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.”

Imagine tying your shoelaces and going out to spend the day marching just to say what mainstream media and public schools are already churning out 24/7.

Does it really look like "tens of thousands" of protestors? LOL

Out the camera down on the surface of the pavement and shoot up is a tried and true method of hiding the fact the crowd is much smaller than you expected. It only shows the front of the group and obscures anything behind by covering it with those in the front. I overhand shot would go a long way to showing the size of the crowd of that were the thrust of the story. This is propaganda, pure and simple, not truth.

The fact we can see light between the legs of those in front puts the lie to this propaganda claim. If there were “tens of thousands of demonstrators” following these in front, there would be no possibility of seeing light behind them. Just legs and more legs. This is a typical Leftist ploy to multiply a very small crowd into multitudes.

There is no way to create their New World without the genocide of most of us.

That, of course, is the goal.

There’s no such a thing as a fossil fuel.

Organizers estimated 75,000 people took part in Sunday's march. Among them was 8-year-old Athena Wilson from Boca Raton, Fla. She and her mother, Maleah, flew in just for the protest.

And I bet they did not use a glider or a hot-air balloon.

:-)))

If you are a conspiracy theorist practical realist, it is not a stretch to think that elites already know this and are implementing plans to ensure their survival and comfort if the worst happens.

They need to take the “zero” pledge—they must use no energy for one full year—that means no electricity, no cars, no airplanes, not even a motorboat....

… cell phone, tablet, or computer… or cooked food, or any food they do not grow themselves in their own back yard with fertilizer they provide themselves with their own productivity. Nothing shipped to them, using tools they make from materials available in their neighborhood that are ‘natural.’ Nothing machine made. Girls “Girl up!”

Want to communicate with your likeminded friends? Use natural means like yelling loudly… or smoke signals (oh, wait, that’s full of CO2 and other human made pollutants, right? Guess you’re back to yelling loudly, unless you can figure out how to make non-carbon paper… oh, yeah, clay tablets!!). i know you don’t like killing Bambi or Thunper, so unless you can figure out rock wool making, you’ll be naked… or wearing leaf and grass skirt clothing. Hint, it’s not very stylish… or warm.

Are they protesting about too much water too?

Water vapor is by far the largest constituent of “greenhouse gases.”

One way to soften the effects of the coming warm period, would be to drastically decrease the existing population. Less people would mean more land and resources per person. If you are a conspiracy theorist, it is not a stretch to think that elites already know this and are implementing plans to ensure their survival and comfort if the worst happens.

Uh, no. As the earth gets warmer, more of the land in Siberia and Northern Europe, and Canada becomes arable land to grow crops on. The population of the world is not as great as you seem to think it is that we could become “crowed together.” In actual fact, you could take the entire population of the entire world, move them to Texas, and even distribute them over that entire state and not one person would stand within 32 feet of another person. To put it another way, there are 2.3 acres of arable land per person for every one on Earth today… if the earth were to gain the temperatures projected by the warmist crowd, the arable growing area now taken up by tundra and ice in the northern climes, would nearly double… increasing that to almost five acres of arable land per person. Of course, this down and dirty estimation says nothing of infrastructure and support for the population, but there’s lots of land around left over for that, as it just is discussing arable land, not non-arable land.

This is about people who really do not want to move from the coasts if this were actually true. It’s about status quo and social inertia.

A climatologist of long standing repute has just published a peer-reviewed paper putting ALL their computer models into question because they’ve overlooked the very important question of how much cloud cover acts in mitigating warming… and it accounts for the entire pause in the warming none of their models forecasted that occurred over the last 20 years. It’s what they’ve not accounted for and puts the lie to their predictions.

The overall albedo of the planet has been ignored. Climatologist were concerned with including surface albedo in their models but did not account for overall atmospheric albedo, a fatal flaw in their modeling.

this idea that humanity is the problem and to cure the planet mankind must be treated as a global disease is the basis for the elite’s move to force the reduction of the population to half a billion by some target date by whatever means necessary including civil disruptions, war, disease, forced abortions, and forced eugenics. They of course will be in the remaining half Billion people left after programs are over. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other so-called non-profits have been pushing this as a stated goal. The Covid planned-demic may have been a practice run for the next, more serious pathogen in the offing, a staging of how easily controlled the sheeple can be when the government and the media are pulling them around by fear.

I see the video did show a good size crowd which the NYC police estimated at 10,000 marching… but the news people arbitrarily doubled the number to 20,000. Who do we believe, the police who are experts at crowd handling and estimating, or the bias news media who are talking with an agenda? My vote is with the police who may have a bit of an agenda to expand the numbers to show the handled a bit larger crowd peacefully and safely.

I saw a crowd of people who had been handed blue “Biden” hats, so someone organized the hat hand out, probably free, knowing that Democrat Leftists of the mostly young crowd in NewYork won’t pay for paraphernalia, and a lot of duplicated signs about climate change.

No worries. They can render fat from their aborted babies for lubricant.

You are correct. Those beautiful leaves are the top of the list for increasing movement in the arms and even your hands.
