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.
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.
