Ah, the stupid, it burns like a magnesium flare.
Here’s a collection of some of the most zany, crazy and interesting signs, tweets, and photos from the “People’s Climate March” going on today. To understand what you are about to see, view their game plan first:
This post will be updated through the day.
Ok here we go…who says a college education isn’t worth anything today?
BTW this photo below looks to be in Dallas, on the “grassy knoll” in Dealy plaza…maybe they don’t realize the symbolism of standing there with this sign, maybe they do, and that’s their point. Either way – bizarre.
Umm….WTF?
Polar bears and swamp things…RESIST!
I’m guessing bust…
Maura Healy, attorney general for Massachusetts part of #exxonknew
Sheldon Whitehouse – Mr. #exxonknew
Hmm, I see a visit from the secret service in her future.
I’m guessing this burned some eyballs…
UPDATE: 4/30/17:
When I want advice about how to reduce carbon emissions, I prefer to listen to someone like Richard Branson, who RUNS A FLEET OF AIRPLANES.
Seems they left a lot of trash while “saving the planet”…
…and this is where they went:

Classic photo. Black shirts, even! What Anthony said.
Speaking of black shirts, the lady in the second picture from the top, is wearing a black T-shirt, upon which, in somewhat “fine print”, the term “cpusa.org” appears. And, in the background of the photo, there are others with the same sort of T-shirt. Hmmm…wonder what that is all about?
But best of all is the picture of Senator Whitehouse (a.k.a. Senator “Skin Job”) in all his over-earnest, goof-ball, passive-agressive-milquetoast, professional-smile glory. Always get a “kick” out of Sheldon. And is it just moi, or does anyone else find that the Senator’s name–Sheldon Whitehouse–has a mirth-provoking, privileged-white-dork, total-wanker quality to it? Just askin’…
Mike, to answer your question YES. And it’s not just you.
mike: cpusa website has this ‘Everyone is affected by the export of capital’ which I think is one of the points that DJT is making too. Rosa Luxemburg’s one contribution to economic theory apparently. Interesting discussion last night over a bottle of wine about the song ‘Rosa’s Lovely Daughters’ being rehearsed by a local choir and why communism is still wierdly cool when fascism is rightly deprecated.
Mike: Not surprising that the lady in cpsu-black is holding a “1199SEIU” sign.
Senator Whitehouse his state was hit back to back by hurricanes category 3 Hazel And Edna within 12 days of each other in 1954 and he says severe weather is worst now
The question that the marchers should be asked is what method of transportation did they use to get to their site. 16″ of snow here in Monument Colorado and it is expected to snow for 8 more hours. Gorebull warming is upon us!
We rode in packed busses and trains to outside of DC. Then took subway into Mall. I hate the fact that we had to generate more CO2 to get there.
Alan,
You didn’t didn’t have to use transportation that creates C02 to get to your march. There are electric buses … there are other modes (bike, walk); they are very inefficient and may have been very uncomfortable for you, but it was your choice.
You choose what your want to do … I won’t chastise you about it.
Please show others the same courtesy.
Hang on a mo! I wear sandals as I can’t bear closed in shoes for long!
Join the movement. I have been barefoot for 30 years. The original Australian inhabitants wore no shoes.
I have sandals for when there is no other option.
Since I am not an Australian aboriginal I intend to wear shoes. Your mileage might vary but I suspect you also are not an Australian aboriginal.
You’re not conforming to the ecoloon stereotype by marching against something or other though.
An assemblage of The Usual Suspects; brainwashed children, hornswoggled millenials, just plain fruits, nuts and freaks, and a majority of 60’s-vintage “radicals” way past their sell-by date. (yawn) Proving that exposure to the NYT and NPR makes you really, REALLY stupid. But it’s really just virtue-signalling to the others of their “tribe.”
Don’t diss the open-toed sandals. They are very comfortable. And quite appropriate for the 90-degreee weather in D.C. today. (Not so much for the snow in Colorado, though)
Does that mean the weather meant that the number of demonstrators was lower because all the snowflakes melted?
Man buns, back packs, suggestion of assassination, another day, another protest.
Hey! I wear Columbia sport sandals, whitewater and surf rated, from last frost to first frost. Only wear boots when work requires. Hate tennis shoes and wearing loggers or jungle boots all the time is a drag.
As a friend of mine used to call them: ‘granola munching sandal jockeys’. Seems to fit.
That aside, it’s really quite terrifying that anyone sides with 350 or UCS – as respectfully as I can, I’m not convinced there are too many mentally stable individuals associated with those groups. They well and truly are beyond reason.
I think the signs say it all. Oh, my!
Just about every one of them with expensive four-color printing, too – lots of Soros cash going into this astroturf.
with oil-based inks, too.
“It’s not the heat it’s the stupidity!”
Yep. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
That is the BEST sign!
Gotta love the picture of that “cute couple” and polar bear menage a trois, especially the 1/3 on the left with the earthy, moderator-magnet “F”-bomb emblazoned on his/her “Hooters”-normative breasts–and a sign at his/her side that invites: “Old Dudes Please Die…” Curious that a little protest march that draws so many ol’ fart whiteboys (including everybody’s favorite, geriatric, mucus-membrane e.b.e–Senator Whitehouse (a.k.a. Senator “Skin Job”)) to its ranks (just look through the pictures of the event, above, dear reader), should be issuing such an invitation.
And, then, in the next to last picture we get a Woodstock, knock-off “flower-child” holding a sign with a big-time, leg-humpin’, dog-whistle allusion: “Beware the Guillotine”
My oh my, the lefties and their ever-green, greenwashed, cull-crazy, dystopian dreams of…of…well…you know what I mean (Google: “lena dunham white men extinction” and “youtube larry grathwohl william ayers 60 minutes” and the wiki entry for hive-hero “Vasily Blokhin” for more on the subject).
Eisenhower warned us.
I think few of these will be scientists. Most far left / ‘deep greens’. AKA watermelons. With the same Stalinist mentality we’ve seen so often from the left.

