Hilarious video clip of climate crusader turned opportunistic occupier Bill McKibben leading a flock of protestors in chant.
It reminds me of this classic scene…
h/t to The Daily Bayonet who named McKibben “hippie of the week”. Kenji got props too.
BTW, those wiggly five fingers in the air you see behind McKibben are “twinkles”, which is hippie sign language for “I agree”.
Its really rubbish , if you going to do this at least keep in short and simply , you really can’t have people repeating a ramble it just looks and sounds stupid.
Soylent ,
Please remember that the CRA was Carter’s baby . I read the Krugman piece and think he’s wrong – the MSM plays this up , but the whole thing doesn’t seem to be getting much tracton in ” fly over ” country .
My first response was a gag reflex.
Brainless enviro zombies energized by the mindless ramblings of the village idiot.
I’m sorry, I had to stop watching that. What a pathetic load of b*llocks. Childish, pointless, etc., etc., etc. I could go on, but will conclude by saying that he managed, in one fell swoop, to make even Al “Millions of degrees” Gore look smart. Gah.
Loved the Blazing Saddles clip, though :D.
I dont know if this article should have been posted.
The guy is obviously not 100% fit, which makes him vulnerable.
It is not fair to take advantage of someone with a mental disability :(.
Between Hansen and McKibben, does anyone have any doubt of the political leanings or goals of these climate alarmists?
Ha ha! I cringed the whole way through that video, laughed a fue times and felt a little bit sick at the end.
But in all seriousness It’s unfortunate that Bill McKibben has found himself surrounded by a herd of brain dead Zombies, Some scientists say that is only a mater of time before this type of Zombie evolves into a flesh eating necromancer that is known to even attack other Zombies, at the moment this lower form of Zombified humanoid (Homo Coprophagus Somnambulus) is usually found chanting around people that they believe are in possession of a living brain, which raises the question of why are they surrounding Bill McKibben? Although there are many theories and speculations being discussed among the scientific community concerning this disturbing behavior, a primarily consensus is beginning to form under the precautionary principle, soon to be released by the International Panel on Zombie Contagion (IPZC).
In the first assessment report by the IPZC It is recommended that people avoid contact with such creatures for at least 29 days, and to resist saying anything intelligent that would attract an audience of chanting Zombies, avoid breathing in any noxious fumes being emitted by the ‘Homo hippy erraticus’ a slower moving dopey form of Homo Coprophagus Somnambulus who’s fumes will make you susceptible to it’s mind numbing verbal noises and various other sounds.
A recommended defense strategy when cornered by a herd is to point upward and begin chanting in a dreary undead groan “Global warming’ errr Global warming argh”
So you long for the days of sacrificing babies to the Beezlebub of ancient Summeria or the burning sacrifice of chickens, goats, and other animals, including a man (Wicca). As long as they don’t eat of this burnt flesh, and remain vegan. Is that what you are saying? GK
Wait! They’re not done yet.
William M. Briggs reports on Occupy Sacramento!
If McKibben is so upset by the pipeline company employing a company it’s worked with before for the EIS, is he going to condemn the pal review of the AGW research paper writing crowd?
The last results of the statistical modeling shows 5.3 journalists covering the story per actual occupier (USA only).
This bonehead fails to understand that oil is fungible asset sold in a global market. If the Canadians don’t sell it to us, they’ll sell it to someone else. It will be used for fuel irrespective of the pipeline.
I’m hoping for for a lot of pouring cold rain to inundate the east coast.

What are you going on about? The ancient Jews cruelly sacrificed animals right and left, and some sects sacrificed humans. Have you forgotten the story of Abraham being asked to make a burnt offering of his own child before God jumps in and says, “Just kidding! It was a test!!!” Abraham was all ready to do it, and he’s held up as an example of a good father?
This 2011, not 3000 B.C. Most of the ancient world’s religions, including its versions of Judaism and Christianity, were barbaric by today’s standards. Buddhism is an offshoot of Hinduism. Buddhism and many Hindu sects prohibit and condemn any form of sacrifice, but some sects of Hinduism actively practice it.
Jim Jones was a Christian.
Beelzebub is a mistranslation, sometimes claimed, incorrectly, to mean “Lord of the Flies.” It’s a variant of Baal, meaning “Lord,” and is used in Judeo-Christian scripture for God AND for Jesus too. It is not by itself a pejorative or negative term.
Obviously, you didn’t read my post, just reacted knee-jerk. It must be fun belonging to a religion that encourages such instant hostility.
By the way, the so called Wiccan sacrifice you reference was performed by a crazy woman pretending to be a Wiccan. But, such distinctions probably don’t matter when you’ve already made up your mind.
Look up Mithra and Krishna and their contributions to the Christian story. Better yet, start here:

Apparently it is perfectly honorable to be a sceptic of AGW, but scepticism of the contemporary version of capitalism is a sign of despicable communist tendencies…
To answer your question directly, yes. But we’ll see you a McKibben and raise you a Gilliard! 😀

“Roger, I’ve never understood what OWS is all about. Wall Street and Big Banking didn’t bail themselves out. Big Banking didn’t want to make loans to people who couldn’t afford them. The OWS people need to learn about the Community Reinvestment Act and how the Justice Department under the Clinton Administration threatened to sue banks if they didn’t start making loans to people who couldn’t afford them. ”
They don’t want to know; they want to play revolutionaries. OWS is all about fame ( in the 15-min-of-fame sense ); it is DIY “reality” TV.
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Anton:
Wrong again, I don’t belong to any organized religion. Defending depraved pagan human and animal sacrifices by citing Judeo-Christian outrages, hardly convinces me, that Gaia/Climate worship should be encouraged. Run along to your coven, and examine fresh entrails, for additional understanding. Meanwhile, me and the “big guy upstairs”, will continue our argument, as to the proper role of Man (myself) in His universe. We have already settled the matter of Pagans – they are out. Sorry, we are now deciding about [snip. Please don’t go there. ~dbs, mod.]. GK

WetMan, you are the very first commenter on this thread who used the word “communist”.
dbs: That was a skit right out of South Park. Are you saying WUWT is less controversial than prime time television. Regardless, everyone now knows the forbidden word. It is not nice to snip a conversation with GOD. GK
Beam me up Scotty.
how about this one?

For somebody visiting a science site, your interest in reality appears to be zero. Since pagans make up far more than half the world’s population, and were the sole contributers to ancient Far Eastern, ancient Middle Eastern , and classical Western, architecture, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, and civilization, your dismissal of them amounts to cutting off your own nose to spite your own face. Try living without the ideas and things pagans have either invented or manufactured. It cannot be done in the civilized world. Our Republican form of government is a product of paganism. So is indoor plumbing,
A lot of the occupiers have student loans, as they admit in this video. So for them it makes perfect economic sense to try to crush the current financial system – it would be the easy way out for them.
