Global Convergence of Climate Kooks

The global warming climate change crowd was out in force around the globe today, apparently having nothing better to do with their lives than to spread misinformation, fear and panic.

Several thousand climate campaigners marched through London and Stockholm on Saturday calling on governments around the world to take urgent action to tackle global warming.

Carrying banners with slogans like "cut carbon not forests" and "actions speak louder than words" protesters in London marched in torrential rain and biting cold past parliament and through Trafalgar Square to rally in front of the U.S. embassy.

I wonder if anyone of these idiots realized the irony of whining about alleged global warming on a bitterly cold day?

Naturally, it gave these twits yet another opportunity to take a cheap swipe at George W. Bush since, in fact, he's the root of all planetary evil and has altered the world's temperature all by himself. Amazing what such a stupid man can accomplish, isn't it?

Some posters carried a picture of U.S. President George W. Bush and the words "Wanted for crimes against the planet". The United States is the world's biggest emitter of carbon gases.

That may be so, but I guess feeding the planet comes at a price.

In Sweden, police said about 1,000 protesters marched through Stockholm in the rain carrying banners reading "make love, not CO2", "kids for the climate" and "flying kills" in Swedish and English.

Tell that to all the eggheads who flew to Bali for their recent summit.

"I've never seen so many people come to a demonstration in Stockholm," said Susanna Ahlfors, 34, marching with her two children. "If we don't act now, things will go really bad. I'm worried about their future."

The protesters urged the world to stop driving and start biking and admonished Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt for "staying quiet while the water is rising".

Hey, that's a great idea. Let's just stop traveling altogether and we'll save the planet.

Check out the crew who organized the silliness in London.

This may seem pretty obvious: to save the planet and billions of people on it - from the horrific tide of death and destruction that will come from the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate. But there are two main things we're pushing at the demo, which are reflected on the route we've chosen for the march.

Good grief, people, take a deep breath. The hubris of people thinking a stupid march is going to save billions.

More brilliance from them.

But the biggest block on progress at those UN Talks is still, as it has been for a decade or more, the United States. In particular the Bush administration has both rejected Kyoto (in 20001) and cynicaly manouevered to sabotage progress at the UN Climate Talks.

At the risk of repeating myself for, oh, the thousandth time, it was the Clinton administration and the United States Senate, by a vote of 95-0, that declined to ratify Kyoto.

Nothing like blaming Bush for something he had nothing to do with. Maybe those jokers should be more concerned with their illiteracy than their vainglorious attempts at saving billions of lives.
