And I suppose they’re all going to walk or bicycle to get there. No cars, subways, buses, taxis, trains, limos, planes...

Do these idiots know they are marching to shut down half the power plants in the US, cripple the economy and throw themselves into darkness and cold during the winter? Thats what it will take to meet the CO2 reductions required to have even a minimal impact on climate.
