“Inaction, dude,” said green-haired fine arts student Joe George, when I asked him what was the scariest part about global warming. “I keep imagining where I live in Brooklyn, just under water. It’s horrifying. You can’t stop the Atlantic Ocean.”

Those green haired artist dudes have absolutely no idea who really:
1. Won WWII in late August 1945
2. Formed the UN on 24 Oct 1945
In order to expand his totalitarian rule of the USSR globally:

Forming the UN was a huge mistake.
I’d be OK with the UN if the democrat party wasn’t filled with communists and there weren’t so many idiots in the US.
But the democrat party is filled with communists.
I’m undecided on that one – the UN Headquarters is in NYC. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
There’s a plus for putting Manhattan underwater… shut down the UN. Where do I sign that petition?
Good grief….
“Moving to New Orleans really politicized me about climate change, since the Gulf Coast is predicted to have the worst sea-level rise,” said Davidson’s classmate, Emma Collin, 21.”
Hey Dumb arse, if you are so worried about getting your feet wet move to higher ground already. “It’s so simple even a caveman can do it” (and likely did). Makes you wonder how the heck the human race survived this long with folks too stupid to move to dry land…….
Oh noes, somebody predicted I’ll get my feet wet, hurry up and control the weather already…..
Of course the good news is these loons could only collect 400k folks out of 330 million to get their undies all wadded up. That’s a wadded undies rate of about 0.12%, or in engineering circles that’s about equal to “zero point sheet divided by infinity”.
Cheers, Kevin.
Please…I live in Santa Fe…7000 ft…do not bring them here we have enough fools here
Ummm… what are they teaching for geography today. (I know, but I have to pose the question.) Doesn’t Ms. Collins, 21, know that most of New Orleans is already below sea level and has been for as long as the city’s actually existed?
Yes, and a bit off-topic, but Katrina can be summed up in a few sentences. “You live in a city that sits basically in a bowl, several feet below sea-level, right next to the ocean, and a category 5 hurricane is coming. What do you do? All the rest is politics and the blame game.
A) Leave
B) Drop your pants, bend over, put your head between your legs and kiss your a$$ good-bye.
C) Wait for the government to tell you to do A or B…
Why don’t they build houses on foundations like floating docks? Big water comes, just unhook the utilities and wait for the flood to subside… Cheaper than rebuilding.
They do. The Dutch have the technology and it works:

And it actually hit land as a weak category 3.
Evolution in action. Next suggest they camp in the Arctic to show solidarity with the polar bears (from within the polar bears).

Seems some of the idiots tried that this summer. They were trying to get through the NW passage got stuck, polar bear showing interest and they had no firearms aboard. Unfortunately the Canadians had to go rescue the fools.
That is unfortunate
Assholes, all.
400,000?!?!?!?!!?
Making up numbers like their heroes Jones and Hansen…
We have been sliding downhill since the extinction of the sabertooths. They used to eat the dumb loud ones.
Maybe the answer to AGW supporters is to turn loose some major predators in Manhattan and not allow any one legally allowed to carry a firearm kill them. I figure we could kill two stupid ideas with one act. End the debate about AGW and gun control. Of course that would not be humane to the poor predators after all they would grow fat and lazy, maybe even develop heart disease.
The poor predators would spend most of their time licking their arses to get the taste out of their mouths…

I vote to release cute, cuddly polar bears with cases of Coca-Cola strapped to their backs.
And signs on their backs saying “follow me for free beer and Pizza”.
If “you can’t stop the Atlantic Ocean”, “inaction” isn’t going to matter.
Looks like the combined total of brain cells of the protesters was less than one.
Maybe the alarmists can take up a picture of King Canute as their logo.
“People marched in clogs, dreadlocks, optimistic T-shirts, Native-American headdresses, bike helmets, feathered hats, Lorax costumes and biohazard suits. Babies wore diapers. One woman dressed as Charlie Chaplin and carried a sign depicting a blackened earth, with just the word “Oops.” And Danny Haemmerle wasn’t the only person dressed as a banana.”
This is supposed to make us take them seriously?
They say they want “action” but I don’t think they would like it if they got it!
I thought it was a gay pride march ’til I saw the signs.
Probably the same people!
Surely.
‘What a field day for the heat.
A thousand people in the street,
Singing songs and carrying signs,
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side.”’
Stephen Stills
Oh Gamecock…
“What a field day for….the HEAT!”
Gotta love it.
Were they hot?
Not any of the pics I saw. Why can’t the new crowd look like the cute hippy chicks from my youth? Someone needs to scan some copies of Life magazine from the 60’s and post them so these kids know how to protest with some style… these people are just embarrassing.
True and counterintuitive. Normally, as we age the pool of cute chicks keeps expanding. So much of this crowd is of another variety:
The temperature was 74 degrees. Yeah, where are all the cute flower girls.?

