Greenpeace at Nazca

Study

"The results of the study we funded are back."

"Wonderful! There will finally be an independent assessment of the evidence and the swindle of global warming will be debunked at last."

"Actually, our study shows a steady increase in surface temperatures during the twentieth century, at a rate accelerating in the last few decades."

"Why should we take this study at face value? It was funded by a group with vested political and economic interests in the issue!"

Alert

(The sign fails to mention that this radiation is so powerful that it goes through dihydrogen monoxide.)

DANGER
LUMINOUS RADIATION

Luminous radiation is made up of electromagnetic emissions in the range of 400 to 790 terahertz. It is similar to the gamma rays that are released by radioactive materials, with the difference that its wavelength is much bigger.

What are its effects?

* Luminous radiation affects living beings: it causes chemical reactions in plants and changes the behavior of animals.
* Some parts of the human body (e.g., the eyes) are sensitive to luminous radiation. At certain levels, it can lead to blindness.
* It influences normal cycles of sleep and wakefulness. An alteration in these cycles can result in fatigue and serious diseases.

Did you know...?

* Many common household items emit luminous radiation. Manufacturers know this but do nothing about it because they would lose profits.
* Large amounts of luminous radiation come from outer space. In its crrent condition, the atmosphere can do nothing to stop most of it from reaching us.
* Governments take no measures against it. In some cases, they even grant contracts worth millions that result in increased levels of radiation in cities.

ENOUGH!
You can make a difference. Contact your representatives and officials and demand immediate, effective action against luminous radiation. Act now!

eBook

"The new eLiterate 3000 can store half a million books and emits aroma of paper for the nostalgic. Now we can let trees grow and oxygenate the environment!"

"Bravo!"

"Excellent!"

"You mean this plantation is no longer necessary?""

"Right. The estate has already been bought to build a car factory on it."

Consciousness raising

"Renowned top model Michelle Libonatti staged a naked protest against Japanese whaling this afternoon."

"We want to work here. For free if necessary!"

"It's up to us to make sure the protests go on!"

Confused

As I was finishing this cartoon, I learned that the thing is real. And I thought I was being original.

"That... that is a wind powered... cell phone tower. I... I don't understand... Is it a good thing... or a bad thing?"

"Ow! My head!"

"If we keep emitting oxygen, we could cause a catastrophic change in the atmosphere."

"Nonsense! The Earth is too big and we are too insignificant to have any effect on it. Drop your cheap alarmism already!"
