The Future is Another Country

So much mud is being thrown that the slightest speck sticking to a labcoat seems enough to persuade Joe Public that the bigger scientific picture is irrelevant and that it must, therefore, all boil down to moustache twirling evil-doers Mwa-haar-haaring under ill-gotten showers of public gold. We do love a soundbite. So I guess it must be OK if the glaciers start to disappear in 50 years, not 20, and the African harvests collapse in 40 years, not 20, and if a quarter of Holland is lost to the sea, not a half. That'll be fine. Nothing to worry about. Party on dudes.

Lest we forget - it was the IPCC and the UEA themselves that brought their own errors to the attention of their peers.

A brake with tradition?

Technology is fallible

Birds of a feather?

The bluefin tuna goes the way of all fish.
Flexible family arrangements can be found everywhere.

I'm trying out this new layout style for the strip - it'll fit better with the new (imminent) site. Hope you like it.

Stranger at the door

No climate change relevance at all, but it made me laugh

YOUR OPINION PLEASE, ON THE FOLLOWING:-
I'm about to commit to a domain name for this new website that is, honestly, about to go live. I am given to understand that the title Throbgoblins (international or otherwise) is something of a turn-off for many as it sounds like some sort of pornographic smurf movie. So I would welcome any feedback on whether I should keep it or just go with my own name. I know that a rose by any other name would still smell of old man and wet fox, but I have to plump for something, and it might as well be something somebody somewhere quite likes.

Another Hell in Another Handcart

I have finally sorted out my technofear and got 450 cartoons - from the early LabRats through to the Slamdown comic - uploaded to the new website database. So we're on the home stretch. I'm now actually quite excited about the new site. I think you'll like it. Graeme Sherrif has done a fabulous job and I hope it will all be going live soon.

Not really human?
