“Activists to stage protests aimed at reducing carbon concentrations (barf alert)”

Aren’t protests (successful ones) where thousands of people comes together with a common purpose? I wonder what kind of carbon footprint that would have.

I think after the protest, they should all go sit in a 120 plus degree sweat lodge...I think it would help a lot.

They should get together next week to talk about the crisis of the water from our oceans draining off the edge of the world.

Would a bong and a blanket on a couch facilitate a home-made sweat lodge?

” thousands of people comes together with a common purpose? I wonder what kind of carbon footprint that would have. “

Welllll...

If they all got together in one place, and stopped breathing, that would probably have at least a little impact....

A big one, if they're breathing. If they want to reduce carbon concentrations, they should come together and then not exhale.

I’m going to put this in terms that even a libdolt should understand (but probably won’t): CO2 is PLANT FOOD, you MORONS!

If someone put that on PPV, I’d watch.

Figures: The Light in the Loafers, Environmental Wacko, Bill McKibben who started this 350.org is from Vermont.

mckibben

This state is nothing but a conglomerate of Far Left Loons, Moonbats, and sundry other run of the mill, Socialist, Morons.

BTW, did anyone else click on the article and notice the sidebar which "Claims" 4 of our Patriots in Afghanistan are taking part in the nonsense?

Wonder if that is factual or something the Washington Compost has made up?

Cutting back on carbon? Are they going to stop talking? That’s a GREAT idea. :)
