So long as the cartoonists are using zero carbon pens and pencils, I see no harm in it at all. I would view it as a way to highlight the (fake) issue of global warming to the masses..

lol

a very practical reply but it lacks clarity regarding logic...yes i do undersand the usage of carbon in pencil lead but there should be some optimum use of it.....secondly the concept of global warming is not fake..probably it is manipulated by many people for their well-being....anyway could you elaborate more......

Yes I think cartoons are a very useful propaganda tool and can be used to get across any point, valid or otherwise so I would say they are very important. I don't think anyone disputes global warming is occuring, it's the cause that is the point of contention so the use of propaganda in all it's forms is a powerful tool.

Getting less contensious by the day

In an interview with the BBC, Professor John Marburger, Bush�s chief science adviser, said it was an �unequivocal� fact that climate change is man-made and that greenhouse gases emitted by human activity are to blame.

Not sure about the question shri - do you mean in swaying public opinion.

Humour has always been good at this from Hogarth to spitting image and beyond.

guys good to see your response but i didn't mean about slaying the people...my only concern is there are ppl who milk money with this issue....by the way that cartoon was too good jake....

I feel ppl should be made aware of the Global Warming...they should be shown the line that distinguishes between myth and facts......

any ideas????
