"It's Too Cold To Protest Global Warming At Yale"

"Yale anti-fossil fuel campaigners have indefinitely postponed a protest that was set for this weekend due to “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues.”"

"Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told the Yale Daily News that frigid, snowy weather set for this weekend will mean their global warming protest will have to be postponed."

And people said they couldn't make a difference. Just the threat of a protest from these committed individuals scares the Spanx off mother nature.

It's bloody hot out here -- and dry. This is where all the funding comes from. Just saying.

Irony Free Yale.

"Irony Free Yale."

Nowadays, ultimate success for higher education (in establishment bastions like Yale, anyway) is the total suppression of non-PC thought. So it may well be that the irony is lost on these Yalies because the internal governor that's been implanted in them doesn't let any thought that might challenge the agenda coalesce.

I know some people who gloat about the existence of pederast priests claiming that it invalidates Catholicism.

No decent, intelligent, educated human being should want to be like that.

Not even as a joke.

It will be brutally cold here this weekend.

It's 78 today, and 81 tomorrow here in the southland. Sorry, I hate to rub it in, but don't blame me. I support global warming, so that I can eventually move out of this socialist clusterfuck of a one-party idiocracy.

What do we want?
A bigger carbon footprint
When do we want it ?
NOW!

Get your Cadillac, warm it up for 30 minutes, then drive it down to the mailbox, grab the mail, then do a few donuts through the front yard. Then, go inside and start a big blazing fire, have some adult beverages, work up a sweat and exhale with great vigor. Do it for the planet. Do it for me, because:

IT"S FRIDAY!!!!!

ricpic, exactly. Irony Free Yale. Also, they probably call it "climate change." "Global warming" has proved to be a problematic semantic construction and so it is under the bus with all the other banned wrongspeak.
"Climate change" is, of course, an equally problematic semantic construction for its intended purpose but these programmed drones haven't the mental capability and intellectual curiosity to figure out why.

Remind me again why I should ever recommend Yale to a HS graduate....a certificate of completion from a welding school has more intellectual heft than a diploma from any of the Ivies these days..

Didn't Mommy knit them a muffler and mittens?

It's 10º below with strong winds out of the north. Man up Yale!

It's now 5º below. More proof of global warming!

8 degrees below zero in Detroit this morning, with a brisk wind to add to the misery. We're told that a heat wave of plus 10 is coming up with the sun. April & May cannot come too soon...I have the gear to handle the cold, but under these abnormal conditions I accompany our dog out side and bring her back the moment she finishes her business...usually within 4-5 minutes.
