Yeah, that’s gonna work.
Australians, angry at Prime Minister Tony Abbot’s reluctance to adopt an alarmist attitude on climate change, think the “ostrich” is the perfect metaphor to protest their country’s inaction on what they perceive to be a grave threat. From The Guardian:
More than 400 protesters stuck their heads in the sand on Australia’s Bondi Beach on Thursday, mocking the government’s reluctance to put climate change on the agenda of a G20 summit this weekend.
Prime minister Tony Abbott’s perceived failure to address climate change is all the more galling in the wake of an agreement between the United States and China on Wednesday to limit their carbon emissions, they said.
“Obama’s on board, Xi Jinping’s on board, everyone’s on board except one man,” activist Pat Norman, 28, bellowed into a megaphone on the Sydney beach.
“Tony Abbott!” the protesters shouted back.

It seems to me that this is the herd position preferred by the ruling proponents of the faithful. All such cults demand such prostrations. Easier for them to kick their followers in the butt to keep them in line.
So… can I assume that hypnotized people always do exactly as they’re told from this example?
Shoes and socks? Street clothes?
Where did they find these individuals.
By their attire, they’re not beach-goers.
They should just sit on their behinds. That’s where the thinking parts are.
WOW 400 greenie students protesting at the beach I am sure that is going to change opinions. Perhaps if they wanted a real crowd they should have combined it with a protest over student fees that would get you a good 4000+ usually. Spot the fail PR stunt.
Our son’s friend spent a year in Australia working and touring. When we asked him about the nature of his work he told us he worked for Greenpeace by going to protests and holding up signs. It was easy work he said.
I wonder how many of these folks were paid to show up on Bondi Beach.
Answer: How many were there?
I hope they keep their heads there….. cause its better than having them up their own ass.
This is one of the Ceremonies of the Green Cult.
Just an update re the G.20. After Warren Newman’s article on AGW, (He’s a scientist, and also principal adviser to the PM), you can Google it on the web, that I thoroughly agree with. He was pointing out the falsehood’s generated regarding this and being the main force behind climate change. Tony Abbott spoke about this with the G20 assembly on climate change. He didn’t agree with Obama’s stance. (Obama is competing with China of course). The police were very tolerant of protestors and avoided the strong arm stuff but spoke to them and moved them on when too near the conference and the Marriot hotel. But these jokers, I think they left in the sand. I mean to say they could not stand there long without breathing? LOL.
I don’t know of Pres.Putin’s stance of global warming, (he supplies lots of gas to European countries) he is such an old fashioned Russian who is bent on the male macho image, and was faced over the M.17 ‘accident’. Well although I realize that the M.17 strayed allegedly over a war zone, one has to remember American warships shot down a commercial airline too once. However, they did investigate it at the time thoroughly before shooting it down, and no blame was associated with their actions.
No need for Russian war ships to patrol our waters, such a display is so old Russia almost sabre rattling, eh. However, I believe the Chinese were there too, and a few Aussie boats – ships.
If Obama wishes to go on and on about global warming and cutting carbon emissions, I don’t think he had many supporters in the assembly of world leaders. So you from the USA should be pleased regarding this. David Cameron sided with our PM about this.
Synchronised chunder party.
