HILARIOUS QUOTE: They chanted slogans like "Who is hot in here / There's too
much carbon in the air" while huddling for warmth from the wind chill.

"You can't say nobody saw it coming," writes Jack Langer:

Global warmists, and particularly Al Gore, have developed an uncanny habit
of choosing record-cold days to launch major initiatives and give high
profile speeches against carbon emissions.

In fact, back in mid-December, when environmental groups announced plans for
"mass non-violent civil disobedience" on March 2 to shut down a Washington,
D.C., coal plant, National Review Online blogger Greg Pollowitz predicted a
snowstorm would hit the capital that day.

And it did:

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

DC became mitten city.

Apparently some 2500 people turned up to the momentous event, which in
percentage terms works out to around 165 people showing up at a similar
rally in Australia. According to USA Today, this was billed as "the largest
display of civil disobedience on the climate crisis in U.S. history."

Too bad it was so cold. Time's Byan Walsh reports from the chilly core of
global warming activism:

As over two thousand young activists - according to the organizers -
gathered in the Spirit of Justice Park near the Capitol, bystanders were
greeted with the surreal sight of a global warming protest that was
occurring in the middle of a freak March snowstorm.

They chanted slogans like "Who is hot in here / There's too much carbon in
the air" while huddling for warmth from the wind chill.

The greatest risk to the protesters wasn't aggressive cops - the D.C.
police, just as cold as the activists, had little interest in
confrontation - but frostbite from the hours of marching and standing in the
cold. "It's icy out there, so be careful," organizer Joshua Kahn Russell
told the crowd before the march began.

There were no reports of injuries, winter-related or otherwise, although
after six hours in the elements this reporter is still waiting to feel his
face again.

Nancy Pelosi avoided any face-numbing, due to cold weather delaying her
flight.

Perhaps if she'd flown more often, snow mightn't have been a problem !!!
