Josh says on his site re this cartoon : There is a new phrase being used for the Klimatechange Impending Doom (KID)
Is this the origin of the phrase "I kid, you not"? In which case what does NOT stand for?
"I Klimatechange Impending Doom (KID), you Normal Oscillating Temperature" sounds a bit Tarzanesque.
Reminds me of those old verbal reasoning type questions..
"Climate Disruption" is to Politics, as "Weather" is to reality.
Perhaps:
"Climate disruption is to Weather as Canute is to Sea" ?

Politics and reality.
Well said. It is a variant of my argument of "Rhetoric, not facts" but closer to home.
Once again Josh has nailed it. He is rapidly becoming a first class political cartoonist.
It occure to me; there is no such thing as disrupting the weather. Its not like the weather can suddenly stop or something, being disrupted as such. So climate being a compound of weather, can not be disrupted. Doh!
What brings anyone to talk of disruption when referring to a turbulent fluid displaying variations on all relevant space and time scales, intrinsically unpredictable in important details beyond a week or two (i.e. when existing features such as a depression disappear), and, just to torment the modellers, wrapped around a spinning irregularly shaped spheroid in a varying orbit around a varying star? Ulterior motives perhaps?
Some call it England's sole cricketing strategy prior to the invention of game throwing.
