Now even Burning Man is a threat to the planet in the eyes of the climate extremists.

A handful of radicals caused a miles-long traffic standstill in Nevada by blocking access the annual desert counter-culture fest, which “only” aims to be carbon-neutral by the end of the decade.

They complained about “capitalism’s inability to address climate’s ecological breakdown” and ” the commodification” of the festival.

Way to build a coalition for change, you idiots.

Others of the same ilk caused a major DC traffic jam last weekend, again supposedly to get the world to give up on fossil fuels immediately.

None of which is going to stop China from building more coal power plants, and/or extending its world lead in carbon emissions.

All it does infuriate people who might well be on the protesters’ side: DC is a pretty Democratic town, but drivers left their stopped cars to throw the protestors’ signs back at them.  

This particular band of public-relations geniuses, Declare Emergency, is the same that mutilated art not a week before in the name of climate awareness. 

 As we’ve said before, this “activism” is nothing but self-indulgent acting out.

The best we can say is that it does less actual harm than all the misbegotten multibillion-dollar “anti-climate change” initiatives that the greens who do understand p.r. (but not the actual science) are inflicting on the rest of us.
