Its pointing out the absurdity of using the weather as a indicator of climate, and the frustration I and so many others feel when this is commonly brought up in defense of the denial-ism so rampant by politically right groups.
I used to spend a lot of effort arguing and doing my best to provide the best arguments and evidence to counter these people, but I'm starting to think the way we have started to deal with anti vaxx people is to mock them and ridicule their stance is the only way to get them to realize how wrong they are.
I can provide charts, facts, argue at length the strength of which my side stands against the deniers, but I have found in my experience this rarely puts a dent in anyone who's denying at this point what is clear and irrefutable science.
You see now how the anti vaxxers are being openly mocked on more mainstream TV, magazines, talk shows, and especially more so now on social media. I have noticed a noticeable decrease in the amount of people arguing for not vaccinating because of this, shame them into questioning their stance because arguing facts is not working for these people.
This cartoon was not for you specifically, albeit Photon did call you out for your comments rightfully so, I don't see you as one of these people who would not change their position given time and facts but these kinds of attempts to shame people who hold ridiculous positions do have their place because it is to me as ridiculous as creationists, flat earthers, etc..
