More than 400 protesters showed up to protest the Australian government’s choice to overlook climate change issues at the G-20 summit – the first one in years to ignore the issue. Their protest of choice? All 400 protesters buried their heads in the sand at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

The second “head in the sand” protest held in Australia this year, the demonstration came after Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he wanted the summit to focus more on economic growth. The first protest was held back in September in Queensland, and included 80 people.

“I’m hoping the Bondi event will send a huge message to our government,” said George Hirst, the first protest organizer. ”The G-20 can no longer hide their heads in the sand over the climate change planetary emergency.”

Sounds very Muslim; head in sand, butt in air.

Hope they keep their heads in the sand. 400 less problems.

They don’t get irony, do they? It is probably refreshing to get their heads out of their butts and intot he sand.

Geocentrism, “global warming”: it isn’t science but it’s backed by powerful people! (Just ask Galileo.)

I don't believe this story for a second.

When have liberals ever pulled their heads out of the sand, to be able to bury them again?

They should put their heads in plastic bags to keep the sand out of their hair. And a rope good and tight around their necks to seal it.

The push for additional fraudulent climate regulation is based on knowledge this winter will restore the Arctic shelf to original levels and most likely exceed it in both density and coverage.

The window is closing. They need to act and they need to call upon all liars on earth to broadcast the lie - the UN, our enemies who sit back and laugh, and of course the usual suspects.

Seems they stick their noses into all sorts of inappropriate places. And their heads just naturally follow ;-)
