The Tennessee ConserVOLiance

NASA climatologist James Hansen has joined the call for civil disobedience at tomorrow’s Capitol Climate Action Demonstration - March 2nd 2009. The organizors are targeting the Capitol Power Plant, a coal-fired plant in DC which supplies heating and cooling to the Capitol and Congressional office buildings.

The Capitol Climate Action Project is explicitly calling for massive civil disobedience:

“We will surround the plant, disrupting access, and refuse to leave when asked.”

There’s going to be just one little PR / Public image /perception problem tomorrow. They’re going to be having a snowstorm in DC.

Monday

Cloudy. Occasional snow in the morning…then a chance of snow in the afternoon. Additional snow accumulation around an inch. Total snow accumulation 5 to 8 inches. Brisk with highs in the upper 20s. Northwest winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of snow 80 percent.

- Weather Underground forecast for DC

It’s now so common as to be downright laughable - whenever a public protest about global warming is scheduled, it seems almost guaranteed to produce a blizzard and/or record low temperatures.

Proof that God has a sense of humor.
