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:

The cartoonists also weigh in.

BTW, cartoonist David Horsey has an excellent piece titled "Ice storm paradox: It's colder because the Earth is warmer."
