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.

Chad, Dirk,
Let’s not forget our politically connected Warren, the anacle of Omaha, who had the amazing foresight and courage of his convictions to spend $500M upgrading the BNSF railroad infrastructure for crude transport as if he knew that the pipeline would somehow be delayed, saw one of his trains wreck and cook off over 400,000 gallons of oil in a dangerous and toxic fire up in the Dakotas.

It really doesn’t matter, might as well say it was Warren Buffett.
You just don’t want to be holding stock when he sells.
Move oil now, and if the economy ever picks up, freight later.
He’s got it covered, stay out of railroad stocks.
…A clod of climate crusaders!
Primate champion was what it was meant to say.
thanks Zeke, that was good …
Oh come on, give these people a break. It’s tough being a climate activist. I mean you have to get up early and then meet with like minded individuals at some pre-arranged location, and then get your sign the right way up… And probably chant and stuff…

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?…..””””
Well slow down there Mate ! ……I’m from the crusty side of the pizza too; from the Shaky Isles !
As for me looking up “drongo” ; maybe, I should tell you to go jump in a billabong !
But we can’t have a south Pacific war; it would make people think we’re all just ruffians, and descendants of bread thieves.
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.
Looks like the brighter ones left early !!

50? I guess they have fewer brains than Al gore put together!
Phil That is a gross insult. That mean that 49 have none brain at all. 🙂
You people make me sick !You are obviously taking an entirely objective view. When subjectively analyzed in accordance with my model which takes in to account , Cognizance,Real time view,Area of visibility and Perception. Otherwise known as CRAP for short , we can see that these people were quite clearly able not to see the woods for the trees.
The “keystone cops” come to mind …
That reminds me of Gary Larson’s “Imbeciles of America” cartoon:

Speak for yourself George, I’m from SA, the FREE colony. No Convict spoken here, my little Artful Dodger. :-).
I kind of thought that Bill Ney was involved directly. It sort of reflects the sadly delusional, imminent dementia meme he projects these days.
Anthony watts & al
May I help you with initial and elementary chosmology here.
During the night that Al Gore got the Nobel Piece Price, by which you were taken on bed one early sunday morning in october, I was flying in a Jumbojet on a grand cycle south of Island, from Frankfurt airport over to a town that they called Baaaaaaaasten. I allways thought it was Boston, but it is Baaaaaasten.
Next to me in the Lufthansa plane,(The tight- packers) was a very comfortable US citizen lady that I could lean into an onto all the time.
She was hot favourite of Al Gore, and one cannot quarrel inside a tight packed Jumbojet at 11.5 to 12Km Altitude, at outdoor temperatures waving from -65 to incredibly – 70 celsius in very bright sunshine south of Island and all the way over.( =The tropopause, the cool side of the globe) ,
(But Mr.Watts, air pressure halves for every 5.5 Km upwards, so that plane did float on only 1/4 Air, burning Kerosene by what would be only 5% oxygen in the air.That takes quite a turbo compressor,…)
I had to be very diplomatic and say that I am able to give Gore right on 2 points.
§1, I do not like coalsmoke and
§2, I will not have our icebear and our north pole sooted black.
The lady was very satisfied with that.
This is rather my very interests and project, and Anthony watts will now understand why also. We need proper BARLEY for Beer, and we also like apples. further we like fat sprats and long fat salmons. That`s what I brought for gifts from Norway to represent us.
Further, wer nur den lieben Gott lasst walten und hoffet auf ihn allerzeit, I have found that song from 1642 by Georg Neumark and it comes on Youtube. The Mozart choir in Berlin is best on it.
Then we discussed the world, That woman and I.
She could sustain and confess that she believes that the earth is cylindric, rather like most US Citizens, and that is Mercators projection.
Whereas I, coming from rather quite exactly 60 deg North, rather live by the idea that the world is actually conical, because the shortest way to China or to Anchorage Alaska is right via the North Pole.
Ok, how can we clear up and get to an agreement on this?
We have litterature on it. Snorri Sturlason wrote Kringla Heimsins which means the round world, is a collection of books in Snorres edition on Island, and rather clearly stated in order to pleace the arch bishop of Nidaros ( made aware of earlier).
That edition or media- house does seem to have had 2 models of the earth. The pizza- model and the melone model. ( i.e neither cylindric nor conical)
The Melone- model has been known for sure and for definite in old Alexandria at the fameous University there, where the libary unluckily burnt, but details and elements have been secured. Erarostenes of Alexandria and Aristarchos of Samos and Ptolemaios also of old Alexandroia,…rather have given the frames of reference for the Nidaros school of chosmology.
But when does the earth become flat? When does the Pizza- model show up again and again and again and again?
A certain Adam Smith also delivered a chosmology, Although the Earth is round, it is flat as a penny-coin with 2 sides Pro & Contra ……., and it cycles or circulates around and around on a flat table or a market mooved by a greedy and invisible hand. This chosmic situation is then believed to “Cause” or even “Create” wealth and welfare in the nations.
Just think of that. If that is`nt dia- lectic materialism,…..
……….I thought it was the Sun along with properly enlighted manpower.
Adam Smith truly was a scot. The copper wire was invented by 2 scotsmen who found a penny on the street.
But Aristoteles rather from Makedonia has stated the Alexandrine and sphaerical idea or model of the Earth quite clearly and argued for it.
Tycho Brahe, who was court astrologist and minister of enviroment for King Christian IV of Demark and Norway probably had it from Nidaros, the SPECVLVM REGALE manuscript with its clear classical and Alexandrine roots. Tycho was Later to become Court Astrologist for Emperor Rudolf 2 in Praga, and through his successor J.Keppler also for King James 2 and his “royal society” where SIR! I Newton was first precidendt and in charge on behalf of the Royal Treasury. Against ADVLTERARE.
On ADVLTERARE, on prooven False Gloria and virtual reality, the Experts were taken to court, where SIR Isaac asked the Judge on behalf of the Royal Treasury to state proof by warrant in written law for the Experts` duties and rights.
The duty was to step up on Tower, and the right there to make a free choise between Rope and Bloc with Axe.
If the experts found themselves above such ridiculous free choises in the grades, the Judge was eventually able to state proof of their right to carry a sword.
And thus secure the Kings best sword warrior and fighter in charge and on duty for lifetime on Tower, and the next best one as food for the ravens, still on Tower.
That`s why Newton later in his life allways wore a wig. Not because he had got an apple on his head as often believed, but in order to scare the experts off from comitting ADVLTERARE, on the streets allready.
It was proper actions taken against virtual reality and virtual money. The king having to buy for Gold, thus experts able to buy for brass is unfair.
Thus my suggestion for a proper theory of this is that on ADVLTERARE, the Earth seems to become flat every time.
It seems also to follow whenever people loose contact with the heavens. Because URANOS all around us, the Big Bang phaenomena (= the dark night all around us) is obviously sphaerical or global.
Macrochosmos in microchosmos and microchosmos in macrochosmos is old Alexandrine and Egyptian wisdom also repeaded litterally by Tycho de Brahe.
SIR Isaac followed up the same idea with great success.
Just look at it. Where there is a lot of ADVLTERARE like in Washington DC in theese days, people step up and discuss a pizza or a flat penny with 2 sides pro & contra, and deny both Macro and Microchosmos and fight Uranos (=The starry heavens) and Gaia(=The Earth)

