I hope the enviro wackos have fun playing in the snow today :laugh2:


NASA's chief climate scientist is in hot water with colleagues and at least one lawmaker after calling on citizens to engage in civil disobedience at what is being billed as the largest public protest of global warming ever in the United States.

In a video on capitolclimateaction.org, Dr. James Hansen is seen urging Americans to "take a stand on global warming" during the March 2 protest at the Capitol Power Plant in Southeast Washington, D.C.

"We need to send a message to Congress and the president that we want them to take the actions that are needed to preserve climate for young people and future generations and all life on the planet," says Hansen, who has likened coal-fired power plants to "factories of death" and claims he was muzzled by the Bush administration when he warned of drastic climate changes.

"What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet. The only practical way to solve the problem is to phase out the biggest source of carbon — and that's coal."

Got this in an email from a friend on mine in regards to the weather he is getting hit with

Dear Mother Nature,

If possible, could you send some global warming on the east coast? In areas like Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina we are not accustomed to seeing snow storms in March. It would be nice to see some warm weather. Also, I understand that there is some sort of protest in Washington over global warming today - this snowstorm could make things a little difficult for them.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.


Residents of the East Coast

Pelosi, Markey Miss Global Warming Protest because of Snowstorm
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had to cancel an appearance Monday at a global warming rally in Washington, D.C., that was hit by a snowstorm because her flight was delayed

House Select Energy Independence and Global Warming Chairman Edward Markey (D-Mass.), who was scheduled to speak at the global warming event, also canceled his appearance because of the inclement weather,

despite the lawmakers' absence, about 500 protesters braved temperatures in the mid-20s, wind chill temps in the low teens, and congregated on the Capitol lawn.
