It’s Jovovich!
Here’s a nice radial version from 1850 to May 2016. http://www.climate-lab-book.ac.uk/files/2016/07/spiral_may2016.gif
Description, notes: http://www.climate-lab-book.ac.uk/2016/spiralling-global-temperatures/
I can’t tell if you’re being serious, but Dazed and Confused is definitely set on the last day of school in May 1976. The 76 is salient here since 76 is also a chain of gas stations located within the United States. Both Milankovitch and Stanley, Simmons, Criss, Frehley et al. were both to have played a larger part in the film See Bullet point 7. here. Coincidence? Pfft. I think not.
Of course, The Fifth Element puts the entire timeline into question because director Besson was already age 17 in 1976. So by 1997 he’s already way too old for either his current wife who plays Diva Plavalaguna or his next wife, Milankovitch. The great evil that appears in deep space in the form of a giant ball of black fire in 2263 is actually a canard, the pertinent date to note is 1914 when Mondoshawans arrive to collect the stones. Almost exactly 100 years ago when “fossil fuel CO2 emissions start rapidly increasing” on the timeline.
Correlation is not causation, wake up, sheeple. At the very least before jumping to hasty conclusions about global warming in Café Society we’re going to want to know more about Besson’s current wife, who Wikipedia tells me was a one-time partner of Gerard Depardieu!
KRIKEY! NEED I SAY MORE?!
In a thread about XKCD, you speak of waking up the sheeple? Egad!
Sou, yir, thin this wread.
Aha! I have caught a rascal. As you well know, any thread about XKCD requires exquisite accuracy from the posters and you have fallen. Ha ha!
Yes indeed there is the Driftless Area and it hasn’t been glaciated recently but of course it has been glaciated in the past - and it is your duty to reveal that.
OK report to my study after dinner for six strokes, and don’t do it again. 
I’m sure we all feel better now. 
The Driftless Area sounded fascinating but I couldn’t help wondering why it escaped glaciation over 4 billion years. A little reading revealed it didn’t although most web sites still say never touched by glaciers.
What gave me pause was the very first photo showed a small mountain with abrupt rock tearing on one side. That is a classic glacial formation called roche moutonnée where the rock is smoothed on the upstream side and torn on the lee side.
Here is Mount Iron (about 30 miles from this very chair) which geologists regard as a fine example. The gentle slope is where the ice sheet rode up and then fell abruptly taking lumps of rock off the lee side.
To be fair, the Restless Area is extremely unusual because it was surrounded by glaciers but remained ice free. The last time it was glaciated was 730,000 years ago. Quite a while.
Incidentally the entire Earth is theorised to have been a snowball at some point in the Cryogenian Period 850-630 million years ago. There have been 5 major ice ages and generally the land in the warmer lattitudes has escaped the ice.
Crude stick figures, no punch line, not really funny at all.
Fail as a “comic”. I prefer The Far Side.
I hate the stick-figure art. But the writing is absolutely top-notch, some of the most brilliant writing in comics ever.
See, I don’t view it for the writing or topics presented, but for the art. A man needs inspiration. Someday my drawing will get there. o|–<
Yeah, obviously the art isn’t the main selling point, but what’s remarkable is that, simple though it is, it works.
