In Contempt 12/06/07: “Burden of Choice”

Wednesday, December 31st, 1969 by Kevin Moore

Burden of Choice 12/06/07
Click the cartoon for the rest.

Thanks to Barry for inspiration for today’s cartoon. He is very much the whining men’s rights crank depicted here. NOT! Quite the contrary, Barry is a dedicated feminist who was seriously annoyed by a cartoon by Steve Kelley of the Times-Picayune and a similarly-minded column by radio talk show host Glenn Sacks and Jeffrey Leving. (Links are available at the cartoon page.) Once I read them my own annoyance grew to a point where I felt an “answer cartoon” was necessary.

Scanning the Headlines on Global Warming

Wednesday, December 31st, 1969 by Kevin Moore

From the Associated Press:

More than 3,000 flying foxes dropped dead, falling from trees in Australia. Giant squid migrated north to commercial fishing grounds off California, gobbling anchovy and hake. Butterflies have gone extinct in the Alps.

While humans debate at U.N. climate change talks in Bali, global warming is already wreaking havoc with nature. Most plants and animals are affected, and the change is occurring too quickly for them to evolve.

The Willamette Week reports how much has “time has been wasted” since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol ten years ago. In the spirit of “moving beyond Kyoto”, the Center for American Progress urges citizens to pressure their congresspeople to support legislation introduced in the Senate and the House - and to generate enough support to override a threatened veto by the BushAdmin. On that note, the Daily Green reports on this aspect of the UN summit in Bali:

The United States, Canada and Japan are throwing up repeated roadblocks to even small steps on global warming, like setting up a working group to discuss the transfer of technology from rich to poor nations, Friends of Earth has said, according to Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
