Global Warming Trek Begins With Snowstorm

The idiocy continues unabated. A totally whacked-out group of moonbats desperate for attention is out stumbling across Massachusetts in the snow.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. --As the world's warmest winter on record draws to an end with a weekend snow storm, a group of religious leaders started walking across the state Friday to bring attention to global warming.

First of all, records weren't kept until the late 19th century, so this story is BS in the first sentence. Then again, this is the Associated Press we're dealing with.

"God has given us this Eden, and our behavior is making a mess of it," said the Rev. Jim Antal, president of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ, the state's largest Protestant denomination.

The religious walkers are part of Religious Witness for the Earth, a 6-year-old national interfaith environmental organization.

With most of its members based in the Northeast, it made sense for the group to walk in Massachusetts. About 1,000 clergy members are expected to take some part in the trek, which will include prayer and information sessions along the way before ending with a rally on March 24.

Why does it make any sense to prance around in Massachusetts? Why not Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania? Those are also considered Northeast states. Probably because Massachusetts has an unusual large percentage of the moonbat species. And, well, they just happen to be located there.

Many members of Religious Witness for the Earth have used their position from the pulpit to make their congregations aware of climate change.

"The interfaith aspect of what we're doing heightens awareness among everyone," said Rabbi Justin David of Congregation B'Nai Israel in Northampton. "Climate change is a moral issue and it's a collective issue. It transcends the differences of faith and politics and generations. This is something everyone needs to pay attention to."

With any luck, these pinheads will get stuck in a snowdrift. Or maybe they'll get frostbite, like this moron.

Meanwhile, environmental extremist Al Gore continues with the hysteria.

Former Vice President Al Gore has collected nearly 300,000 electronic signatures asking Congress to take action on global warming, Gore said in an entry on his Web site Friday.

Gore said the signatures demonstrate "that hundreds of thousands of people share my sense of urgency" on climate change. Gore is scheduled to testify before about [sic] the issue Wednesday.

Of course, Gore isn't one who might exaggerate, is he?

Q: There's a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about global warming and get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What's the right mix?

Gore: I think the answer to that depends on where your audience's head is. In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.

Then again, if you tend to disagree with his lunacy, you're a denier.

"The debate on the science has long been over _ except for a diminishing number of skeptics and deniers," he said.
