There’s nothing funny about global warming or climate change, but that may be part of the problem. The time has long since passed when doubt of the science could be considered legitimate, but media continues to bring on science deniers in a search for balance that is neither accurate nor productive. Why? Maybe because we’re not laughing hard enough at their flamboyant idiocy. Satire sometimes succeeds where facts and logic can’t by tearing the clothes off the Emperor, by pulling aside the curtain to reveal the little man flicking the levers. From Will Ferrel and John Oliver to The Onion, comedy is taking on climate change, and it’s actually funny! We’ll see if it’s effective. This month we bring you the Guardian’s pick of 11 comedians’ thoughts on climate change, followed by as many (funny) climate change memes as you can stomach. Enjoy them until the Apocalypse comes, in one form or another!
