Joy on everything you see!

We should be able to make joy on whatever we see and whatever we feel like.

Humor brings joy is an acceptable statement. But then, how this humor comes from. If you look deep, you would notice that everything comes from what we think and what we feel. Nature has created hormones and all the feelings associated with it. For example if you get anger, that is due to a particular hormone.

So it is nature.

Global warming is another view about nature. Ten thousands years ago the earth was said to be cool and we were trying to warm it for the purpose of living in this planet. Now, it is said to be warm due to several other biological, physical and chemical changes happened in the earth.

So, in general it was cool sometimes and warm at other times. However, the human beings always try to keep it the way it suits their life is there.

How funny is human beings, not caring about anything, but the lives of themselves!

Barry's Response - Jeff, it takes a full range of emotions for humans to experience life as it was intended and for us to be fully human.

George Bernard Shaw wisely noted

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

Jeff, laughter sneaks past defenses, hijacking logic with rhythm and timing. Humor lets us breathe when the world heats up.

Let's follow hormones and humor. Like serotonin, CO2 nudges Earth's radiation budget. The mood swings on Earth are caused by orbital variation (Milankovitch cycles), sunspot activity, and shifting oceanic conveyor belts. The climate narrative is co-written by them. Humans add complexity not only through emissions, but also through stories, markets, and models.

Global warming is explained by radiative forcing theory. Yet climate models can't fully account for solar-magnetic modulation, decadal oceanic cycles (AMO, PDO), or feedback lags in atmospheric water vapor. Nuance, not denial.

We try to be the "reasonable man

Shaw mentioned, adapting the thermostat instead of our expectations. People who say “what if it’s more complex than CO2?”, or “once the Arctic was green?” are painted as cranks. Sometimes the cartoonist sees what the climatologist doesn't.

Sea level rise makes us laugh, cry, and post angry GIFs. Just maybe, we're worth saving.

What's the funniest or weirdest way you've explained climate change? Your humor might inspire someone else.
