it’s amazing that anyone would be stupid enough to think this will sway people to their side.

Hundreds of far-left activists stormed the field of Saturday’s college football game between Harvard and Yale, demanding action on climate change and demanding that the U.S. cancel Puerto Rico’s debt.

Was their banner made with paper or plastic? Did they use toxic chemical paints to put their message on the banner? Did they carpool to the stadium or all arrive in each their own vehicle? Did some fly across country to attend the game to make this protest? Did they coordinate this protest through their electronic devices made from plastics and other mined materials?

How about you, do you drive a gasoline vehicle to work? Do you fly? Do you have solar panels on your roof? What are you doing to deal with the problem?

I’m not protesting on a football field during a national broadcast. My personal vehicle averages around 30 mpg city, I limit my trips as much as possible, takes more than two weeks to get 300 miles, I do as much as reasonably possible to reduce my home utilities while still keeping my disabled wife comfortable. I agree too many are very wasteful but that’s their personal choice. I choose to conserve for the sake of money. Lower gas used, lower utility rates, and lower miles drive. (Insurance drive device) all to lower the money I spend.

If you really want to impact climate change, fund research into better battery technology. You'll change the world.

Try that anywhere in the MidWest or South and you'll be underneath of a large pile of players.

“We need some 1960s level activism to save our planet and democracy. In the next couple of years, the protests will become so big that cops wont be able to handle it and the national guard/military will have to be called in.”
God bless these young men and women. We need protests in this country because us Americans are so blind and delusional.

Did they carry a poster demanding that Democratic governors immediately implement 55 MPH on their state highways??