Quite few pro-nuclear power / climate alarmist people I know were erased from the Climate March facebook page because these climate march oppose non-CO2 emitting nuclear power. These marchers support energy chaos.
I don’t think he warned me. He died before I was born.
Hugs
That’s why reading is a valuable skill…
Because he lived , you were born , and I survived death camps
A parade of profoundly ignorant people are dangerous to society.
That is what worries and motivates me sunsettommy…..
At which point in time, can we relax and not worry about their relentless, blinkered and potentially dangerous pressure upon those that still pander to them – the policy makers etc???
Trump was nowhere near the freak show; he was on the way to New Holland, PA for a sold-out rally and one of the best speeches he’s given yet! He’s the burning stove on which these snowflakes are melting. MAGA!
I love the 350 or bust sign. I assume he means 350 ppm of CO2. Since we’ve already reached 400 ppm and absolutely freakin nothing has happened I guess he’ll change his sign for the next totally pointless envirostalinist march. What a putz!
“Since we’ve already reached 400 ppm and absolutely freakin nothing has happened …”
And we could go to 1200 ppm and absolutely freakin nothing would happen. Personally, I would like to see CO2 much higher than at present for many reasons.
I don’t think you see 600.
sarcasm Because Obama healed the sea levels and made an agreement with the Chinese. /sarcasm.
I had to put in a carbon monoxide detector in my home when I got a new HVAC unit. California regulation. A dunce of a neighbor saw it and asked what it was and when I told him he said, “Oh, so you’ll know when it shows global warming.” Honest to God, a true story. I’ve found the most rabid AGW/envirostalinist types are basically scientific imbeciles. They are impressed by those famous 97% scientists though.
carbon dioxide one carbon with a double covalent bond to two oxygens, its size is 2 angstroms or 2 times 10 -7 mm 4 molecules of co2 for every 10,000 molecules of atmosphere hardly a pollutant if it was why EPA ever institute an ambient air quality standard like for carbon monoxide, pm 2.5 particulates, ozone
He appears to have a GDA hat on. G*D D*amn America.
I don’t like to think Pol Pot had the right idea about universities.
Those polar bear suits look mighty ratty. 😉
I’m rather surprised that no one thought to wear a polar bear vagina suit…
Don’t give them ideas!
Of course,as always, it’s all about privileged-white-bears with these Nature-Boy, Gaia-freak, socially-retarded hive-bozos, who, from a bear’s perspective are, ironically, just so many free-range Vegan-snacks. So what do you good-comrades say about makin’ a few BLACK!!! Bears and BROWN!!! bears a part of your little, phoney-baloney, eco-flake, agit-prop show? You know, like, DIVERSITY!!!, and everything!
From looking at these photos, I have to say that (with a few notable exceptions) this looks like a very melanin-deficient group. I guess people of color have more important things to worry about than a gaggle of old white folks pretending they can control the weather.
Believe me, only the “Patagonia People” (aka yuppies) have the time and money to spend their weekend driving (yep, GASOLINE!) hundreds of miles to make asses of themselves in the street in the name of their secular “religion.” Otherwise known as preening their virtuous plumage for their fellow freaks. IGNORING them will make them go away. That, and SNOW.
“Those polar bear suits look mighty ratty”
Not enough seal in the diet.! 🙂
Probably made from petroleum-based plastic, I bet! 🙂
Proving yet again that what Former UNFCCC head Christina Figueres said about climate change was true. Nothing to with AGW. Two communist parties, ecosocialists, nutters, polar bear suits (who haven’t read Dr. Susan Crawford’s new book)…
ristvan
Oh crap. Now Griff knows Dr Crockford has written another polar bear book. Watch your back, Susan!
(But keep on writing the books…).
If you’re afraid to go outside to take a pee after dark because of the polar bears, you’ve got a problem starting in about November.
Am I the only one on the planet who thinks we may have too many of the darn things?
The smell of human urine has a moderate repellant effect on black and brown bears. Don’t know if the same holds true for polars, tho’.
They all look well fed on this climate change, even some busting out dare i say it thanks to the bumper crops the US is getting-
No Planet B man looks like he is getting is fare share of planet A.
his fare share
Cripes – Global warming is causing world wide obesity-

