CLIMATE SEMIOTICS: NARRATIVE ARCSMANSHIP AT THE GWPF

MUCH AS MEDIEVAL CHURCHES RELIED ON WALL PAINTINGS TO CONVEY THE SENSE OF  SCRIPTURE  TO THE ILLITERATE, THE GLOBAL WARMING  POLICY FOUNDATION HAS
  COMMISSIONED AN UNCOMMMONLY DENSE JOSH CARTOON
 TO CONVEY ROGER PIELKE'S ADDRESS, Climate Politics as Manichean Paranoia
PARTS OF JOSH'S WORK ARE EXCELLENT, BUT  AS WITH  TAR SAND & HEAVY CRUDE
 IT  TAKES  TWO - STAGE REFINING TO  GET  TO  A  SALABLE  PRODUCT - FIRST:
REMOVE BERLIN WALL & BURN OFF CLICHE' UNDERGROWTH
 SECOND : DISTILL  MEME  CONCENTRATE &  CONDENSE 
 INTO  WHAT  GWPF  PATRONS  WANT TO BUY :

While finding room for 38 visual memes in his cartoon,  Josh somehow forgot 2 things Pielke repeatedly  said he supports: 
Carbon Taxes & the  IPCC
