Tens of thousands march in New York, demanding end to warming-causing fossil fuels

Yelling that the future and their lives depend on ending fossil fuels, tens of thousands of protesters on Sunday kicked off a week where leaders will try once again to curb climate change primarily caused by coal, oil and natural gas.

But protesters say it's not going to be enough. And they aimed their wrath directly at President Biden, urging him to stop approving new oil and gas projects, phase out current ones and declare a climate emergency with larger executive powers.

“We hold the power of the people, the power you need to win this election,” 17-year-old Emma Buretta of Brooklyn and the youth protest group Fridays for Future said. “If you want to win in 2024, if you do not want the blood of my generation to be on your hands, end fossil fuels.”

If these little bass turds would stop using so much electricity we could stop using so much fossil fuel.

How does a society function when 20-30% of the propulsion is actually delusional/insane (LGBT stuff, climate change, systemic white supremacy)? The only way to handle crazy people is to totally disengage.

The end of fossil fuels is the end of food.

Say “Hello” to Holodomor.

Everything that we use or eat every single day is brought to us by fossil fuels. This is why public schools have failed so miserably. Most Americans don’t know jack sh&&!

What would these idiots do if the oil companies just said “Screw it!” and closed down all the gas stations, power plants, and distribution chains for NYC that depend on fossil fuels? They’d starve to death while burning their signs to keep warm.

My first question: Did they all WALK or ride a bike or a horse in from all corners of the USA to stage their protest?

What? They took busses, trains and planes you say?

My pronouns are, ‘Shut’ and ‘Up.’

Demonstrating for more of what the ruling class is already up to.

LOL , women complaining about men.

Off topic, reminds me, that my wife would get together with friends, and she would tell me how everyone was bitching about their husbands.

And then she said how nice to come home to me, as she had nothing to add to that conversation.

Exactly.

We need to take a page out of the Alinsky playbook and yank the power off in in their abodes; in other words, make these idiots live up to their own rules.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

The people who want to rule will always defeat the people who want to be left alone.

Either you rule. Or you will be ruled.

There is no third option.

Dear 17-year-old Emma: Plan your college major carefully so you can land the post-fossil fuels career you want when you graduate...