His belly is fair a well.
Once you detach from the mother ship of real science (or reality), all things are possible.
He ate planet B.
If he gets any larger he will be Planet B.
Tom in Florida: “He ate planet B.”
I’ve been scoping out a landing space on him somewhere around his liver. Looks safe to land there; not too close to the arm pit.
Oh, the GRAVITY!!!!
I do like the truck …
Someone is fighting back.
The sign says CFACT IN SMALL letters.

Is a review of the last climate march, near San Francisco, a study of leftist signs, quite funny as well.
friendly warning to the uninitiated: that zombietime page is innocuous, but clicking on to the main zombietime page is *not* for the faint of heart, or for anyone located where NSFW viewing might cause trouble. it *is*, however, informative for finding out just how FUBAR the Bay Area is.
How come there are no actual workers in the Socialist Workers’ Party?
Actual workers are not stupid enough. You need a university arts background to reach this level.
They’re too busy working. For their paychecks.
I’d wager the only checks most of those marchers have seen are cut by the state.

Republican presidents can do no right; Democrat presidents can do no wrong. ;|
That’s not fare! The video was all about facts and knowledge and stuff. Young leftists don’t want to deal with that! They have feelings, and that is all that matters. They feel deeply about the horrible things that Trump is doing. They don’t need to know what those things are!
It’s not fare? You mean they had to pay to get there?
The last march I agree with was from Selma to Montgomery.
Go view what has become of 80% black Selma and 75% black Montgomery and get back to me about that “march” being such a success.
What a patch of watermelons. They don’t even pretend to be ecoloons any more. Just plain old garden variety commie loons.
Environmentalism wasn’t invented back in the USSR.

Sustainable Development: Promoting Progress or Perpetuating Poverty?

Chapter 6
The Soviet Experiment: Lessons for Development
Charles N. Steele
“All productive property was officially owned by the state, and in principle all decisions concerning its use were made by the planners. In practice, it was impossible for the central planners closely to monitor the use of raw resources and other inputs. Thus many resources were “open access,” waiting to be grabbed by anyone on the spot. This sometimes resulted in destructive competitions for resources, or in diversion of assets to private uses.
Examples include the hauling away of Black Sea resort beachfront sand for construction purposes, and the mass diversion of water from the Aral Sea for cotton irrigation, resulting in destruction of the one of the Soviet Union’s largest fishing industries.”
The USSR was the home of Lysenkoism.
i can’t wait for the “after” photos of all the trash these loons are going to leave behind…

