A downtown protest of the climate change talks in Copenhagen became a victim of Wednesday's snowstorm.
"Not many people showed up because of the blizzard conditions," said organizer Clea Major, an international studies student at the University of Utah.
It didn't take long for the six friends to pack up a bullhorn and posters they'd planned to use for their "scream-in," an outlet for their frustration about the failure of the Copenhagen climate talks earlier this month to curb the pollution blamed for climate change.

ROFL. unlike a lot of the b.s. purveyors I do realize perfectly well that one storm (or even one or a few years) says nothing about long-term climate trends.
Still, the irony of one of these idiot protests getting "snowed out" is simply too good not to enjoy.

Hey, speak respectfully of these young collectivists; they’re the smartest people on mother earth, and they know better than you.
Sure they live in a bubble, but it’s a bubble full of really smart people.

Did the fifth horseman of the apocalypse drop by with his frigid moral support?

A ‘scream-in’??? “I can’t HEAR you” is appropriate. And who, by the way, were they screaming AT? Gad, sounds like toddlers.

That’s true; on the other hand, how many times have you heard about similar things happening?

“She called Wednesday evening’s effort a success and possibly the first in a series. As for the snow, it’s not entirely new; a protest she attended last year in Washington, D.C., suffered a similar fate.”

If this was an isolated incident, I would agree. But this happens so frequently it's become a cliche.

Question: why do these folks always seem to be holding global warming protests during the winter?
