Hilarious! Sierra Club & 350.org ditch polar bears as climate mascot, try 'cat videos' for climate change instead

climate_march_catsIn the past we’ve seen polar bears dropped from the sky and animals committing suicide rather than face climate change.

Those didn’t go over very well. So, the Sierra Club and the McKibbenites muse to themselves; what to do? Why “kittens” of course.  We”ll borrow from the old National Lampoon Magazine cover and say “do this or the kitten gets it!”. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Now it’s “March or the Kitten Gets It!” as a way to promote the “March for Climate” in New York City on September 21st. I can just see weepy Bill McKibben breaking down again like some crazy cat lady for dramatic effect. If that had been an actual wind turbine at the end, that cat would be history…just like so many birds. Watch the video:

The video, posted three days ago according to comments on YouTube, so far has about 228 views as of this writing. I’d say they’ll likely get more views from WUWT readers than they ever will from people who might be convinced to march the streets due to some cat video.

So what if cats have one less life. Getting behind the 8 may save the other seven.

What a pathetic kitten video.
Here are some AUTHENTIC kittens.
First of, Green Econazi kittens.

I wonder if they might be a bit unhappy with my ongoing conversation?

97% of cats believe in global warming. They want to strip off in the Bahamas.

McKibbenites need Confuse-a-Cat. They’ll build a stage like this.

A million views is the absolute minimum for a half decent kitten video.

Notice that the “People’s Climate March” sounds a lot like “The People’s [Communist] Republic”.

Likely to confuse the greenies here in Australia where feral cats are considered a significant threat to native mammals and birds. They hate cats. I once saw a graph presented at a national meeting showing the effects of culling introduced predators on a cute little native marsupial and the histogram bars were formed from stacks of dead cats. The audience applauded.

Every time a wind turbine goes on line a kitten dies. And untold raptors, too.

They will have to develop vegan cats first, presumably by genetic engineering.

Pathetic, truly pathetic.

Join me in celebrating Skeptic Weekend, but begin on Friday, Sept. 19th – the march is on Sunday. Anyone that grills anything, drinks any carbonated beverage, burps, or passes gas, or uses electricity on Fri/Sat/Sun can be a part. Usually there are harvest celebrations but the Harvest Moon is on the 9th and the Equinox is the week after the march.
We should know by then what the Arctic sea ice came to. Maybe that calls for a celebration.

We were warned some time ago that global warming would seriously impact our pets.
Someone pointed out that the people who issue such warnings had obviously never had a cat!
Mine knows exactly which part of the conservatory gets the most sun in the mornings and she also knows where the central heating pipes run under the floorboards. She makes a bee-line for any hotspot.

Why do they never use a large arachnid as a poster-species?

My dog likes the idea of a medium-rare cat for dinner.

So 350.org blows up our kids if we don’t agree with them on CO2 and Sierra Club threatens our kittens if we don’t agree with them on CO2.

The appeal to emotion (argumentum ad passiones) is a logical fallacy used when you aren’t winning minds win with facts, you appeal to the heart.
See also the weepy letters and scaredsientists.com.
People who can think rationally will recognise this for what it is. I wonder if there are enough of us to bring the edifice down.

350.org didn’t blow up kids, that was Franny Andersons 10-10.org . Franny later retreated into the woods to give birth to a human child, ironically.

You have to forgive the poor commies, lies and threats are the only two tools they have.

Cuckoo’s would be the perfect mascot. They are opportunists, reproduce using the all the facilities of someone elses efforts. Killing the next generation of their hosts, to support their next generation.

As the servant to 10 cats (dogs have masters, cats have servants), I can state with authority that cats have a present for McKibben and his ilk. Personalized tootsie rolls. My oldest even made one in the shape of Mann.

I guess helpless little kittens are more endearing than polar bears.

Is that a parody? It’s just hilarious.
