Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

:sigh: you don't "make a better world for nothing". Preventing climate change would be extraordinarily expensive, if we were to actually do it.
Lying about it doesn't make you anymore correct.
It's equivalent to "for no reason" not to "for no cost"
The reason would be to not cost so much...
It would cost far more to not address the issue.
But the man in the comic assumes there is no issue at play.
Exactly.
No, it's making fun of that assumption.
So, you don't believe those things are worth the cost, absent the threat of climate change?
I do but that's not the conversation we're having.
What conversation are we having?
Whoosh.
I don't think that and I didn't say or imply that. No one seems to be able to comprehend the "what if it's all a hoax" in the comic in question. In such a case, there is no climate change, and thus no associated costs.
Except it does. When you don't buy something, someone is not selling something. And there is likely something that you want to sell also, which others may not buy. That sort of thing applied at the level it would take to stop climate change would stop our entire economy dead in it's tracks.
So you’re saying our economy is a pyramid scheme based on a flawed system?
Huh? That doesn't remotely resemble anything I said.
It’s basically exactly what you said.
😂 okay bud
Let’s depopulate the planet and rebuild the economy to healthy and sustainable levels!
I like your thinking.
That's not what I said. We're not talking about reusing a few plastic bags here. We're talking about reversing global warming.
More expensive for the rich, yes. The rest of us want to stop having to pay for things we don't want through degrading our surrounding environment.
