single woman can stand! And just to make it seem like Cankook weather, I’ll have bikinis laid out on all the beds. Plus my yard is also filled with global warming so’s they can feel right at home. And the icerink that was the road in front of the ranch, kinda looks like a calm ocean. I’ll set lawn chairs out if they promise to turn off the pipeline.

Most excellent!
Made me feel warm all over looking at it.
Oh, wait –
never mind.
Let me just say it sure is cool.
Yeah, much better.

Well, Josh’s own area does not have these, nor his one in Oz.
Also, when I go to create a custom shirt, I can put a different pic on the back.
Can I pay Josh for the use of these images in order to make my own shirts for family & friends?

Find the “ology” that best matches the following sayings.
“Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread”
“Too many cooks spoil the Broth”
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”
====================================
Is it tautology? 😉

Lovely.
As a variant it would have been nice to see the hockey stick as one leg of the table, but of course this is for a different cartoon. Also while FOI in the wastebasket was perfectly appropriate, the first thing that occurred to me was to have it poking out from under a carpet, perhaps labelled CRU. A Fantasia-style broom could be busily sweeping at it, labelled “inquiries”. Oh, the possibilities.

So all the arguments about climate gate, sunsaw, govt funded milk etc are going to collapse, and we’ll be left with the climate models which state that water vapour and clouds are positive feedbacks, and an angry polar bear. Oh and the binned foi requests will stand the test of time too?