Yep, Beer Goggles can only get so thick and then you pass out. The old saying that “they all look good at closing time” simply is not true for me though for some guys it most certainly is.
I will not say that in my single days I always used the best judgment, but I still have both my arms and never had to chew one off to get away, so I guess I did ok.
Same with me except I was more lucky than smart. Or I was lucky enough to know when to feel lucky when I could get lucky … oh, Hell, you get the idea …
I always got designated driver status, but I doubt any amount of alcohol could make that bunch look good – YUCK!!!!
As predicted, all these people were potheads, as I’ve said all along. The entire AGW movement is a result of jahoochie abuse.
i fear the substances they abuse are far stronger than pot morgan. i know a few pot heads,none of them have any time for the mmgw meme.
Maybe we should start a meme. “Did you know that one of the effects of Climate Change is that marijuana will grow faster and be more potent? Yeah, it is true!”
And as green hair proves, you cannot stop stupid either.
The dumbest remark that I saw was one guy who said on camera “we have to do something because the climate doesn’t change on its own” Just think about how utterly stupid that remark is! and these ill informed people actually believe it with all their heart and soul. Whats even scarier is that this is not just one or two people who believe this but a sizable portion of our population! How very sad 🙁
And we are the ‘deniers’ and ‘flat earthers’?
That guy is a parody of himself. How do you have an intelligent conversation with inane uninformed cause-heads like that?!?
This is GREAT to see during the election season! Really. It is a paid political commercial which says “If you want these extremist, left wing progressives to control your life, vote Democrat.” BTW – how many politicians up for reelection were marching with these people? I mean, this issue is such a WINNER with the electorate…
Well, Al Gore was there, and we know that he’s a greedy hypocrite and a unabashed fraud.
If they believe this…..what would it take to get them to believe in 72 virgins
You mean you can actually find 72?
I had something more sinister in mind……….
Sometimes I think Lincoln had the right idea. But instead of sending blacks back to Africa we should send the loons there. Monrovia is such a lovely place this time of year.
One of the stories being circulated in News Items about the march is:
“Other events around the world include an event in rural Papua New Guinea, where primary school students will march to a lighthouse semi-submerged due to rising sea levels,”
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/19/campaigners-london-march-climate-change
Given that this is clearly impossible, I presume this is propaganda which is being repeated without question, but I can’t find any fact behind the story, i.e. where is the lighthouse and what is the true story behind the claim.
A celebration around this maybe — Kalibobo lighthouse at the harbour entrance commemorates New Guinea coast watchers who aided the Allies during World War II.
Or maybe this?
THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI OF 17 JULY 1998 IN PAPUA-NEW GUINEA
Thanks but they don’t seem to the bill.
Doesn’t look “semi-submerged” to me.

I can’t see anything about lighthouses in you second link.
All of the articles about this reference the Press Agency an are not attributed to a particular journalist. I can find nothing on the internet which substantiates the claim. Yet it is printed as fact.
It turns out that lighthouse was not the one in question, but a replacement for the actual one referred to in the press release, which was about 100 metres further south and of which only the cement foundations remain (about 2 feet high).
They claim that the shoreline has moved a further 15 metres (total 115 metres) further north, in the last 10 years due to sea level rise and that the foundations are now submerged when the tide is high enough.
I personally believe this is more likely to be due to coastal erosion because what figures there are, suggest there hasn’t been enough sea level rise in the last 10 years. Even the organisers only claim 7mm p.a. since 1993.
Would that have been enough to move the shoreline 115 metres?
that 400,000 number was pure wishcasting by ‘Time’. the actual number on Wall Street was less than 40,000 and the mess at the park was normal folks getting mobbed by the moron brigade trying to find somewhere to go. Everyone got counted, usually twice.
