From the cartoonist's pen

Sometimes cartoonists can capture the essence of an argument in a minimalist way. Here are three cartoons that caught my eye today.
The first encapsulates the general quality of the debate of the issues in the UK. For heavens sake, when the views of Melanie Phillips and Nigel Lawson on global warming are taken seriously by many, what hope is there for the rest of us who want to know the truth?

The second seems to be the prevailing attitude of most people in this country. A simplification? An overstatement? I don't believe so. If you disagree, show me where I'm wrong.

The third follows from the second and shows the rather touching faith that the general public seems to have in the ability of scientists and technology to sort the problem out. It just ain't going to happen, folks, unless WE do something about it directly.
