General scientific consensus agrees that climate change and global warming are real (and so does [[Randall]]). However, plenty still believe the conspiracy theory that {{rw|climate_change|global warming is a hoax}}. Randall has tried to call attention to it several times, most directly in [[164: Playing Devil's Advocate to Win]], [[887: Future Timeline]], [[1321: Cold]] and [[1379: 4.5 Degrees]]. Just a few days after this category was created the most elaborate attempt by Randall to show exactly how serious Global Warming is was released with the huge [[1732: Earth Temperature Timeline]]. And he used his 2500 comic anniversary to call attention to it once again [[2500: Global Temperature Over My Lifetime]] by showing that the average temperature has increased more than half a degree during his lifetime (less than 40 years at the time of publication) and that this was predicted by the oil industry before he was even born. |
| β | + | For more information on the effects of climate change, see {{w|Effects of climate change}} and [https://climate.nasa.gov/ NASA's website for climate change]. | |
| β | + | In some of the comics only the word climate change is mentioned, either in the title text as in [[603: Idiocracy]], or just as part of a crazy sentence, [[1412: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]. | |
| + | |||
| + | Also comics discussing pollution that could cause climate change (without mentioning it directly like [[1659: Tire Swing]]) should be included in this category. | ||
| + | |||
| + | But comics, where people are just guessing in the explanation that Randall may be referring to global warming etc, should not be included here. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Weather may seem related to Climate, but it is precisely not the same. This is the reason that many mistake a cold summer/cold winter to show that there is no global warming or man made climate change. Thus the [[:Category:Weather]] should not be a sub category of Climate change, as Climate change should not be a sub category of the Weather category. | ||
