   Joe, let’s see if your wife will say “That’s not Joe.” I’ll await her comment in this space…

   You could have given a direct link to the artist’s webpage. Or listed the name of the comic or the name of the cartoonist. I hear creators like getting credit for their stuff. I notice that on the page you do link to, the comic itself is a link to the creator’s web page, http://xkcd.com/386/

   Always my intent to put the link in from the cartoon itself. Rushed myself.

   Ha! When my wife went on a trip, I had my daughter take a picture of me at the computer – from the back. I stuck that romantic image in her socks to keep her company…

   The History of Climate Change according to those who don’t believe in AGW:

   1st decade – Its getting warm – great for crops and vacation.
   2nd decade – El Nina, its snowing outside – there’s no such thing as global warming.
   3rd decade – Warmer year than average – maybe global warming?
   4th decade – Mt Shasta glacier is expanding, its raining and cold out side – absolutely no global warming.
   5th decade – Warmer than usual – maybe global warming, not sure? probably not, because… blah blah blah.

   Mean while:
   Ice sheet as large as xxx are breaking off Antarctica; The Arctic ice cap is disappearing; California is burning; Coral reefs are dying; Sea level is steadily rising over the last 100yrs; Majority of world glaciers are receding/dissapearing; Perma-Frost is melting in Alaska swallowing houses;

   What could be the cause of all this?
   Maybe, just maybe, the average global temperature is going up and reeking havoc on our environment?
   mmm Not sure…lets wait a few more decades, its been colder than average for the last few years.

   20yrs or so later:
   Most of ice is completely gone. We are in dire straits.
   Sucks, I guess AGW was occurring – We better find a new planet to live on.
   Oh oh, we’ve run out of Oil!
