Climate change can be a laughing matter
Published 27 April 2025 7:00am
Source: SBS NewsThe climate is changing and so is the way people are talking about it – with science communicators around the world using laughs over lectures to drive the climate conversation.
…
“Everyone’s an audience! When it’s a wicked problem like climate there are infinite audiences, everyone deserves quality information about climate change.”
Dr Naomi Koh Belic is a biologist and award-winning science educator, based in Sydney but travels Australia offering creative science communication events.
This includes a series of events called “The Drag Experiment”, where drag performers with a science background – including Milton Mango – collaborate with other scientists to create factually informed comedic performances.
…
“Almost half of that audience, it was their first time coming to a science event. So, we can see that when we put forward these creative approaches for science communication, we are actually engaging with unique audiences and bringing people along to that conversation.”

I applaud the scientists for trying to broaden the horizons of climate communication, but aren’t drag acts a bit 2024?
What they need to truly get the message across is Mime. I mean, how can they create an inclusive act representative of all the voiceless victims of their climate crisis, when the performers are still using their voices? Only through the noble silence of mime can scientists truly stimulate their creativity and overcome the final barriers to climate communication and informing the public.

This is more like the old National Lampoon than The Onion or The Babylon Bee.
By their absurdity ye shall know them… 🙂
“it was their first time coming to a science event.”
And last?
There’s not much overlap between a “science event” and a freak show.
“There’s not much overlap between a “science event” and a freak show”
“Climate” science …on the other hand, seems to have a big overlap !! 😉
(no, not with a “science event”)
Drag Queen science. Whoda thunk that! But somehow fits. Climate alarmists pretending they are scientists together with men pretending to be women.
ROFL 🙂
Can’t wait to see Bill Nye in a dominatrix outfit. On second thought, maybe I can.
Puhleeeeease! Give a little warning when you’re posting videos designed to sicken and disgust the viewer! I just enjoyed a nice pulled pork sandwich for dinner, and now my stomach is doing flip flops!
I’m even a little nervous about trying to sleep tonight; Miss Rachel appears to be the stuff of horrible nightmares incarnate! Aaaaaaaack!
That is a mental image I could have lived my whole life without 🙂
You’re welcome!
Pleeeeease! Give a little warning when you’re posting videos designed to sicken and disgust the viewer! I just had a nice pulled pork sandwich for dinner, but now my stomach is doing flip flops; and I’m scared that that image will disturb my sleep for God only knows how long! Yuuuuck!
As much as I’d like to take credit for it, you replied to the wrong person.
Will be interesting to see if any of the AGW trolls poke their heads up in support. 😉
Drag Queens are just men dressed in female clown costumes. It’s an act practiced decades ago by Milton Berle. At least Uncle Milty was just trying to be funny. I’m frankly stunned that women don’t seem to be offended by how these drag queen clowns portray their sex.
Long before that….. Most Shakespearian actors were male.
Female roles required “costumes” ….. and pretend feminine voices.
Yeah – back in the late 60’s my father-in-law owned a bar on the corner of Haight-Ashbury. The front of the place was rented to a guy with a small sandwich shop. He was known as the Fat Fairy – a “cross dresser” with some pictures of him in evening gowns adorning the walls mit beard There were no pronouns and no confusion, he was what he was…
It was a wild time in a wild place, many of us managed to survive, but many did not…
It is not a bad thing that climate is changing.
It is a bad thing that science has been changed to fit a narrative –
up to this agenda climax
where the 2 main astroturfed new and mandatory realities unite.
The transformed biology that no longer knows what a woman is
and the climate science that transformed from ice age to global warming (in 1982).
And the word transformation sounds so much better than corruption.
And all this brought to you by the same experts who already told the truth
about WMD ‘s, the Tonkin Incident,
Russian Collusion,gas attacks in Syria
almost a war with Egypt (USS Liberty)
etc.ect.ect
“etc.ect.ect”
Something caught in your throat?
This is nuttier than a fruitcake.
Maybe not. He might have been snipped.
Here is one, if you need it.
Yes, but us it fruitier than a nutcake?
If you enjoy uproarious comedy + climate catastrophism, go no further than one Albert Gore explaining how the oceans are “boiling”
Democrats had better watch out.
https://www.lifenews.com/2025/04/28/scientists-want-to-grow-human-bodies-without-brains-to-harvest-their-organs/
Why would the Democrats be worried. These would be the perfect Democrat voters.
I meant who needs to grow humans without brains as we already have democrats.
MarkW & Scissor; your posts made my day!
What about normal people who just happen to be scientists?
Climate crisis is as fake as drag queens.
This is more insidious than it seems.
“how long before they want to perform in schools?”
They already do.
The worst thing about drag queen reading hour is their insistence on reading for little kids. Why do I never hear of them reading to hospital patients or in rest homes? Their priorities are perverted.
Exactly.
There are tragic numbers of people who are desperate for attention, and hard-up for goofy ways to get it: people with pink hair who jam their faces into tackle boxes and come up dangling with metal prongs, “Queers for Palestine,” sideshow freaks masquerading as “scientists,” and more.
Pretense, hypocrisy, and sham at many levels, degraded further by ignorance.
And narcissism.
So the left logic is
The climate crisis is caused by the lack scientist drag queens
The lack of scientist drag queens is because DEI hirings were removed by Trump.
So it’s Trumps fault for the climate crisis 🙂
You nailed it.
Was that a carbon steel nail you used?
Clowns promoting climate nonsense. So, what else is new? That’s been standard practice since at least 1988.
The CAGW clowns have nothing to back up their claims, scientific or otherwise. They are pathetic.
XX + XY = LGBLQTHFDSAJKLL+
Sure. They speak truth about science.
(Did any of them take and pass a biology class?)
These days many “biology” classes promote this nonsense.
The UK Supreme Court recently ruled that there are only two sexes/genders as dictated by biology.
The unique audiences that they are appealing to are goofballs like they are and whom no one pays any attentions to except to give them the horse laugh.
Question: How can someone who denies their own genetic makeup (and the wiring of their brains which is very, very different that those of the real opposing gender) suddenly be able to tell children about the scientific “facts” of global warming?
” a wicked problem like climate”
The dictionary definition that fits is “Severe and distressing”
Weather may sometimes cause severe damage and be distressing to those involved.
Climate is what it is, has been, and continues to be.
Dr Naomi Koh Belic, the biologist, should stay in her lane and study bugs, bats, or slime molds.
Drag is not the answer
It is obviously BSDM
What we need is flagellation including self flagellation for destroying the planet
Little boys and girls bent over the knee and gently admonished with implements of their choice by latex clad gimps
Clarification: I’m not suggesting real pain inflicted on children, this is merely performative at this trial stage
I will write to Dr Belic immediately, I’m about 95% sure she will like the idea
When you thought April the 1st was one day not one month
This is sooooo yesterday.
Wonderful idea, Mime in the workplace, I
m going to try it at the next officers meeting, Ill let you know how I get on . . .(via mime of course !)MIME(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is what makes the Internet what it is.
For better or for worse… Still a lot of fun!
The world really is going insane.
Nothing but clown shows that do nothing but satiate the clown’s desire to play dress up.
