After all the rubbish coming out of Washington today on climate, we all need a laugh.
This cartoon was intended to illustrate general science reporting, but works just as well and is equally funny and prescient for climate science.

LOL! I love it!
If the “free press” is a pillar of democracy, is it any wonder that freedoms are being taken away?
I am an “A” denier…!
A is correlated with B…
therefore…. . Nothing. No logical conclusion possible.
{which of course includes the Precautionary Fallacy, Mr. M0sher (ahem)}
While correlations bear looking into, to CONCLUDE causation is wishful thinking, pure superstition.
“As odd or silly of some superstitions might seem, local psychiatrist Dr. Clark Smith says fans practice superstitions because they want to feel like a part of the team – part of something bigger than themselves. Dr. Smith says people also have an illusion of control.”

“Save the Planet.”
What a bunch of garbage.
Fortunately…. the average Joe and Maria are not stupid. They may wear their “lucky shirt” to the ball game, but there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD they will believe human CO2 causes any significant change in the climate of the earth……
…. unless someone l1es to them.
Even then, truth stands the test of time.
CO2 UP. WARMING STOPPED.

GREAT CARTOON — thank you for sharing it!
5 May: Daily Mail: Ellie Zolfagharifard: Global warming is ‘not uniform’: Regions of the planet have actually COOLED over the past 100 years, study claims
From 1910 to 1980, study found areas south of the equator cooled down
Other areas near the equator didn’t see significant changes in warming
It found largest warming to date has been at the northern mid latitudes
The research comes as United Nations secretary-general urges the world’s policymakers to do more to address the threat of climate change
“Global warming was not as understood as we thought,’ said Zhaohua Wu, an assistant professor of meteorology at Florida State University…

5 May: Reuters: Thomas Atkins: Briton arrested in Las Vegas carbon trading probe
FRANKFURT: U.S. officials have arrested a 56-year-old Briton in Las Vegas in connection with suspected tax fraud worth 136 million euros ($189 million), deepening a European carbon trading probe that has also drawn in Deutsche Bank.
A German prosecutor on Monday said the man was under investigation for participating in a scheme to evade taxes through trading European Union carbon emission certificates using a business based in Dubai.
German authorities issued an international warrant for his arrest on May 2 and the man was arrested on May 4. The suspect’s identity was not revealed. He is now being held in custody in Las Vegas awaiting extradition, the Frankfurt prosecutor said in a statement.
“The accused had flown from Dubai to a boxing event in Las Vegas where he was sponsoring one of the boxers in a fight,” the prosecutor said. “He was arrested on the sidelines of the event.”
The arrest broadens a carbon trading probe that has also affected Deutsche Bank, where prosecutors are investigating 25 staff, including co-Chief Executive Juergen Fitschen and finance chief Stefan Krause, on suspicion of tax evasion, money laundering and obstruction of justice…
***European police agency Europol has estimated that such crime has cost taxpayers more than 5 billion euros in lost revenue since 2008.

Cartoon good, but the Grandma in our family is more likely to clip grandson around the ear for allowing such nonesense to pervade.
Grandma is not into being “politically correnct” but is into common sense and banging heads together.
I cannot, in polite society repeat her view on AGW alarmists. Is she qualified to make such judgements? Well, best advice I can give is thatif you might not like the answer, don’t ask the question!
“Grandma is not into being ‘politically correct'” — LOVE it.
@ur momisugly Green Sand — Well, you just tell her, “Go, Granny, go!”
#(:))
“Little Old Lady from Pasadena” — Beach Boys
“… she’ll shut-em down… .”
And, GO, internal combustion engine!!!
Yeah!
good Lord….ain’t it the truth
Whoa!
Who knew grandma was the smartest one among us?
🙂
It isn’t a cycle yet.
You need at least three more story points.
— Politician warning we must act to prevent A by big government
— Grandma votes for politician
— Politician raises taxes to fund research into A and it’s causes and prevention.
— Scientists conduct research into A, B, C, D, E, F, G. They find bupkis below p=0.20.
— Must write papers to justify funded research
Which THEN brings it full circle.
THe hats are required for the Obama regime.

Nice! I enjoyed that.
The contribution from the university PR department is understated.
More typically: ‘HiRank University scientists have found a startling correlation between A and B. Group leader Prof. Dee P. Thot cautioned that the results are preliminary, but said that the correlation model predicted that those who have B may find their A’s falling off. Post doctoral scholar Hijob Hopes, who carried out the research, described the results as “unexpected,” and “unprecedented but robust.” Scholar Hopes, modeling the implication, showed that if C is not regulated, the impact of B on A fall-off could impact bodily integrity worldwide. “Our grandchildren may never know they should have had an A, and will not know what A’s looked like,” Hopes said.’

Thanks, Anthony. It IS appropriate.

Ha ha LOL.
inMAGICn, happenstance coincidence. Yet one more indication that correlation does not prove causation. 🙂
I do know the academe and climate science posturing, though, so the choice of names was studied.
Next iteration: “A is negatively correlated with B.”
Is that a put down of tinfoil hats?
Totally uncalled for.
I chuckled out loud (COL)
