WATKINS GLEN — The Finger Lakes March for Climate Justice will be at 1 p.m. Sunday in downtown Watkins Glen.

The march will begin with a rally at the marina and then marchers will go through downtown south to the foot of Watkins Glen State Park and back.

Speakers will include Cornell University climate scientist Robert Howarth, Tompkins County Legislator Martha Robertson, Renovus Solar CEO Joe Sliker, solar energy expert Suzanne Hunt of Yates County and biologist and climate activist Sandra Steingraber of Trumansburg. Steingraber and Howarth will travel to France for the Paris Climate Summit soon after Sunday’s march.

It sounds to me as though these clowns aren’t being taxed enough yet. It might be time to “tax the hell” out of them.

There are some beautiful state parks in that region of New York.

“Here on the banks of Seneca Lake, the site of so much contention over New York’s energy future, we declare our faith in wind, water and sun,’’ Steingraber said. “We turn our backs on coal, oil and gas.

Wind, water, and sun aren't going to keep you very warm during winter in upstate NY.

I’ve never really had a clear idea about the meaning of “climate justice”. At first, I thought it was about desertification in third -world countries and Pacific islands being flooded, but now I think it means something like it’s unfair that some people are too cold, some are too hot, and only rich whites are just right.

AMEN! I have my two carbon emitting wood stoves to keep me warm.

I find it the height of hypocrisy flying to Paris on a FOSSIL FUELED jet to a climate conference.

It just says they are “traveling” to Paris. I’m sure they are going by sail or maybe rowing. I have only one CO2 belching wood stove but I like not having to use it the past few days thanks to global warming.

Forecast for temps in the 30s and strong north winds. Perfect weather for socialists and useful idiots.

I do love this area. So far we’ve only gone through it to go somewhere else but I would love to spend a couple of weeks here.

I live just to the north of this area. Beautiful, yes, but not worth it with Prince Andrew at the helm, the EPA, DEC (which tried to fine a guy for having ‘too many climbers’ in his mountain climbing party up at the adirondacks), massive tax burden and all the pinko commies you have to rub elbows with daily.

I plan to retire in about 9 years—hope I can make it out of this state by then.

Come to Kansas. LOL Actually, we like the fact that our population is low here.

I’d feel better if the temps dropped to sub zero for their “march.”

My retirement will coincide with hub’s ex-wife getting off the payroll.

We have some of the worst draconian child support laws for middle class non-minority males here (goes to 21 mandatory and beyond). I’m still straightening out a ‘discrepancy’ from Feb, March and April of this year.

Hub’s ex-wife would probably be one of those marchers as she’s a lib feminazi. Minority males and non custodial moms get a free pass.

“Renovus Solar CEO Joe Sliker”

No conflict there.

According to satellite data which can't be fudged quite as easily as ground based weather stations cyclic global temperatures haven't increased in approximately 20 years. Because of the projected decrease in solar activity there is the very real possibility that world wide temperatures will be dropping off dramatically as soon as ten years from now. That is when the real trouble will start.

Finger Lakes? lol Every time I hear the words “climate change” My first thought is of having a 5th grade social studies lesson on how the Finger Lakes were carved millions of years ago by massive shifting glaciers. Now-a-days this would be called climate change. It seems that it is nothing new and it’s not stoppable by humans. So get over it folks, a million years from now, will be different then today, as today is different then a million years ago. There are worse things happening in this world then slow moving climate change. I suggest watching: Why are we afraid of a 1400 year old secret. Scary stuff, an ideology that plans to move faster to change and destroy not just the globe, but humanity. And these ideologues plan to do it faster then climate ever will, unless good people wake up and not only stop it, but this time destroy it forever.

Just keep those nasty solar and wind farms out of our backyards and don’t build any hydro dams, right moron?

Hypocrites
