After 8-year-old Mollie Passacantando, daughter of Greenpeace USA's executive director, read a story about polar bears in class this year, the Fairfax County youngster and her friends spent recess marching around the playground with signs reading, "Stop global warming. Save the polar bears." A classmate taunted, "You can march all you want, but you're not going to save a single polar bear."

That riled Mollie up. With her father, John Passacantando, she started a blog to get the polar bear put on the endangered species list.

I talked with a greenpeace moonbat protesting out front the other day. She knew one or two facts and a lot of anticorporate propaganda. I pointed out that the old growth trees she was trying to save are carbon positive but replacing them with younger trees would sequester carbon. I talked about inexpensive ways to cool the earth if that becomes necessary. I pointed out that many of the people driving by would be out of work. She had a deer in the headlights look in between blurting out bits of memorized propaganda. Finally she said "I do not wish to speak with you any more".
