Global Warming Protest Snowed Out

Out With A Shiver: Global Warming Protest Frozen Out by Massive Snowfall

Global warming activists stormed Washington Monday for what was billed as the nation's largest act of civil disobedience to fight climate change -- only to see the nation's capital virtually shut down by a major winter storm.

Schools and businesses were shuttered, lawmakers cancelled numerous appearances and the city came to a virtual standstill as Washington was blasted with its heaviest snowfall of the winter.

It spelled about six inches of trouble for global warming activists who had hoped to swarm the Capitol by the thousands in an effort to force the government to close the Capitol Power Plant, which heats and cools a number of government buildings, including the Supreme Court and the Capitol.

The snowy scene, with temperatures in the mid-20s, was reminiscent of a day in January 2004, when Al Gore made a major address on global warming in New York -- on one of the coldest days in the city's history.

Protest organizers said about 2,500 people braved the blizzard to oppose greenhouse gas emissions, but the shroud of snow wasn't the only wet blanket in the nation's capital Monday.

The enviro-crazies have been trying for decades.  They finally found one that stuck.  Anyone heard any news about acid rain or the ozone layer lately?

Not for lack of effort on my part.  Seal I-95 and I-93 and let the Massholes freeze in the dark when I cut the power going to Mass.

If your VRWC dues are paid up, I'll see what we can do.   :uhsure:

They are going more with "Global Climate Change" now, so they can fit any temperature off the historical mean into their propaganda, high or low.

Gore's timing couldn't be worse.  Every time he has given a Globull Warming speech since he declared himself "Saviour of Gaia", it has either been snowing or cold enough to breeze the brass off of a monkey's privates....
