BRRR AGAINST WARMING

Montreal:

Tens of thousands of people ignored frigid temperatures Saturday to lead a worldwide day of protest against global warming.

Sydney:

Thousands of people have marched through central Sydney, ignoring wet and windy weather to protest against global warming.

Brisbane:

Torrential rain dampened crowd numbers and drowned out speeches at the rally in Brisbane, where thousands were expected but only 1500 showed up.

Byron Bay:

People had been invited to bring along their umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. But it didn’t quite turn out like that at Saturday’s Walk Against Warming at Byron Bay as steady rain fell on the more than 100 people who joined the protest.

  4. Crash,

    The BNP trial was an operation by the BBC to jail a political leader.  They never seem to have done any journalism into the very dodgy world of one G-Galloways finances.  A party with far left links to communists and jihadis.

    It’s time to play hardball.

  5. All I know is that yesterday morning, it was nice and mild here in Chicago.

    By late afternoon, it started getting cold.

    Now we are expecting snow this weekend.

    AL GORE STAY THE HELL OUT OF CHICAGO!

  6. The Gore Effect apparently does not require the presence of the Prophet of Doom himself.

    Facinating.

    Gorbal Warmening protest = rain dance.

  7. The explanation is easy:

    Gaea hates swampies.

  8. A wake-up call for another planet: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6135450.stm

    A hurricane-like storm, two-thirds the diameter of Earth, is raging at Saturn’s south pole, new images from Nasa’s Cassini space probe reveal.
    Measuring 5,000 miles (8,000km) across, the storm is the first hurricane ever detected on a planet other than Earth.


    We can’t say we weren’t warned

  9. Erm, I shoveled about 7 cubic metres of sand yesterday, at the time I was praying hoping for Gaia to bring a small amount of rain to cool me off.  This never occured.

    Does that mean Mother Gaia doesnt like me, yet loves comrade Albert?

    P.S. 7 cubic metres of water is 7 tons, sand is heavier…

  10. Come on Tim.  We all know that if it’s hot it’s due to global warmening.  We also know that if it snows or dips below freezing or rains excessively or not enough or temperatures remain close to the norm for any given area, it’s due to global warmening.  All weather phenomenon after the industrial revolution, whether abnormal or normal, is due to SUVs causing global warmening.  Don’t even try to deny it.  And if you need proof, all you need to do is read the Book of Gore, chapter 1 verse 13.

  11. On a daily basis they could be two-times as productive if they marched to the beaches and protested the tides.

  13. #5, R237, are you having globbal woofing demonstrations there tomorrow?  We have to drive my mother-in-law to Illinois tomorrow, an eight hour round trip for us, and it’s supposed to snow?  I am not happy.

  14. they should take these moonbat gatherings on a tour of australia’s drought areas, guaranteed to bring rain.

  15. Gaea hates swampies.

    Either that, or the message is, “Take a bath, you effing hippies!!!”

  17. China is creating a power plants everywhere, while making new cities as big as Brisbane every month.

    p.s. Has anyone watched CCtv on SBS? The chinese love to sit in Big chairs, and they enjoy clapping at things. Goog news, gutsy news over there..

  18. A mass rally in swimwear against global cooling can’t be far away.
    And not necessarily a bad thing, either.

    (1.618 - I see you’re bringing the family along now.)

    Don’t tell the global warmenisers climate change worshippers - the Saturnians will face tens of thousands of protesters, then there’ll be trouble.
    Wonder when they’re going to Mars to march?

    I hadn’t even contemplated the strong pong.  Perhaps it’s best that there are less an the expected attendees?

  21. Hurricanes on Saturn! Global warming knows no bounds!

  22. Newcastle had a big protest last weekend, and it only stopped raining yesterday. We even got hail at one point.

    Is there a baby number lurking around here now?

  24. Swimwear could be a great way to protest!

    “Look at me, stop global warming I’m hot!”

  25. 1.618 - I could have sworn I saw ‘11:11’ posted by you just above your comment at 17. Excuse me, I have these problems when the caffeine in my bloodstream drops below a certain level (somewhere around 98% I think).
    Today is of course Remembrance Day. I realise that now, but Nov 11 triggers 1975 first and 1918 second inside my head.

  26. Brrr…It’s cold tonight, I can’t wait for global warming in the morning.

  27. I propose global warming rallies anytime it looks like the Poms may win a cricket match.

    Yes, joyful and thankful remembrance of the first, followed by sober loving appreciation of those who grow not old

  31. #29 - Nicely put.
    Just got home from seeing Flags Of Our Fathers. I found it very moving, and not the anti-war bleat that some MSM commentary might lead you to expect.

  32. Apparently it rained at the U2 concert in Sydney last night. Gaia obviously hates those retards too.

  33. Lefties in swimsuits? Mental image of the anti-war protesters with their placards in swimsuits from so many blogs ago. Now trying to fit a scourer up my nose to scrub those mental images off my brain! Cheers SC.

  34. 31. SwinishCapitalist. I saw it recently in an almost empty cinema. Perhaps being in Japan had something to do with that…

    It basically said that war is ugly and messy. This seems to be an unpleasant surprise to many people.

  36. The answer to global warming - and the great Australian drought - is to hold global warming protests and functions. The evidence is indisputable.

  37. #3 Keith in Mountain View, I hadn’t thought of that. You’ve opened up a whole new metaphor :-)

    Ol’ King Canute’s problem was simply one of bad timing. He should have waited a few hours.

    No, how about Ol’ Al “King Canute” Gore?

  38. On a daily basis they could be two-times as productive if they marched to the beaches and protested the tides.

    Or once if we could get them to march out far enough.  After all, if the ocean is rising so fast polar bears can’t keep up, what chance would treenie-weenies have?
