It’s something when, on the same day, Chapel Hill exhibits some normalcy (see previous post) and Durham reveals left-wing moonbattery. This choice bit just came to me via the Trinity Park listserv:
Join thousands of others around the country for a call to action to our local and national governments to “step up” and address Global Warming.
Bring your family, friends, strollers, bicycles, neighbors, and pets for a walk/ride downtown to support action against climate change; this is our community’s statement, help us make it a strong one. We will start our walk at Duke University’s East campus (corner of Markham Ave. and Broad St.) at 11 am, and walk downtown ending with a group photo(location to be determined). There are over a thousand events scheduled across the country, our photos will be used with thousands of others to document the movement. Durham is having the Durham Art Walk and the Full Frame Documentary festival downtown, as well as Duke’s annual undergraduate reunion weekend, so it’s a great opportunity for exposure to this cause. And I personally am glad to give my 2 year old his first taste of peaceful demonstration. Come join your community and unite for climate action. …
Step It Up is supporting local actions across the USA on April 14th to raise awareness on global warming. Our current plan is to meet at East Campus the morning of April 14th, and lead a walk downtown at 11 am (to a yet to be determined location) to show support for action against climate change.
Before hitting the streets they ought to read some posts on EnvironmentNC, or this from The New York Times, or watch this from Channel 4 in Britain.
