From a Calvin and Hobbes search engine:
Script
I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a war of values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight! How cynically unconstructive. Enmity sells.Description
Calvin is writing a fund-raising letter. He tells Hobbes the secret is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. You explain how they’re destroying everything you hold dear. It’s a war of values. Rational discussion is hopeless. We need your money to keep up the fight. Hobbes says that’s cynically unconstructive. Calvin informs him that enmity sells.

Why not cite the Calvin & Hobbes where Calvin directly asks his mom about climate change from July 23rd 1987? He asks her about melting polar ice caps and accuses her of not caring becauae she will be dead by the time it matters. She retorts he wants a car ride for any distance over 2 blocks and he retorts nobody told him about climate change. That strip perfectly captures the state of climate change information and lack of global reaction much better than your long reach posted here.

Doom – I am not sure what your comment has to do with my OP. Being rabid about something is not correlated with the reality of that something.

Calvin directly expresses his concern about climate change on July 23, 1987. He asks mom about melting polar ice caps accusing her of not caring because she will be dead before they melt, she accuses him of wanting car rides for going 2 blocks, he claims he didn’t know about ice caps.
I highly doubt Watterson would agree with this blog post title.
@omnologos why is that aimed at one side not the other? You’re normally more self aware!
