Climate change protesters shut down some intersections from Capitol Hill to downtown Washington Monday morning in the latest of a series of rallies around the world designed to force policymakers to respond to Earth’s rising temperatures.

Organizers of Shut Down DC urged “climate rebels” to flood the District’s streets Monday to bring “the whole city to a gridlocked standstill,” according to the group’s website. The website included a map of so-called “climate criminals” that includes “corporations, lobbyists, trade cartels, and government institutions that are most responsible for creating the climate crisis.”

By 8:30 a.m. Monday, health-care workers and other activists had gathered at Folger Park on Capitol Hill.

Anyone else notice, that the media and activists, have shifted, and are now calling it the “climate crisis”, rather than “climate change”?????

What kills kids? Cold or hot?

I’ll give you two choices of trying to survive outdoors for 48 hours

First example is -20° the second one is 120° you choose
