TEXT OF COMIC:

I think global warming is caused by bad math.

Remember how last year it was warm all the way through December, and then it got freezing cold in late January and early February? That's happening a lot lately.

I think our official years are out of sync with the actual motion of the Earth around the Sun. That's why the seasons are off, and we're getting warm when we should be cold and cold when we should be warm.

I mean, a year is actually a little more than 365 days. We can try to fix that with leap years and stuff, but we'll always be a little off.

That's ridiculous, Karen. It would take millions of years to be off enough to notice. We're only off by fractions of a second, and every year they correct those fractions of a second on the world's official clock.

But they could be doing it wrong. Sounds like a very bureaucratic sort of system. Lots of chances for error.

Why don't you go shovel the walk or something?
