Irony - a fine appreciation
I wonder if the people
participating at this event will recognize the fine irony of having several inches of snow being dumped on their heads as they march around looking silly.
Especially since
Hanson is putting his career on the line by calling for civil disobedience at this event:
NASA's Chief Climate Scientist Stirs Controversy With Call for Civil Disobedience
NASA's chief climate scientist is in hot water with colleagues and at least one lawmaker after calling on citizens to engage in civil disobedience at what is being billed as the largest public protest of global warming ever in the United States.
Weather
forecast calls temps around 29 and 70% chance of snow and now:
Winter Storm Warning in effect until 2 PM Monday... Light to moderate snow will continue to overspread the Washington DC and Baltimore Metro areas...as well as northern Virginia during the evening. This area of precipitation will increase in intensity over the next few hours. The heaviest activity will impact the immediate I-95 corridor where snowfall rates up to 1 inch per hour is possible through 9 PM. Further west...snowfall accumulation over the next few hours will be less than a half inch..mainly on grassy surfaces. As the heavier snow comes down...roadways will become snow covered. Please use extra caution if you have to travel this evening.
