No doubt that some who take the ongoing global climate change challenges seriously have from time to time had visions of others fiddling while Rome burns.

It’s just too obvious. Atlanta Journal Constitution editorial cartoonist Mike Lukovich used another popular metaphor August 24 to make the same point. Picture this:

Two frogs sitting in a slowly simmering pan of water atop a range. The caption on the pan: “Global Warming.”

So one big-eyed frog says to the other: “I’m peeved about that Mosque …”

There you have it. A picture, again, worth a thousand words. Maybe more.
