(KATOWICE, Poland) - Thousands of people from around the world marched Saturday through the southern Polish city that’s hosting this year’s U.N. climate talks, demanding that their governments take tougher action to curb global warming.

Protesters included farmers from Latin America, environmentalists from Asia, students from the United States and families from Europe, many of whom said climate change is already affecting their lives.

“Climate change is the thing that frightens me the most,” said Michal Dabrwoski from Warsaw, who brought his young daughter to the march. “I’m a father and it’s kind of crucial that she will have a decent life.”

Think of all the fossil fuel consumed and greenhouse gas emitted getting all those people to Poland. If they really cared about Climate, they’d have stayed home.

At the same time hundreds of thousands are doing more than merely ‘marching’.... in protest of the actual consequences of the elite’s ‘climate change’ scheme.

I think the rioters in Paris and France have the opposite viewpoint about the real impact climate change has on them.

It means more money for the elites and nothing will change with the climate, which has always changed.

Talking about climate change is entirely different from the real world impact it has on people's wallets and standard of living.

Talk is cheap they say.

Global warming would disappear in an instant; the moment they start using real data and scientific method.

Extreme cold is a symptom of global warming.

You stole my line!

I..I...I mean.... we think alike.

OK, here's my second point. "Protesters included farmers from Latin America, environmentalists from Asia, students from the United States and families from Europe..."

Yeah. Just regular grassroots people who can afford to fly to Katowice, Poland (or who could even pronounce it or find it on a map) who want to march in the streets, in December, IN FAVOR OF higher fuel prices.

Whatever it is they're drinking at TIME/AP, I want some o' that.

The one *good* part is that they are spewing out all that CO2 from their train travel (or better, let's not kid ourselves, they all came thanks to the genius of jet engines), so they did do a good deed for Mother Green Gaia.

Gotta go turn my compost pile. In terms of warming gases, that's like one big salubrious exhale.

My compost is under a couple of inches of ice, because Warming. All those jet fumes and exhales in Poland aren’t doing me a bit of good!

In the second series of Rick Riordan’s books about Percy Jackson et al, Gaia is the super-villainess. “I thought Mother Earth was all nice and everything!” “No way! She wants to destroy all humans and human civilization!”
