Picture of the week – great moments in climate protests

I trained to be a 350.org climate activist, now I are one!

From the Keystone XL protest yesterday ahead of the SOTU address. Note the snow and cold weather gear which is required for a global warming protest, but that’s not all…

350-Keystone-20140128-00112

According to Matt Dempsey who took the photo, “about 50 activists showed up”, I’m not sure if their brains came with them to the protest though.

Obviously when the looked down at it from the back it read correctly. The snow and their clothing added the stupidity of it all!

OR what? Could have been ARE climate Champion???
Upside down? Thats so 1/2 the congress could read it…while standing on their heads, when told to do so by their masters!

HILARIOUS!!!
BTW – this organisation of fools needs to change it’s name – perhaps 400.org err, nope – let’s make it 500,org – that way we won’t have to change it again for a while.
ROTFLMAO
Cheers.

Reminds me of a wannabe gang member in NZ that tattooed the gang name across his forehead, in the mirror.

Is that sign made out of plastic? They just don’t get it, do they.
On being upside down – I hope they didn’t notice. 🙂

Looks like a picture of the climate model predictions, upside down.
They must be model huggers.
OT Anthony, I have been studying the Great Lakes Ice Forecast Models. They are a complete Failure.
No lie or Joke.
I posted some model run pictures on my twitter act.
Lake superior ice forecast model completely failed in two days. Ice concentration on 1/27 Was at 48% and 120 hr forecast was for ice concentration to decrease to 37% in 120 yes. Ice grew in two days from 48% to 67% at mid day today.
Now I know how the Arctic alarmist failed so bad.
Links on my twitter act posted today for NOOA great lakes ice data link.

Gives me a great idea for a new collective noun. An embarrassment of activists.

They made right by standing on their heads.

Perhaps it was to read “OUR CLIMATE CHAMPIONS” but since the “U” is Horseshoe shaped and thereby being Upside-down, their luck drained and it vanished…..

50? I guess they have fewer brains than Al gore put together!

January 29, 2014 12:37 pm

Did Matt say how long it took them to figure out the problem?

I lived in Virginia (worked down by the White House) in the late 1970’s. We had one snow storm that was 21.5 inches in northern Virginia. It took three days to clear the roads in Arlington because there was only one snowplow. I cross country skied to the store for two days.

At least there is only about 8 or 10 of them so the disease does not seem to be prevalent. How many msm outfits had that on the front page/lead story?

They did a poll, apparently, 97% of them believed they were holding the sign correctly

With the removal of the carbon tax by our new Government that slogan was obviously carefully set up and aimed at all of us Aussie’s down here in the Southern Hemisphere

Collective noun?
How about a plonker of ecoloons?

Are you sure they’re holding a banner upside down, and not positioning a giant inflatable pipeline before inflating it? http://www.energydigital.com/oil_gas/keystone-protest.jpg
#dishonest
REPLY: Well if it was, and they inflated it in that orientation it is being held in, it would still read upside down. #stupid – Anthony

It makes sense to me: since the protesters are “reading to the choir”, they have to hold it that way.

Nancy Pelosi must’ve said, “You have to pass the climate change bill to know what’s in it.” Those guys are just holding that upside down so we don’t know what’s on it until the legislation passes.

Should have kept them on Ice in the Antarctica.
