Brian Kahn understands us, clearly. Here's the opening to a recent article worthy of the Friday Funny title: "Do you like nerdy web comics and climate change real talk? Of course you do."

Kahn is sharing a new comic strip by Randall Munroe, creator of the tri-weekly web comic xkcd. The comic "shows just how radical the recent changes are and puts to bed the trope 'the climate has changed before.'" Kahn's coverage offers context about the claims made in the comic strip.

If you're not familiar with xkcd, it's hilarious and nerdy, so check it out if either of those words pique your interest.
