Yea, too bad for the UCS that the “2″ is “global warming is natural.”

So I got this email:

On issues from air quality to global warming, government science is being censored, manipulated, and distorted on an unprecedented scale. To draw attention to this problem and have a little fun, the Union of Concerned Scientists is hosting Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest.

In April and May, they received hundreds of entries. In June, UCS worked with four highly accomplished, award-winning cartoonists and cartoon editors to narrow down the field to 12 talented finalists.

Now, all of us have the chance to vote for the 2007 Science Idol–and win a 2008 Defending Science calendar featuring the best 12 cartoons.

To see all of these great cartoons and submit your vote today, visit

Anyway, these guys are complete statists and I hate them, but even statists can make funny cartoons. The one on the right is my favourite.
