Climate activists have new target in mind for major summer protest: 'Make their lives miserable'
Story by Lawrence Richard • 3h •
A group of climate activists are eyeing their next big protest over the summer.
In a statement to group members and supporters, Climate Defiance is calling for a "historic blockade" of the Congressional Baseball Game, an annual competition where Republican and Democratic members of Congress compete in America’s favorite pastime.
"We - society, humanity - are careening into an abyss. The decisions we make now will reverberate not for centuries, but for millennia. If we do not act now, boldly and swiftly, millions will die from storms and from starvation," Climate Defiance said in an email to supporters.
"So long as Congress torches our planet, we won’t give them a moment of rest. It is unconscionable that they play games while destroying our prospect for a decent future," Climate Defiance founder Michael Greenberg said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Our entire world faces imminent catastrophe. Congress has the power to save millions – even billions – of lives. The fact that they haven’t already ended fossil fuel subsidies is shameful. We’re shutting down the Congressional Baseball Game to send a message: we will do whatever it takes to force those in power to end fossil fuels."

Hyperbole run amok...but these younger generations lap it up.

Why are they pissed with congress, if they really want to go after those 'torching the planet' shouldn't their targets be more like China, India and others that are stupendously polluting?

Summer in DC? Spray them down with sugar water and let the yellow jackets take care of them.
