“This is not hyperbole!”
Saying she's been inspired by Greta Thunberg, Jane Fonda tells @ABC she's going to hold a weekly protest in DC on climate change: "I'm moving here. I'm going to be here through Thanksgiving, and Christmas, sleep, rain, whatever it is."
"This is a crisis." https://t.co/57QJ2Xbx51 pic.twitter.com/k1Z2IC5aYu

I think I’m going to just start posting “Stupid is as stupid does” to just about every article on WUWT since that one line applies to this one and many of the others.
Her “protest” will mean just one trip to the salad bar instead of two, and just one glass of Chardonnay instead of two or three. Hey, it’s just one day, but it’s the thought that counts.
This comment may not make it past the Mods, but I will post it and let them decide.
In July 1972, a few months before I arrived at DaNang in South Vietnam, Hanoi Jane Fonda was giggling and having her photo taken in a North Vietnamese AAA gun seat.
In November 1972, our second child was born. In December 1972, a few days before I arrived at DaNang, the North Vietnamese shot down an A-7D pilot from DaNang (do a search on Tony Shine). In February 1973, our squadron lost an aircraft with 8 of my friends. Do a search on “Baron 52.” They and the rest of us are the pilots Hanoi Jane Fonda wanted her Communist comrades to kill.
There was a story covered by CBS in the 1990s about his daughter going over and finding some of the remains of his ship and getting his helmet back from a Vietnamese who had taken it from the site shortly after the shoot-down.

Lt. Col. Anthony Shine was flying on the border of North Vietnam and Laos on December 2, 1972 when his plane descended a cloud covering for reconnaissance and he was listed as missing in action.
His daughter, Colleen Shine, was 8 years old at the time. Later in life, she wanted to find out what exactly happened to her her dad, who is now listed among the more than 58,000 other names of those killed in Vietnam on the memorial wall.
Over the years, the military repeatedly told Shine that any further searching was useless.
Shine said, “Finally in 1995, they told me (they found his) crash site. They believed there was nothing more we can learn…he was killed in action. Any parts of the aircraft would have been scavenged by villagers for scrap metal and any remains would have been washed away in floods and the erosion. And so I went to Vietnam…to have peace with knowing, in war, there will be casualties where you never have an answer, and I thought that would be the case.”
But instead, she found answers and proof of where her father died.

Hey, Jane, we still remember. We will never forget.
This comment may not make it past the Mods . . .
I’m glad it did so I could thank one more veteran for his (I assume) service.
Many thanks.
You are very welcome. It was an honor to be considered worthy to wear the uniform of the United States military and to serve my fellow Americans. I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Military veterans are an amalgamation of unique individuals, melded together in the crucible of wars past and present and bonded by duty, honor, sacrifice, blood, love of family and love of country. The trait we most cherish above all others is candor…lives depend on it on the battlefield.
More so than through any other community, the bonds, associations and friendships formed through the military and law enforcement and firefighters and other emergency responders are lifelong, and we mourn the loss of our comrades until we rejoin them again someday in formation in Heaven.
Whoa. That sounds an awful lot like a documentary I watched a few months ago.
A local had removed the body to a safer burial site, and he showed the daughter to where it was, and gave her the helmet. Is this the same event?
CBS did carry the story and probably made it a documentary. You might check the link I posted and see if it is the same story. We all love happy endings; there are far too many remaining with no closure for the families.
Oh for gods sake, save us from morons who think with their genitals.
If you didn’t previously understand that climastrology (a/k/a “climate $cience”) had been hijacked for political purposes, this should serve as proof.
That one is as goofy as they come.
Hanoi Jane strikes again. Once a commie, always a commie.
J. Fonda IS the World’s leading alarmist climate scientist.
Even greater than Mann and Dicaprio.
DiCaprio sure, but Mann I don’t know. After all, I ask you (with tongue firm planted in cheek), did climate scientist J. Fonda win as many noble prizes as Mann?
Shut down the electric grid in response…..to Jane.
So this is method acting.
Greta has shaken the nut tree for sure.
Ask them what they want. The American people need to get the straight answer.
Maybe she should consider returning to her home state to straighten out the small problem they have with the power company. Those blackouts are a preview of what one can expect if her dream comes to fruition.
I guess you forgot the traitor played in the movie ‘The China Syndrome’.
Along with Lemon, I was about to say the same thing. Jointly destroying the future of nuclear energy in the US and influencing energy policy in other countries too.
Did you know in the USA 500 children a year are killed by a parent, nearly half of which are psychologically unstable mothers?
I thought there was a law that a credible death threat has to be reported to the police. Instead, this “clinic” recruits these unstable people as climate activists.
What could go wrong.
So the question for Jane is “are you smarter than a fifth grader?” She’s demonstrated that the answer is no.
I was a movie star 30 years ago so everyone should listen to what I say….
50 years ago anyway….
Looking at her IMDB listing, I’d say her career peaked in the late 70/early 80s (with roles in China Syndrome, 9 to 5, and On Golden Pond) so more like 40 years
(that said still doing work – though it looks more like recurring roles on TV than movies – to this day, but nothing that evokes the phrase “movie star” IMO).
Jane Fonda is Greta’s primary target of derision: Jane has done diddly-squat for decades!
… a bored former star needing something to do but not taking the time to educate her affluently cushioned mind with basic facts.
Of course, actors need only memorize their lines and deliver them convincingly. Somebody else writes those lines and produces the show.
Jane, alas, is another cog in the big green machine.
I watched the scene of Jane Fonda being arrested in Washington DC. It looked like there were about a half a dozen people with her.
Will she draw a bigger crowd next Friday? Will Jane Fonda continue the protest if noone shows up?
Jane Fonda is a lot like AOC. Both are exceptionally clueless about real life and how things work.
Let’s hook her up with Hanson. Hanson loves nuc power and Jane is terrified of it. Maybe the two. Kooks will kill each other.
So, Jane will not go into her long nite into eternity without (at least) one more attempt to enslave the people of the world.. by being governed (enslaved) by their “betters” in the “Ruling Class” Globalist Socialists.
I hope she finds her long nite soon enough to avert even more deaths and involuntary servitude (i.e.slavery) of the masses by their “Betters”.
The timing of Three Mile Island and Fonda’s movie “the China Syndrome” made nuclear a nearly impossible option in the US…and now there’s a CO2 crisis?
Irony.
“Hanoi Jane, ride the train home!”
Will Jane Fonda’ $8.5m mansion in Beverly Hills be matched by a similar ‘carbon neutral’ dwelling in Washington DC? How will she travel? Private jet? Or rough it with the ‘poor people’ on a public airline? Surely not an electric car put together with all that horrible metal and plastic.
This wealthy, looney, self-claiming ‘climate scientist’ is a liar and attention seeking hypocrite.
Speaking of YoKo, will she be attending also?
Take heart Jane. Certainly can’t be snow because that is a thing of the past Apatrt fromthat you can freeze your ass off like I will soon in my unheated house.
One bad decision = ignorance.
A lifetime of bad decisions = stupid.
No, Jane, it’s not a crisis, it’s hysterics.
