The "Hopenhagen" site is sickening, especially the photo on the "sign the petition" page...

Whoever selected the photo thought it was of a beautiful, rustic scene with local color added by a peasant in her Sunday best clothes. Instead, I see third-world squalor where uneducated people work dawn to dusk at backbreaking manual labor to harvest crops from every square foot of arable land in manually built small terraces. All you gets you is near-subsistence living in a local village. If you are serious about feeding 6 billion people and freeing people from such eternal drudgery, you must do it with massive farms and huge fossil-fuel burning machinery, not with pretty peasants holding hand scythes.

This photo is a typical leftist message that we would all be better off in pre-industrial revolution times.

Exactly right! And there is no 'power to the peasants' rallies in these 'locales'. They are 'owned' and we know by whom.
