The protest will wind its way through Midtown Manhattan on a two-mile (3.2-kilometer) route starting at 11:30 am (1530 GMT).

Wouldn’t there be less CO2 produced if they all just stayed at home in bed all day?

These nimrods dont pay for anything ; they still live in Mom's basement.
They are in the "social justice" movement for climate change and never ending Nintendo games.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Maybe if we move the protest marches to Mercury, where it might be easier for the sun to see them...

In a city the size of NYC, isn’t “tens of thousands” statistically zero?

I’m guessing around 12,000, which will be reported in the New York Times as “Hundreds of Thousands”.

The pinhead behind this was interviewed(in all seriousness) by Ellis Henican on 77 WABC last night and she said it will be one hundred thousand. They ought to be able to do it in a city as delusional as NYC and yet I doubt it all the same.

Old Retired Army Guy:"It’s amazing how you can gather a crowd of so many like minded idiots."

Here's how they get the idiots . Found at website:
http://mediatrackers.org/wisconsin/2014/07/29/secretive-leftwing-network-discovered-through-wi-records-law

"Secretive Leftwing Network Discovered through WI Records Law "
"A low-profile Google Group used by over 1,000 state and national leftwing leaders and activists has been discovered thanks to Wisconsin’s open records law.
A Media Trackers inquiry into the actions of a University of Wisconsin professor turned up records and communications from “Gamechanger Salon,”
an online community that provides a forum for leftwing activists and leaders to share tactics, strategies and opinions.
Operating as a closed Google Group, much of what the network does is unavailable for public review."
A Member list and media members is included on the Media Trackers website .

Just think of all the trash, pollution and the additional carbon these people will produce. They are parading for their own demise.

Out here in the real world, we may complain about the weather, but we’re not stupid enough to organize a protest march against it.

The Tri-State Area has a population of 20 million. At least 12 million of that total represents the Lunatic Left. Therefore, to get to 100,000 they only need to grab about 1% of the Lunatics, and that doesn’t include the Marxists who will travel from greater distances to be there.

Report how large the crowd is expected to be.

Nice tactic, if dishonest.

It's a rent a crowd made to look like “everyone” is there.

Ding, ding, ding we have a thread winnah!!!!

Any idea how much the 'celebrities' are being paid to show up? And who's paying them? Would be fun to know... Also, can we assume 'free concerts'. Too bad MSM is so lame - they'll take this at face value because they're fools.

Will Leo and Algore fly in commercial, together on one jet, or will each use their own personal jet as they usually do.
