Cartoons: Is it just weather or climate change?

And if it is climate change, do humans have anything to do with it?  Here's a collection of surveys of scientists' views on climate change.  The summary from the Doran and Kendall Zimmerman survey (2009) states:

It seems that the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific basis of long-term climate processes.

The cartoonists also weigh in.

Cartoons about climate change denial and more

There's a treasure trove of cartoons on climate change at the U.S. News and World Report site in their Energy Policy Cartoons section; so many good ones that I got greedy.  Here are eight of the forty about energy, the ones that I particularly like.  Warning: some of these are not really funny, just straight to the point.
