Political cartoonist Rick McKee of the Augusta Chronicle sees what you and I do – that any weather event can be pinned on climate change.
The warm weather on the eastern half of the USA this winter has prompted many climate alarmists blame it on global warming/climate change/climate disruption even though in 1955, a similarly warm and record breaking warm winter occurred well before CO2 was out of the “safe” zone as some call it. This map illustrates:

McKee of course sees right through the hype of blaming any weather event on climate change with this cartoon…
What is funny is that there was some climate scientists who actually did a paper and a wheel of climate as a PR prop

Did the New Year’s Eve (1955) temperature map originally appear elsewhere?
If so, where?
TIA
It’s properly accredited.
I’m not worried about the attribution or credit.
I’d like to locate the original image so I can link to it.

I love the ‘Greenhouse Gamble’ wheel from 09 that has a tiny little sliver for anything under 3C of warming. Looks like the science has passed them by. Do you think any of them regret making such a visually perfect example of their lack of understanding?

It has all happened before.
terrific cartoon…be nice if the syndicates would pick it up.
Hyperbole hit the fan yesterday. Not least because of the North Pole Melting! headline in the Climate Change Wheel of Fortune Zeitung scaring the living daylight out of my mother-in-law. The temperature peaked 15K below the freezing point yesterday and now is heading back on track. Meaning the North Pole of course. http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php. I rejoice gaining one more skeptic in the family. Happy new year everyone.
That shows just “calculated “Daily mean temperatures for the Arctic area north of the 80th northern parallel”, and has nothing to do with a short-term temperature at the North Pole. Better done homework next time:)
