For some reason, as I scanned the sub-head, I thought it was beginning an acronym (although of course it isn't). But along those lines I propose: Carbon Alarmism Runs Badly Over - Nugatory
as in: "Ted Turner predicted that in another 40 years or so, most of the people will have died, and the rest of us will be cannibals." "Oh, another CARBON™ warning."
Also available, "Panknickers pants" with waterproof material, and elasticated cuffs, for containing accidental pollution, following messages of climate panic
Can't help thinking if this Christmas Josh sends a book of his cartoons to Sir Paul Nurse and the BBC, they might not need to waste licence payer's money making programmes that ask stupid questions about why people have lost faith in some scientists.
Sorry but Frosty's now put me in mind of premature ejaculation. Isn't that an immensely apt description of so much that appears in the likes of Nature - witness Steig as cover story and the stink even from Andy Revkin about this week's premature certainty about man-made increases in precipitation. It's this messy habit of going from software model to BBC headline in just a few moves, as long as it promotes alarmism of any kind. But if your research calls any of this into question it's 88 pages of argument before you get a sniff of being published - in a much less widely read title.
Special limited edition designer climate briefs. May be worn outside the trousers (pants for you colonists). As modelled by Al Gore (XL sizes available).
The bit I don't get is why there is an anti- AGW skeptic industry at all. The doom-mongers have their international agreements, windmill subsidies, mandated CO2 reduction targets, charities and media acolytes all in place so why is it important to them to counter free-thinkers that poke holes in their evidence and fun at their foibles?

I refuse to type "is that a hockey stick in your briefs or are you just pleased to see me?"
I think it's all pants.

simple seeker
.....Nobody likes having their foibles poked.
Great stuff there Fen.
Perhaps the briefs could be armor plated to protect the foibles.
I've posted a link to Josh's cartoon on the Carbon Brief site

Let's see how long it stays up (hnarr hnarr).
Meat and two veg
carbon debrief
Opening in front for pee-er review?
Shouldn't that be a big red 10:10 belly button?
NO Pressure ;^)
Josh -- Don't you just love cartoons designed by committees? :)
Don, yes it is such fun, I love all the ideas.
