Yes, you do. If you're going to shove the BS that is anthropogenic climate change down my throat I demand you live the "solution" first.

I'll wave at you from my climate controlled home while you're digging for grubs in the summer.

Locally sourced protein, mm mm gooood.

No--I think we should keep polluting the environment and water while we strip the planet of natural resources until the earth becomes uninhabitable--then we should dispose of it.

Yes, of course cherry pick based on priorities and what can feasibly be done.

No one asked you to come here, read this thread, or post in it. Nothing's being shoved down your throat. So take your demands and shove them. The throat's a good second choice.

You are incorrect. Please don't tell me what I think or what I am trying to do. You are reflecting the exact attitudes you are whining about. I realize control freaks have a difficult time with that, but it is rude.

The Green Gestapo were out in force during the march; there were 2 or 3 ready to pounce on this same reporter when she interviewed Joe Kennedy Jr.

Kind of like all of the pollution made by governments and corporations? Don't throw stones from glass houses, kid.

It's a shame because I really wanted to hear Little Leo stammer out a response!
How do you justify partying on a gigantic yacht built with Saudi oil money and jetting around the world on a whim while you try to tell us with a straight face that you are "marching for 100% clean energy and to show leadership"?

Must have been a solar powered yacht, either that or they were able to harness the stench of elitist hypocrisy and convert it into a fuel.

Really? Well in your case, you could probably kill two birds with one stone!

Oh wow it's a veritable avalanche of garbage! I have seen some disgusting piles of trash in my day, but nothing as vile as that... I bet Al Gore personally left it there.

And hey, those people with their phones were obviously part of the march... I know when I'm in a march I like to stand in a part of the street where nobody involved with the demonstration is standing and point my cell phone camera at the action.

Seriously, Cons could be coughing up Ebola onto everyone's face and then call you a menace to society because you didn't wash your hands after taking a leak.

D.C. is trying to shutter the coal plants that provide my power; so yeah, things are being forced on me.

I'm happy with my ridiculously cheap power bills. Who'd a thunk it?
