Yesterday I mentioned a Washington Post story telling people to take to the streets to protest the Capital coal plant. Today is the day of the protest
A significant winter storm shuttered schools, disrupted train and bus service and left thousands of people without power in the Washington area this morning, as hundreds of plows struggled to clear between three and 12 inches of snow from roads throughout the region.
About three to six inches total accumulation was expected inside the Capital Beltway, with up to a foot falling in parts of Southern Maryland, making it potentially the largest winter storm in the region in three years. Strong winds sent flakes dancing through the air, and temperatures hovered in the low 20s, allowing the snow to stick. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing all day, forecasters said, and the wind might push the wind chill to single digits tonight.
As usual, great timing by the Climahysterics.
 
The infamous Dr. James Hansen should be there leading the charge. My post last week about 2008 being the coldest year this decade included a reference to Hansen. I wrote, “This is the same man who turned off the air conditioning in the Capitol while speaking about Global Warming on a hot day in 1988.â€Â I also mentioned his exposure of bad data for Russia just this past October. He used September data (a statistically warmer month) in place of cooler October data. This skewed the temperatures upward.
I don’t knock him for his extreme beliefs, but I do disagree with the questionable tactics he uses to get his message across. According to Fox News , he is in hot water since he works for NASA, yet is helping to organize a protest.
Hansen might be stuck in New York due to the weather. Of course, the true believers will say that this is just weather, and is caused by “climate change.” Then they’ll get in their SUVs for the slow commute to work.
I wonder if Obama will needle the protesters as sissy’s if they don’t show up en mass, telling them they need “some flinty Chicago toughness.” Or will he jack the thermostat up?
A.J Strata has some great information on how Japan is breaking away from the IPCC silliness, and what consensus really is.
