Mad Men of Climate-Change Alarmism: you don't want their agitation anywhere near your children

These are alarmed men, obsessed with notions of impending doom thanks to rising levels of CO2.  There is neither observational nor theoretical evidence to warrant such alarm.  It is instead only supported by some computer models all but universally agreed to be woefully inadequate* in the face of the complexity of the climate system.  The emotive excesses of these men and of those who have been unduly influenced by them are not suitable for children.  Children should be protected from scaremongering in order that they may have a more carefree childhood.

The above cartoon by Josh is a response to one entitled 'Mad Men of Climate-Change Denial' where these words are in the accompanying text 'At a time when the emergency warning light is flashing on climate change, these scoundrels help to confuse the issue, making it seem as though there is scientific debate where there is no significant scientific disagreement.'(Brodner)

Mad Men of Climate Denial

My comment to that post was not published, and was, from memory, approximately as follows:

"That climate changes, always has always will, is settled science.  That the CO2 molecule absorbs and emits infra-red radiation is settled science.  What is not at all settled is the relative importance of the latter on the former.  Here there is room for considerable debate, a debate in which the men in your cartoon have all made excellent contributions." 

There is some discussion of both of these cartoons at WUWT, along with these links with further information on some of the doings of the characters in Josh's cartoon:

Note added later on 10 June 2013 Here is another picture with more of the 'Climate Change Mad Men' in it (h/t Paul Matthews) and this is presumably what the Brodner one above was responding to:
