Ah, yes. I remember that too. Usually when we handed out Chick Tracts at Halloween.

You're welcome.I'd like to thank the OP for turning me on to Chick Tracts about a year ago.They are like Ned Flanders on acid. Always a great read!
I can't think of a way to link it in with the rest of the post, so here's a good parody chick tract.
Wow, Fang and a Pinky reference in the very first panel. Best. Chick. Ever. (Not a high standard, but still.)Apparently Chick (or his ghost writer) like "Pinky and the Brain?"

Here you go; ninth panel down. I think he has that elsewhere as well.In another Chick Tract, he claims that this is, in fact, an admission by the Catholics that they are pagans. According to Jack Chick, the IHS stands for Isis, Horus and Set.
This demonstrates that fundamentalist Christianity is often simply the quasi-religious arm of right-wing politics. There is absolutely nothing in global climate change that attacks the Bible or Christian doctrine. In fact, Christians with an apocalyptic bent could easily see in global warming the beginning of the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. That Jack Chick attacks the science of global climate change demonstrates two things: He has an anti-intellectual bias against science, and, for him Christianity = capitalism.
ETA: I saw the Chick tract elsewhere, but I couldn't make your link work. However, you can find the tract here.

I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.
Picture is gone already. That didn't take Chick long.
And why did Jack Chick take it down?
