300,000 marchers ring climate warning bell in NYC, around globe
CBS News ^ | 09/21/2014

NEW YORK - Over three hundred thousand activists walked through Manhattan on Sunday, warning that climate change is destroying the Earth - in stride with demonstrators around the world who urged policymakers to take quick action.

Starting along Central Park West, most came on foot, others with bicycles and walkers, and some even in wheelchairs. Many wore costumes and marched to drumbeats. One woman played the accordion.

But their message was not entertaining: "We're going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way," said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square.

The crowds of marchers, which included actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Evangeline Lilly, wound through midtown Manhattan, joined along the way by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, former Vice President Al Gore and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

In New York organizers said there were around 310,000 marchers, making it possibly the biggest single demonstration on climate change to date.

The march was one of a series of events large and small held around the world - organizers said 40,000 marchers took part in an event in London, while a small gathering in Cairo featured 50-foot art piece representing wind and solar energy - two days before the United Nations Climate Summit. More than 120 world leaders will convene Tuesday for the meeting aimed at galvanizing political will for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.

It is true. What the lefties don’t understand is they glob onto whatever they think the majority is. They do not base anything on facts.

They are the minimum wage thinker of the 21st century. The Democrats own them. They always will.

These cultists brought to my mind the words of Thomas Jefferson:

“Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck.”

—Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Smith, 1822

Thinking about all the carbon credits they burned up to get there, all the greenhouse gasses they created and all the trash they left behind.....

RI sent a fleet of buses. I can guarantee they left more than footprints behind.

I’ll bet that not long from now there will be a ‘special climate change tax’ paid directly to the UN...that only Americans pay. For everyone else, including the biggest polluters, it’ll be business as usual.

Conservative events are under reported by 90% (I was at 9/12, 1.5 million mysteriously became 30k).

Wacko lefty events are reported exactly the opposite. One person morphs into a dozen.

He is a big founder of some Oceana or something and did declare in 2001 that Oceans would be without fish in 10 years.

He also hooked up with Hoopi Goldberg. It’s not rocket science. God protects drunks and fools.

Great posting!

I experienced all of that other than the cost of a house. My parents bought the brand new house I grew up in for $3700 on a 30 year note. $45k would have bought a dozen houses on my street!

Yeah, right! 300,000 people in Manhattan walking in the road. Isn't that called Sunday?

The fact is that it looked closer to 30,000 people lots of street level shots of old hippies slowly shuffling down the street with bad drumming and worse lyrics.

Call me when it is 90 deg again in August since we didn't have one 90 deg day this year! It is 55 now, Happy Climate Change, pass the blankets!
