Global Warming Rallies Hampered by Bad Weather

Seems to be a pattern developing.

Cold, rain cuts short global warming rally

More than two dozen demonstrators braved cold, wet weather Saturday in Reno to attend a rally designed to draw attention to global warming.

The event was cut short by heavy rain and sleet, said organizer Lisa Stiller of the Northern Nevada Coalition for Climate Change.

“It’s kind of disappointing that the weather kept people away,” Stiller said. “But we still think it (climate change) is something that people should talk about.”

More than two dozen people? Wow. So how many more? Was it 25 people, 30?

Why does such a paltry gathering rate media attention?

A regional rally for a global problem

WILMINGTON -- A mix of snow and fog at the foot of the Whiteface Mountain toll road made it a white-on-white world Saturday as 15 people -- and two dogs -- started the 2,500-foot ascent to the top.

The group was skiing up the state's fifth-highest peak -- which was wrapped in early spring snow -- to call attention to the damage that global warming could bring to the Adirondacks.

Sponsored by the Adirondack Mountain Club and Adirondack Explorer, a monthly magazine covering recreation in the mountains, the climb was among more than 1,300 events held nationwide to mark Step It Up 2007, a global warming awareness day that was the brainchild of naturalist and author Bill McKibben of Vermont.

This regional event had 15 people and it garners media attention?
