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…
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.

They are obviously recently arrived from the southern hemisphere and with no sign of the sun in the sky they haven’t been able to adjust their bearings! Brilliant!!
According to Wiki (sorry) the collective name for clowns is either an Alley or a Pratfall. Therefore as they clearly aren’t in an Alley they must be Prats.

Now you are catching on. And Yes Warren Buffet is a big Obama fan.
Watch it, georgey smith : “Obviously Australians ! Don’t even know which side of the pizza they are on !”. You’re a drongo (look it up).
We’re getting rid of the Carbon Tax introduced by Left Labor. What are you doing?
Obama’s opposition to the Keystone pipeline is proof that he does not care one bit about the middle class. Thousands of construction jobs will be lost as will many permanent jobs in refining and transportation. US energy prices will be higher.
Gee, was Bill “Crazy Eyes” McKibben in attendance?
Ok, from the pictures of the finished sign it looks like it was reasonably grammatically correct. Now we can marvel at how inane the message is….
one good laugh deserves another:
30 Jan: Bloomberg: Tom Randall: Enlightened Power: New Eco Warriors are Really Well Armed
Windmill-hugging Europeans announced a plan last week to get 27 percent of their energy from renewables by 2030. If they don’t watch out, they may soon be upstaged by an unlikely eco warrior: the U.S. military.
U.S. armed forces have a target that’s similar to Europe’s — 25 percent renewables — but is on track to meet it five years sooner. Europe’s plan took a lot of heat last week for being unenforceable. By contrast, U.S. military goals aren’t just aspirational; they’re law…
The push for renewables cuts costs, reduces dependence on vulnerable supply lines and helps ensure 24/7 access to electricity. And it’s happening at little or no cost to taxpayers…
As extreme weather from climate change increases, so do power outages. In 2012, there were 87 outages lasting eight hours or longer at domestic military bases, according to a new report by Pew Charitable Trusts…
The greening of the military wasn’t an Obama project snuck into the piles of stimulus funds during the financial crisis. The toughest renewables targets were passed under George W. Bush, most notably with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2006…

The climate change globaloney battle is reminiscent of the old cold war struggle in so many ways. How hard and long did we have to fight and viola! it all fell to pieces so quickly. Once it was over you couldn’t find a true believer from the other side and most of the fellow-traveling useful idiots as we called them denied their own actions. Current US Secretary of State John Kerry was one of those forever on the wrong side of history during that fight and amazingly he’s a prime mover in this one. The pic made me think of this because so many protesters in The West shuffled out repeatedly just like this to push us into accommodation with totalitarianism. Now they insist we bend the knee before a lie to accomplish their most recent goals.
They should read a little world history. There will always be just enough of us refusniks around to foil them.

Don’t know, it does seem that the aspersions cast, were misdirected.
Care to try again ?
Or is the Mojo a bit off recently.
Bill Stickler – I am so stealing that! 😀
The global warming exaggerater in me says that from a few activist acorns, a giant popular anti- pipeline CAGW movement may grow.
The sceptic inside me tells me that most acorns end up as squirrel sh*t
Well they had the Hockey Stick upside down (any CO2 warming is logarithmic so DOES actually look a bit like a hockey stick…)
“Useful idiots” being useful…
Well maybe if when building the pipeline we promised to:
-bury a swimming pool of cement every eighty feet
-broadcast infrasound along the entire length
-shoot birds and bats who fly over it
-build twice as many roads to inaccessible places as the pipeline needs
-promise to wildly inflate the cost of the pipeline through regs and add it to gas price
-raise it above the treeline considerably in beautiful countryside and paint it white
-call it a wind turbine project
then they would love it. You just have to sweeten up the deal.
Or how about this EPA mandated replacement for coal:

Was he ever rooted in ? :
Chicago
By Carl Sandburg
Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation’s Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:
They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys.
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.
And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.
Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities;
Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,
Planning,
Building, breaking, rebuilding,
Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people,
Laughing!
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

And talking of Australia, the ABC is going to give airtime to David Susuki tomorrow. They even show the clip of him talking about humans and maggots, no sound of course. Tony Abbott, the incumbent PM, has suggested the ABC is “unAustralian” and “biased”.
An idiocracy of eco-activists….
