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.”

My thought exactly. This epitomizes anthropological global warming fanatics. Head in the sand, oblivious to reality.

400 Id10t's, the most prevalent "green house gas" is water vapor, that clouds you morons.
What do you think you are going to do about them?
Pass a law?
Enforced by whom?
How?
And in closing, how is it that the Rose sea level mark, set in the 1800's, is about two feet ABOVE the CURRENT LEVEL, melting ice caps my foot.

If they held it at night it would also obscure THE REASON for ALL our WARMTH!
Just because they are obtuse enough to bury their heads in the sand doesn't mean the rest of us are!

I have to ask these freaks whether “climate change” means that the planet is warming or cooling, and at what rate; and whether man is the indisputable cause of the “change”. Then I will ask them what the high temperature of the day will be in Brisbane on May 15, 2016.
