(Guardian) More than 400 protesters stuck their heads in the sand on Australia’s Bondi Beach on Thursday, mocking the government’s reluctance to put climate change on the agenda of a G20 summit this weekend.
Prime minister Tony Abbott’s perceived failure to address climate change is all the more galling in the wake of an agreement between the United States and China on Wednesday to limit their carbon emissions, they said. (snip)
Parents with babies, school children and working people in business suits dug holes on the beach and stuck their heads in them. The ostrich is said to stick its head in the sand in futile bid to avoid danger.
Ornithologists say the African bird does no such thing but that didn’t spoil the protest.
Here ya go

BTW, how did they get to the beach? Fossil fueled vehicles, perhaps?
Judging by the picture, they were putting their best faces forward!
Aren’t such suicidal behaviors usually considered a major symptom of psychiatric problems?
Need more sand.
