Well you see, a smelly hippie dropped a Starbucks cup on the ground, so that means the ocean level isn't going to rise and flood Miami. It's a little something called "science", which you probably wouldn't understand because you're an ivory tower unwashed tree hugger marxist sheeple.

It wasn't actually supposed to do anything-just let the little hippies have their little party and move on. It's kind of like Burning Man for the poor and ignorant.

Climate change is like a new pagan religion at this point. All the lost flock to it and feel a part of something.

400,000 people is a "little party"? When was the last time any tea party rally or cause attracted throngs like that?

And they were hardly "little hippies". Did you actually read any articles or simply swallow the right-wing propaganda whole?

"More than 1,500 groups filled Central Park West before the march. They represented a variety of interests, including the scientific community and religious organizations. More than 50,000 students were there because they were worried about their future, while grandparents came out of concern for their legacy."

Don't forget, many of the protesters were also marching for an end to capitalism... with their iPhones and Starbucks cups in hand.

How is it hypocritical to have an iphone? Are you under the misguided impression that in order to preserve the planet, we must stop all phone communications?

You must be confused. There were 300,000 to 400,000 climate marchers and 1,000 at most in a separate Wall Street protest the following day. So "many of the protesters" were not also marching for an end to capitalism. Where do people come up with such misinformation? Rush Limaugh?