One honest marcher – or one with his tongue FIRMLY in his cheek.
I knew he reminded me of someone https://youtu.be/QaIplf3E9XM
Replace the word violence with the word chicks, and that would have described at least half the guys there.
You ask most of them what the largest gaseous component of the atmosphere is, and 80% of the time they answer, “Oxygen”.
Geniuses, all geniuses.
at these events, it’s “hot air”… 😎
Try asking which there is more of in the atmosphere : argon or carbon dioxide .
Terrific. Going to appropriate that one a a watermelon head exploder.
There are some real scientists that don’t know either. I have a chemist friend and he was going on about packing the atmosphere full of co2. I asked him how much it was. He didn’t know. The look on his face was priceless when, at the time, it was around 4/10ths of 1 %. His views have done a 180 on climate change.
Think you missed a couple of decimal points in there.
Still extremely small.
Only one decimal point, actually……4/100ths of 1%! : ]
Ask them what percent of the atmosphere is CO2. Most that I have asked say say 20%.
Another fun question to ask is “how would you feel if we lowered the Oxygen level to 21%” and see how they react. 21% would actually be raising it ever so slightly. Most people don’t have a clue.
And don’t even try explaining that oxygen is toxic at high concentrations and needs to be diluted with a neutral gas to be breathed safely. It’ll glaze over every eye in the room.
And to think I learned that one day in junior high science class, if not earlier. I guess school science texts have long since been replaced with gender-inclusive coloring books.
I like to go to events like this in my 32 foot Winnebago, depending on where I need to drive I’ll tow the 25 Regal Cuddy, (just for looks). Then I setup the big gas Weber, grill a few sausages, some burgers, pull out the cooler with a nice variety of lagers and ales, then pull out the 27 inch LED and tune in a baseball game. When the vegans start making derisive comments I pull out the tenderloins and toss them on the grill …. ah good times, good times
Just think of all the CO2 released by that selection of lagers and ales. Thanks for the plant food!
It looks like the Women’s March, with different costumes on the same people.
…all loons look alike
Bingo! You win the Internets for today!
An entire industry has emerged to supply polar bear suits at climate marches.
Did you notice the young lady with the bear behind?
Bill Nye The Science Guy; Catastrophic Ice-Age Averted, Man-Made CO2 Saved Mankind
Contrary to conventional wisdom/consensus, man-made/anthropogenic CO2 was driving the earth towards catastrophic warming. According to Bill Nye the Science Guy, the truth, however, is just the opposite.
https://co2islife.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/bill-nye-the-science-guy-catastrophic-ice-age-averted-man-made-co2-saved-mankind/
Don’t most of these leftists have a look about them that could be described as “doofy?”
Scrofluous.
Yes, some of them, but more than that.
Yeah, also they look like undernourished vegans, overstuffed planet-eaters (Mr Planet B), vacant dope smokers, nut-job weirdoes (guillotine girl) and those apologetic for their very existence even though they don’t quite understand why. In other words, yeah, a collection of “doofs”.
What percentage look EMPLOYABLE to you? Ayup . . .
So many sh*t-eating grins in one place, you can almost smell it.
A number of climate marches in Colorado were postponed due to the cold and snow.
http://westernwire.net/winter-blast-putting-climate-protests-on-ice-in-colorado/
…likely to be classified as “extreme weather” and be blamed on “climate change.”
If my calculations are correct, any cancellation due to weather will be a sign of “The Gore Effect”
You refuse to accept a fascist America? Easy. Never look in a mirror.
You need to look up the word ‘fascist, fascism’. Where is the authoritarian tyrannical system of government
in the USA? the fecal matter you digest as news is spewing out your ears.
My comment was on a sign #6. Your comment is probably on its authors.
There used to be a time when liberal (progressive) meant tolerant of your views but intolerant of your actions. When did it become OK to judge people on their beliefs and not judge them on their actions?
175,000 pages of Federal regulations. Strong, autocratic central government is what we have. There’s your fascism, dumbass.
That protests like this can take place on an almost regular basis and not be shot at with real bullets and/or run over by tanks, gives the lie to the notion that America has somehow turned autocratic or “fascist”. Tienanmen Squares, we do not have.
ferdberple asked,
It t’was about the same time that they changed that ole saying to read ……
“Calling you names will cause serious emotional harm, ….. but sticks n’ stones will never break your bones”
There seems to be a subset of the left that disavows fascism but adopts fascist tactics. In Colorado, there is a movement to incite violence against the oil and gas industry, e.g. calling for snipers to take out oil field workers because “fracking is murder.”
http://westernwire.net/anti-fracking-activist-who-wouldnt-have-a-problem-with-murdering-oil-and-gas-workers-now-fears-for-his-own-safety/
Whoa, cognitive dissonance overload there. “Fracking is murder” but sniping oil field workers is ……… what, eh?
In their views, it would be self defense.
I once debated a young environmentalists who proclaimed that most people would assault even kill someone they caught raping their mother.
In his view, developers were raping mother earth, and likewise deserved death.
….fed so much guilt..they can’t even appreciate what they’ve got
‘Guardians of the Future’. Didn’t they just make a sequel to that?
Guardians of the Galaxy, in theaters May 5th.
Already paid for my tickets. ^¿^
