Climate Change Rally

I attended the "Cool The Planet" rally in Guelph today, to coincide with the climate changes talks in Bali. A good turnout, here are a couple pics:

Looks pretty cold out.

Indeed it looks cold, but it also looks like a good turn out.

There are pretty impressive numbers of demonstrators around the world.

Does it make a difference? I suspect the politicians ignore it to a great extent, but it fuels the grassroots and gets those who previously were not involved paying attention.

Good on you Steve and thanks for the pic's.

One of the dinosaurs is trying to be clever.

Better a dinosaur than an anarchist.

I just showed up to support the people who organized, and do alot of work locally. One good thing, the rally was right downtown, where all the city buses are stationed, so at the least it made some people think.

Yes, the entire rally started chanting Bakunin in verse, very exhilirating. Oh, you're an ignorant hoot aren't you? Somewhere there is a rock, waiting for you to crawl back.

Anon...an anarchist would be someone protesting against convention and law. Uh, that would be Baird, Harper and co. are doing.

Demonstrators are arguing to support convention and law.

Nice try, but more than ill informed.