They made right by standing on their heads.
**************
Of course! I should have known. It should be patently obvious to anyone that they will be standing on their heads while holding the inflated pipeline that way during the protest. Then it will read correctly.
Anthony, you and your WUWT readers should be undermining the intelligence of these wonderfully enlightened protesters. They know exactly what they’re doing! /sarc off
Like the woman I read about in the UK who had herself sterilized to save the Planet (Earth presumably), These protestors are young with the best intentions. They believe they’re correct.
The problem, of course. is those who would teach these kids the eco-Socialist, “eat the rich”,
“fossil fuels are evil” propaganda. These people are neither innocent nor pure of heart.
They are power seeking radicals yearning to control their fellow man. The Global Warming lie is their current avenue to power. These people/entities are dangerous and evil
The people participating in this protest are their first wave of VICTIMS.
They’re “Useful Idiots”
Flying monkies for the Commies
Keystone XL protest? Keystone XXS protest.is more appropriate…ahem.
I’ll get my coat.

Well, most of the rest of us don’t consider the panhandle as part of Florida. It’s more like Alabama.

Yes we’ve noticed that; every election night, when the LSM have declared Florida’s Election result, while the polls are still open in the Panhandle. It’s their standard trick for rigging elections.
Here in California, we never get the opportunity to cast a vote for the Presidency; the election is declared before Californians (and Hawaiians) have voted.
Election Day should be changed. Polls open for 24 hours GMT 0000 to 2400.
Everybody gets to vote in the exact same 24 hour GMT period.
>>>…NO POLLING RESULTS….<<< until ALL polls in every state are closed.
I would also eliminate early and absentee ballots. Show up at a voting booth during the open 24 hours, or else. Only exception would be for full time Federal employees (including military personnel, ) who are out of the country on OFFICIAL Federal business. But they too would have to vote on election day.
At present, we have the absurdity, of people casting early ballots for Presidential "candidates" who aren't even on the ballot on election day, and have dropped out.
But I digress. Anyway; do it however you want; you get the government you deserve.
