Local groups join together for an event that seeks to shut down traffic on 23 September, during the UN Climate Action Summit

Climate activists will escalate their protests next month in Washington DC, seeking to shut down traffic with blockades at key intersections to bring attention to the intensifying crisis.

Patrick Young, a 35-year-old who works with the group Rising Tide called the protest “a big ambitious plan to disrupt business as usual”.

“The level of frustration with the inaction of political leaders and corporations on the climate crisis is just really boiling over,” Young said.

What a great way to win hearts and influence people—just disrupt their lives and cause them trouble and inconvenience! What a great idea! Converts will be thronging to their cause.

Greta needs to go back to school.

Who the hell pushed her forward as the face of this Children’s Crusade?

Are we even allowed to call it a Children’s Crusade, or would that offend Muslims?

Bunch of paid protesters - commies... They don’t give a damn about gun deaths - if they did they’d be protesting in Democrat hellholes like Chicago, Detroit and Newark...

Thanks for the advance warning to avoid the area.

I hope they tie the District of Corruption in knots.

Last night Jesse Watters interviewed a British whack job chick who’s part of a movement to stop reproducing until the climate change issue is fixed. (I call that a win — no offspring from these weirdos.)

She was one nasty piece of work, and I believe she had to be bleeped at least once.

The ones who should be offended by Pippi Wrongstocking are the Mongoloid-American vote. Proof that you should never put your ugly child in front of a camera unless it’s at home during the holidays.

Rising Tide is panicking about the static sea level.

The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.

Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising

“intensifying crisis.”

These people have been brainwashed due to phrases like that being put in news articles. The rats will use this BS for all its worth.

The hurricane which is near the east coast will be used as evidence of global warming. It doesn’t matter that hurricanes have happened since time immemorial. This one will be cited as more evidence of global warming.

What are the “NO! Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime!” signs? Are they RevCom again?
