Just to be absolutely clear ...

... climate change is not solved in the real world. Nor do I think it is that easy. But can you imagine if it was? I recently realized that climate change as an issue has become so ever-present, so engrained in our society, that a scenario like that has a beautifully absurdist feel to it. That's why I wanted to include it in my comic. It's kinda like I'm explaining the joke right now, and I hate that, but I've become increasingly paranoid that people misjudge me based on flawed interpretations of things that I say or do.

So, once again, climate change is real, it's made by humans, it's actually a problem and it's not too late to stop it, but it's not going to be easy. Don't be an idiot and claim anything else. Just do me a favor and don't panic about it. Panic has never led anyone to good decisions and I feel like there is a real danger of humanity messing this up because people can't stay rational about it.

I'll not go into detail any further. There's so much to cover and there's much better places to discuss this enormous issue than the blog on a comic page. Just stay calm and be smart. That's my advice, especially for, but not limited to, climate change.
