Climate protesters engage in dangerous stunts during ‘shut down DC’ event
It will certainly be interesting to see what the carbon footprint of these protests turns out to be.
Climate madness has officially arrived here in the United States thanks to a fiery speech given to Congress by a 15 year old European girl.
Greta Thunberg has been the talk of the town this week after laying into legislators with some incendiary, yet predictably liberal rhetoric regarding “global warming”.

Thunberg’s climate change alarmism is spreading, of course, and Americans are taking to the streets in response.
In the nation’s capital, these liberal protesters at pushing the limits of what could be considered a “civil protest”, however, attempting to completely shut down The Beltway and DC’s business districts.
We've completely blocked the streets by the Capitol. This disruption is temporary—but the climate crisis is permanent. We're here because we need the leaders in that building to wake up and start acting like our house is on fire. Because it is. #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/sTdlW2oclE

One Twitter user made a fairly valid point about the gridlock:
Nothing like making tens of thousands of cars idle in traffic to show you’re serious about fighting climate change. #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/ONhm4ziftv

Some behavior was just simply bizarre.

Some even forced the police to take drastic and dangerous action.
Police are still working to cut out the last pair of #ShutDownDC #ClimateChange protesters locked down to the Extinction Rebellion sailboat.
Presumably the boat will be towed away once the locked down protesters are removed.

Then came one of the most asinine stunts yet…
DC police towed a van with people on top of it yesterday. 😳 #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/wCMxjJzplS
