James Hansens värsta motståndare?!

Intressant och kul inlägg hos Lubos Motl om aktivisters och James Hansens attack -- "mass civil disobedience" -- mot ett kolkraftverk i morgon.

"Meanwhile, in the real world, Weather Underground predicts that D.C. will experience -11 °C on that day which should break the record low temperature for March 2nd, -10 °C, that was measured in 1925, before the previous Great Depression. ;-)

[...]

A winter storm warning is in effect between Sunday 2 p.m. and Monday 2 p.m. so theirs could be a pretty "cool" event. :-)

New snow is very likely, too. Total snow accumulation should be between 5 and 8 inches."

Fyndiga skämt och bilder samt en kul parallell med en annan march ett särskilt årtal. Se allt här!

Uppdatering: Arrangörerna har visst uppmanat deltagare att klä sig i finkläder i den demonstration man ser som ett avgörande ögonblick i kampen för ...att sabotera västs och världens ekonomi, eller vad de nu är ute efter?!? Finner dock även denna kommentar:

"Be sure to wear a waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. There will be a lot of snow on the ground and freezing rain coming down. Don’t catch your death. Oh and it might be a good idea to drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle in case the roads get messed up."

...och arrangörerna uppmanar, efter hänvisningen till rådet att klä sig flott, till att "first and foremost - dress to stay warm and healthy".

"Ha, ha.

Albert Einstein :- “Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

Today there is a protest, lead by government employee James Hansen, in Washington DC. He claims that coal-fired power is akin to an atrocity perpetrated in the 1940’s and that the trains that deliver that coal are “death trains”.

Never was there a more obvious move to demolish civilization. 50% of our electricity comes from coal. The man, and his following, is bad for business, possibly unhinged and definately outside his remit.

Luckily, Hilariously, the “weather” today in DC is “snow with biting wind and low temperatures” and this protest will be seen as the insane, hateful idiocy that it most surely is.

Take a look. Have a laugh. But, then, get back to doing your bit to ensure that this madness dies as soon as possible and the perpetrators are denied access to funding, politics and the media for the rest of their squalidly revisionist lifetimes."
