There’s been a lot of spoof/satire images poked at the Heartland Billboard. For example these being run by Michael Tobis, who desperately needs traffic: http://planet3.org/2012/05/04/the-correct-response-to-heartlands-disgusting-billboards/
…here’s the kind of billboard I would have run.
I welcome reader submissions, just post them to an image drop like tinypic or imageshack and leave the URL in comments, and I’ll add appropriate candidates to the main thread. Be careful of the site rules, and don’t assume I’ll carry every one.
Think like Josh and keep it clean and on-topic.
For those who have no idea what this means, read this.
h/t to WUWT reader TerryMN for the idea.
UPDATE 1: Steve McIntyre offers his submission in comments, not quite a billboard, but we’ll take it for sheer hilarity value.
Mike: “Plants need food too”
I like it.
This billboard on Hansen would be good advertizement for a certain blog sponsored by some NASA employess. : )

MANN, man who discovered, invented, described and misunderstood AMO, two will forever linked together; MANNAMO.
Do not mess with man with the Sicilian DNA, and yes don’t forget that Tree either

re Mann and the AMO (from Coats of arms of the Nobiliario di Sicilia)
This one:
is even better – he’s been barking up the wrong tree
This one is a serious attempt harping back to the 10:10 No Pressure campaign (e.g. here and here) which has been airbrushed out (http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure – no mention of the video in relation to 10th October 2010) and is now hard to find.

Well why doesn’t the TEAM from CG1 and CG2 advertise about their power to get CAGW research accepted quickly?
Here is a billboard advertisement for them:

There once was a climate team called Hockey
Whose predictions were ever so cocky
They said Earth was becoming like Venus
But strangely limp was their…..graph
So they hid their decline under a rocky

What is it with warmists who think they are rats? Or rabbits?

I bet none of them are dressing up and calling themselves kangaroos at the moment!

“A question unrelated to the rat vs roach side theme, just how do you format a font here? Even when I copy/paste a comment that was in bold or italicized it still shows up as plain text.”
You don’t have those Bold, Italic etc buttons above the reply box? Try them, they just paste a pair of tags into your text.
Also, the TEAM from CG1 and CG2 were proud of their power to sidetrack, block publication and delay research by scientists skeptical of CAGW. SO THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE!
Here is a billboard for them to get some income from those wishing to silence skeptical research.

My billboard would be more informative than funny:

Hope I got the numbers in the ballpark. (estimated/alleged 110ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 from human action. Source: Wikipedia)
My modest tribute to Anthony

[ Reply: Use standard HTML tags, but a subset. So, for example, to do italics, use OPEN ANGLE i CLOSE ANGLE then end the italics with OPEN ANGLE /i CLOSE ANGLE. If I can do it right, that would be 〈i〉 and 〈/i〉 It will be left as an exercise for the student to figure out how to do the text of it while preventing the effect 😉
For Bold do the same thing but with b instead of i. -ModE ]

May be they are trying to tell us they are rodents (and cockroaches,) a very telling analogy. Remember rodents and fleas (same Class, Hexapoda, as cockroaches) caused The Black Death: The Greatest Catastrophe Ever wiping out “60 per cent of Europe’s entire population.”
To the rat. My one and only class in Biology was in 1965 or there abouts and I am sure about 50% or more of what I learned has changed.

To mix the analogies, as AGW fisics does, a variation on YAMAL –
One Tree To Rule Them All
And In Science Darkness Bind Them
With the three witches from Macbeth looking remarkably like Hansen and Mann and Trenberth casting the spell around a cauldron with the Yamal tree in it.
Great thanks! Humour is the best weapon against nonsense and hysteria!
Rattus: Hey Gail, you do what critters are represented by the genus Blattella, right? But then you folks here are such science super-geniuses, surely you couldn’t be that ignorant (or unable to use google)?
Hey, Rattus, would you like to buy a word for that first sentence? Mocking someone for being a genius, but having errors in their message is pure, well, genius.
I did a whole page of ads way back in 2009.
If links are still working you can turn them all into bumper stickers as per instructions.

“Earth3.0” Huh? No thanks for the link. They don’t need my traffic.The second article I read referred to me as a denier. They can go hang. More shills for the machine.
Don’t these idiots know that the political price for fixing the climate is our liberty. The cure is MUCH worse than the disease, even if all the doomsday sh!t were true.
Anthony, I appreciate you running this thread for rebuilding peace and good relationships with Heartland.
Several years back I downloaded three of Heartland’s posters. They were so nice, so polite, and so heartbreaking… in effect “please let us in on the debate”… “don’t slam the door in our face”… unfortunately I can no longer find them.

If you want to hear the Three Witches / Weird Sisters on Yamal, I got inspired.

Hmmm. I tried that but it did not work.
