Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Genius cartoonist Scott Adams published a Sunday cartoon panel offensive to the climate religion.
From “Climate Change ” is the new universal boogeyman department.
Just in case you think this cartoon is too ridiculous to be true, there are plenty of real world examples of people trying to blame climate change for their own failures.
Climate change has been blamed for everything from the flooding of the Nile, to wildfires in California, which were actually made worse by incompetent forestry management, and caused by a clear lack of electrical line maintenance.
And of course, climate change is top of the list when any flooding or levy levee failure occurs. If climate change is accepted as the cause of the problem, nobody thinks to investigate shoddy substandard work and sudden cash windfalls.
Climate change – the go to excuse for the incompetent and corrupt.
Note from Anthony: This cartoon is fully licensed to reproduced at WUWT, other places, not so much. And, in what is probably the worst example of blaming climate change, Bill McKibben’s flying monkeys at 350.org blamed the Oroville dam spillway disaster on climate change AND blamed the November 2018 Paradise wildfire disaster on climate change too. They even got our local city council to declare a “climate emergency”.
The stupid, it burns like white phosphorous!

“In the historical record rises in A precede those of B… yet our culture tries to depart from some simple A-B causation. Instead of deeply examining mechanisms of A, there is a political movement that fixes on B… because people and industry associated with B are easy targets for regulation and taxation… and once B is locked down completely we will effectively be under some single system of world governance… these typically stifle innovation and through growing population and increasing ignorance and incompetence… would lead (paradoxically) to a rise in the same deleterious effects that are claimed would rise with A.”
A,B: Temperature, CO2
also works:
A,B: Violence, Guns
I’d love to see more Dilbert cartoons on chief enviro officers and chief diversity officers.
….and chief strategy officer too.
Tom and Jerry showed us how we feel about “racism” , so Dilbert is probably the same about what we call “climate change”.
