That was Toles' sketchpad "outtake" cartoon that didn't make it into the paper.  And here is his self-proclaimed final rant on climate:

This will be my last rant about the climate. Cartoonists sometimes look just like the archetypical cartoon character crawling across the desert.

July 2010 — What Global Warming Looks Like

The July 2010 global map of surface temperature anomalies (Figure 1), relative to the average July in the 1951-1980 period of climatology, provides a useful picture of current climate. It was more than 5°C (about 10°F) warmer than climatology in the eastern...
