I tend to substitute poignancy for humor, as I generally do not find climate change funny.

If Donald Trump has taught us anything, its that the climate change message must address human emotions (& most likely must improve emotional intelligence):

Great stuff ASLR! Emotional intelligence, (EQ) is as important as IQ. Speaking of EQ, this Huffington Post article reports that a new moth species has been named after Trump:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-moth-species_us_587ea5c6e4b0c147f0bbbf86?tncysy7fo82cblnmi

Extract: A newly discovered species of moth received a fitting moniker, given the helmet-like cluster of yellow-white scales atop its head.

Meet Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, named after President-elect Donald Trump “because of the resemblance of the scales on the frons (head) of the moth to Mr. Trump’s hairstyle.”

From one of my old articles:
http://www.science20.com/chatter_box/mad_20

Coal Power

This is the law of the voltage:
 that the current shall turn into heat
that the kilowatt-hours through the meter
 are dumped out as unwanted heat.

And this is the law of the rich ones:
 that we use all the oil and coal,
that the rich ones be made even richer
 though the ice disappear from each pole;
though the tundra be burned up with fire;
 though the oceans be lifeless all through;
Monckton says that this isn't a problem -
 ipse dixit, ergo it is true.

The game of "Alternate Facts" (lies) is to create an impression that the weak-willed can conform to in order to go along to get along.  The temptation to live in such a fantasy world must be resisted:

Trump Senior once bought a fleet of Ford Edsels.

Donald Trump was born in Yemen.

Trump to build wall all around the USA to keep out scientists.

Trump's genealogists prove he is descended from royalty.

Trump seen playing golf in a kilt.

Trump gets starring role in remake of Garfield: the Movie.
