In our last comic, we had the human character, our voice of reason, not understand the joke because of its absurd nature.
no. morelike, the human character says "no idea" because that's how your supposed to respond to a joke. the joke teller gives the set-up in the form of a question. the straight man expresses his (real or feigned) ignorance by saying something like "I don't know, what?" or "I give up". then comes the punchline. calling the human character the "voice of reason" is obtuse as saying the true meaning of a knock knock lies in the line "who's there?".

i don't even understand why the right wing has such a problem with global warming, like even if the stats are made up, why is helping the earth bad?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 23 January 2010 00:40 (sixteen years ago)
because rightwingers have been running on denialism and oppositional politics for decades now. If the dirty fucking hippies are fer it, they're agin' it.
Also, because much of them can't or won't think in systematic ways. Plus, they think that much of it is just scare-mongering by hippies and libruls who hate america and successful american businesses.
It's completely about narrative, and jack-shit about actual science. And there's dozens of more reasons why.

"Find out why helping the earth is taking money out of YOUR wallet, after this commercial break"
Also I don't think man-made global warming has been proved. And I've seen a lot of people post things like "should we all hold our breath to prevent global warming?" and they always talk about how we are having colder temperatures over the past couple years.
As idiotic as these things are, they still have an argument to cling to (unfortunately).

The truth is by politics as pro- or con- 'global warming', they have successfully derailed what should be a conversation about pollution's longterm affects on the human race. Instead of seeing studies on how corporate pollution are causing cancers every day and killing millions in the name of profit, we read about saving this or that rare animal, which really doesn't matter to most people.
The important thing is that we don't consider further regulation of businesses. By making it not about human safety but animals/Earth/gaia they have maintained control of the debate for decades, and with the full cooperation of environmentalists.
