The hopes were so high back in August for a massive climate rally to support Pope Francis’ climate push. But reality has now sunk in.
Climate Prediction: August 25, 2015: WaPo: ‘For Pope Francis’s D.C. visit, environmental rally of up to 200K planned’ – Several environmental groups are planning a major climate rally that will draw hundreds of thousands to the National Mall on Sept. 24, the day Pope Francis speaks to Congress and is expected to address the public afterwards. The permit for the gathering — which will make the moral case for reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming — is for 200,000 people. The Moral Action on Climate Network, along with the Earth Day Network, League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club and other groups, have timed the rally on the Mall the same day of the pope’s speech.
Reality: September 24, 2015: ‘Pope’s Visit To D.C. Inspires Hundreds To Rally For Climate’ Rally – ‘On Thursday morning — as Pope Francis prepared to make history by addressing Congress — hundreds of activists gathered on the National Mall. Holding signs, petitioning for signatures, and offering spirited remarks to an expectant crowd, the activists represented a spectrum of causes and religious denominations, from young evangelicals to Black Lives Matter leaders.’ Greenpeace seemed to confirm the small turnout for the climate rally, tweeting out today: Amazing crowd! The Pope has left but the climate rally continues.
Read the rapidly growing comments at the link. Hilarious! I think they are all Freepers.
So, most of them were EPA employees who were given time off to attend?
Probably! By the way, the EPA is one of the agencies that Donald Trump promises to “gut” when he gets into office.
Any before and after pictures of the protest site, to see how green they really are.
They will get everything they want....thanks to the GOP...
GUD!
Advice from an old geezer to the female greenies: buy a bra, take a bath, get a job.
Yeap. Was kinda cool in the 60s when they went braless but 50 years later them things are scary.
Nothing more genuine than an activist rally, featuring matching signs. /s
;-)
They are oh so touched by the seriousness of their emotions.
....and most of those “hundreds” were probably paid to show up.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
I don’t think to many people are too worried about the weather “destroying” the planet. The planet will never be destroyed by tiny puffs of smoke coming out of cars. Just picture the planet earth from space and think about the tiny cars and smokestacks they love to say will destroy this massive planet. It’s a joke.
