Their true colors shine brightly:
This Earth Day, April 22, Earth Day Network and the March for Science are co-organizing a rally and teach-in on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The day’s program will include speeches and trainings with scientists and civic organizers, musical performances, and a march through the streets of Washington, D.C. The crowd will gather at 8:00am, and the teach-in will begin at 09:00am.
Here’s a photo of AP’s science writer Seth Borenstein doing an interview with, er, Barney. I think. Pretty well sums up Seth’s outlook.
Godwin’s law was proven early, and this sign, pretty well sums up the insanity:
I seem to recall leftists went berserk when the Heartland institute put up a billboard with a similar meme, using the unabomber. But, apparently its OK when they do it.
Ummm….WTF?
More wackyiness:
Wow, just wow.
Seems that the Union of Concerned Scientists has a lot of hate. This is from their Twitter feed, but note they are too timid to put their organization name on any of the posters.
Losers.
Riiiight…you did it for science.
And here’s more….
I’m pretty sure that’s not 500 women:
Note the circle – looks like some of the communist worker signs of the 50’s
Umm, no.
So do environmental taxes.
Fantasy science heros:
Publicity seeking science activist Michael Mann team with Bill Nye the idiot guy:
The pussy hat is a nice touch:
This post will be updated throughout the day.

So far it looks like Woodstock, I’m sure there will be plenty of entertainingly silly memes and moments. Readers are invited to share what they find elsewhere.

Old and Busted: Scientific Socialism
The New Hotness: Socialistic Sciencism
Move the date to 1st April.
This is an odd debate where both sides hurl the identical accusation at eachother – “you are the deniers of science!”
Warmists accuse AGW-skeptics of refusing to fall into line with the authoritarian argument that earth’s climate changed for the first time in the earth’s history due to human’s sinful CO2.
Skeptics accuse warmists of refusing to think for themselves and denying the realities of climate especially the fact that it is always changing.
The MSM such as the BBC are idiotically partisan in the “debate” talking openly of Trump as a climate “den1er”. In reality Trump is the first president to take a genuine scientific approach to climate.
The left hate mob has serious problems with use of language. They seem to think that the word “science” means “belonging to our tribe”.
Ummmm, I think you read that wrong ??
“At the start of every disaster movie, there’s a scientist being ignored” –
Yeah, well what did they do for the last 8 years?
Kissed Obama’s ass ??
They ignored the thousands of scientists with a skeptical viewpoint – and what we have is a global economic disaster caused by alarmists pushing green energy, kids suffering from climate paranoia, and an environmental and health nightmare caused by said green energy. What’s it going to take to remove all those wind turbines in 15-20 years?
Increase the budget for real science from some of the planned budget savings and RIFs.
I say it was nothing more than a classic case for that classic game of ‘spot the (real) scientist’. I estimate conservatively, that at best, maybe 1:1000 of those crowds might have been. The rest just typical ignorant, foul-mouthed lefties there for something (even if they didn’t know what it was) to get upset about and makes lots of noise and even violent threats over…
The funniest thing about these photo’s is simply LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE WEARING! Here it is the 2nd half of April-it’s about 8*C outside and they are all wearing multiple layers of jackets & sweaters. Are they so stupid that they don’t realize the basic contradiction here. YOU CAN’T SAY there is this rapid, out-of-control global warming when it’s cold in April! Are they so stupid that they really think the climate was this cold during the era of the Vikings when they were settling NewFoundland Canada which is currentle below 0 in April? BTW last year it ALSO continued to be cold in April along the entire NE USA and it was even still cold in May, as of May 15 last year it had snowed all over the NE and even as far south as Tennessee!
I decided against going to the Miami March for “Science” as it was threatening rain and I didn’t want my attendance to be mistaken as support. I did watch the C-Span coverage of the Washington rally. It was mostly harmless, feel-good, Kumbaya-type talk about supporting science. Most of the speakers had little iunderstanding about what science is really about or how scientists work. However, one female scientist (a biologist I believe) gave a laundry list of what scientists are: skeptical, questioning, willing to acknowledge uncertainty, etc. All the things climate realists hold to and CAGW promoters don’t. Irony was lost on this crowd.
As a counterpoint, after coverage of the March C-Span ran a Heritage Institute panel held the night before discussing the anti-science stances taken by the political forces behind the March and other such efforts. The contrast between the mushy emotionalism of the March and the true scholarship of the panel discussion was stark and refreshing.
Speaking of climate realists, CBS News on Saturday evening actually ran a piece featuring Joe Bast of the Heartland Institute in which he was allowed to make the case for skepticism in climate science. Although they put the term realist in scare quotes and made a point of the fact that Bast isn’t a scientist (Then why not interview Dr. Pielke, Spencer, or Curry?) he was still give air time to make the case against alarmism.
