UPDATE: Part 3 added
It is said that if you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk. Monckton of Brenchley certainly has done both. There’s only one problem: pirates, and I’m not talking about Flying Spaghetti Monster comparisons. Josh explains:
But as we know, Monckton doesn’t go down easily:
There might be a part three coming.
UPDATE: Here it is! That’s one hot kraken.
I’d be more impressed if he turned water into wine.

Mike, especially for you: Arctic Ozone Hole caused by Global Warming.

I see Josh is using Monckton’s spelling of Planck rather than Lucia’s. Likely he’s more used to remembering to get the c before the k. View 2 is clearly Monckton as seen by himself.

Most of the Thermal Club uses C instead of K, and if the cooling trend continues, walking on water will become easier with time.
Does the Lord walk upon a whale that Dallas has hooked and Paul K helping to land?
==========================
Perhaps there is something written in A Random Walk on Water by Dr. Demetris Koutsoyannis which could assist Lord Monckton in traveling from one side of the pond to the other.
However he does it, the warmist movement see him as a dire threat who must be destroyed. Not defeated, but destroyed. The ad hominem attacks on the man are an indication of their fear.
We assume that “planck” refers to some quantum-physical probability function, whereby waves become particles and so on, rather than to Blackbeard’s maleficent means of disposing with captives.

“Planck” is an allusion to Planck’s constant (named after Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, the man who formulated it), something that Christopher Monckton often illustrated is often being erroneously or not at all applied by many proponents of the theory of man-made climate catastrophes. Planck is the correct spelling of the proper name, even if the name is used as a pun in another one of Josh’s excellent cartoons (cartoons that constantly keep improving in quality and artistry).
Josh,
OK, you win.
What (who) is the green tentacle arm reaching out from behind the Santa Lucia in the Part II cartoon?
Is that a monster spawned of Kev’s missing heat?
Or is it our English prof Moshpit tape recording Christopher Monckton’s erudite prose for future self-improvement study?

Shouldn’t that be walk the walk?
Well actually we need someone who walks on HOT water. Mind you, Lord CM is a good candidate for that too. I take it that the Santa Lucia is not an accidental ship either ?

===========================================
I took it to be an allegory for the green movement holding (supporting) the blackboards boat. Of course, we all see what happens to boats that are temporarily supported by tentacled monsters of the deep in cinema and literature.
Reminds me of the George W joke on the Pope’s hat.
IIRC the punchline, next day headlines, George W cannot swim.
“Dr. Demetris Koutsoyannis … could assist Lord Monckton in traveling from one side of the pond to the other.’ by teaching him how to differentiate. Of course, I suspect that Lucia will learn to spell or accept corrections, faster than the Monktopus will learn to differentiate or accept corrections.
May The Force be with you, Lord M !
That ocean must be all filled up with watermellons.
Monckton seems to excite antipathy in certain circles – not surprising when he demolishes warmista arguments (he may not be rigorous, but he seems to win). Ad Hominems are only to be expected (as are long mathematical journeys in rebuttal!).
Josh,
In a possible Part III cartoon, does Captain Nemo’s submarine Nautilus surface to pick up CM? Then does it proceed to ram the hapless Saint Lucia?
[apologies to Jules Verne’s ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’]

Get away from the ship before it sinks.
Will Plankton be part of the riddle?
Peter Hadfield, a longtime science journalist who does quite thorough research into climate change facts and claims has taken Monckton to task on several occasions and has a 5-part YouTube video series on it on either the Potholer54 or the Potholer54debunks channel.

This may not be possible, but I have it on good authority that he can turn wine into water.
We’ll have to let the wind drop before we sea it change.

The Santa Lucia! Arrr ye…fingernails on a blackboard.
For those that can follow such things….
The statement “ as thick as two short Planck’s” comes to mind.
