For every Friday of fall 2019, Jane Fonda was on Capitol Hill, protesting climate change alongside friends like Gloria Steinem and actresses Rosanna Arquette, Sally Field and Catherine Keener.
Fonda could spend her time in retirement, enjoying the fruits of an illustrious Hollywood career. Instead, on the eve of her 82nd birthday, she was led out of the Hart Senate Building in handcuffs. She had been arrested for civil disobedience.
Since September, Fonda says she’s “lost count” of how many times she’s been arrested. Since October, she had begun organizing weekly protests with the catchy nickname “Fire Drill Fridays.” She said she was inspired by activist Greta Thunberg, who every Friday since last year has been boycotting school to protest climate change.
Fonda acknowledges that climate activism can “seem overwhelming.”
“But here's the thing. In cities all over the country and states…they're all at the table figuring out what has to be done to reduce the carbon footprint of their particular city or state,” she said. “It's happening. It's just now it has to happen globally.”
Fonda believes that right now, “the most important thing is that all new fossil fuel expansion has to stop.”
“We can have windmills and solar panels and hydroelectric and all of those things. But if they keep drilling and keep emitting fossil fuel carbon dioxide, we're not gonna get there,” she said.

Thankfully, I grew out of that and gained a level of discernment which includes knowing how ignorant I was and still am.
But, it appears that a good number of folks are stuck in that early stage.
You notice they never bring up nuclear power.
The safest and most powerful energy on the planet and it is a no-go for Leftist.
You see it would actually solve the problem without strangling the economy.
The do not want to do anything that might help our capitalistic economy.
Hanoi Jane remains a crackpot.
What is OPs?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
Hanoi And is now a climate scientist? During the 60s, she was a political scientist, but really what she is a crappy actress. The Fondas been evil...He was a good actor, but evil politically...
The term needs to be removed from society. It must be challenged anytime it is spoken (meaning our liberal friends, not you or I)....
