Cagle Cartoons

Reading Al Gore's comments on Mitt Romney we were reminded of all of the reasons we don't trust the man: "Good for Mitt Romney, though we've long passed the point where weak lip-service is enough on the climate crisis. While other Republicans are running from the truth, he is sticking to his guns in the face of the anti-science wing of the Republican Party."

The so-called science of global warming is more media hype and Wall Street attempts to profit on trading carbon credits than it is real science.

Essentially, the media is a mirror of us.

We're shallow, petty and often stupid. We miss points, focusing on the wrong things and completely ignoring the bigger issues. We're prone to obsess on trivial rivalries and scandals instead of thoughtful substantive discussions about things which affect us most.
