NEW YORK (AP) -- Americans worried about climate change gathered Saturday on ski slopes and in cities for a nationwide day of demonstrations aimed at drawing attention to global warming.

More than 1,300 events were organized in every state under the banner Step It Up 2007 to push Congress to require an 80 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

"When it comes to global warming, I don't exactly think President Bush is doing such a hot job," said 12-year-old New Yorker Tiffany Cordero. "A lot of people are thinking just of now. But we won't have a 'now' if we don't focus on the future."

Tiffany delivered a speech for a rally in lower Manhattan's Battery Park, overlooking New York Harbor, where people dressed in blue -- some equipped with scuba gear and beach balls -- gathered to form a Sea of People human line to symbolically mark New York's future coastline.

Note how the kids are dressed in this mid-April protest, 24 days into spring, about global WARMING.

... demonstrations aimed at drawing attention to global warming.As if it isn't already being given almost infinitely more attention than it deserves.

More than 1,300 events were organized in every state under the banner Step It Up 2007 to push Congress to require an 80 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.Kill those braindead wackos and their stilled breaths would go a long way toward meeting that arbitrary and meaningless goal.

The Morons advertising themselves.

99% of them are ignorant of it all.

Sad.

[DoctorDoom]

I wonder if the stupid bastards ever actually wondered how the US would reduce CO2 emissions by 80% without going back to a medieval level of existence.

IAC, I don't see the asswipes cutting their own "footprints" by 80%. E.g., how many of them drove to the "events" in their own cars?

I regged at the GW Skeptics site, but haven't posted.

The kids seems unaware that their computer games would vanish if the CO2 reductions happens the way Al Gore wants it.

:D

Thanks Doctor.

I am mildmannered so post something.

:ooo:

[John Galt]

They are not asking us to cut CO2 by 80%, they are asking us for a 95% cut.....

The organizers should be arrested for scaring little kids into doing this; kids so easily manipulated that they don't notice the irony that they are freezing their asses off in late April. They shop for a quote for a kid who blames Bush, which belies the organizers' strategy of indoctrinating the youth with farcical messages that only Rats care about the environment when in fact they are using global warming as a tool with which to impose more government control.

[sunsettommy]

Only a putz would use children for political propaganda purposes.

A form of child abuse I would say.

Today the Student-Run news organization at my high school ran a clip telling us how to prevent global warming. ONe of my teachers litteraly called me an idiot for saying I didnt believe in it.

However, I wonder if she would think all these people are idiots as well.

[DoctorDoom]

The students who run the news org are being spoonfed the Gorebot lies by the liberal teachers. They wouldn't conceive of writing anything that went against what those leftist brainwashers dictate.

Tell your idiot teacher that he/she/it is welcome to register here and face off against old bastards like me who are not even impressed, let alone intimidated.

[sunsettommy]

Has she showed up yet?

:roar:

ONe of my teachers litteraly called me an idiot for saying I didnt believe in it. Richard Lindzen is a professor of climatology at MIT, one of the premier institutions of higher learning, and of science, in the world. Lindzen doesn't believe in it, either, so we idiots are in pretty good company.
