Without fossil fuels NYC would be nothing. The amount of goods that flow through NYC. The vast amounts of fossil fueled vehicles, from buses to private cars to taxis to garbage trucks to police cars to the mayor’s limo. Airports. The vast majority of the energy for NYC is from fossil fuels.
Climate change protesters set to demonstrate outside Bank of America in Bryant Park
Climate change protests will continue on Tuesday, this time against Bank of America.
Critics say that the bank is the third largest financier of fossil fuels.
The protest will be held at the Bank of America Tower in Bryant Park starting at 10 a.m.
On Monday more than a hundred people were arrested on Wall Street during a climate change demonstration and protest.
A total of 114 protesters were arrested and taken into custody in Lower Manhattan. Most were expected to be processed and released.
Don’t these people have jobs? How many are wearing clothes and shoes made with petroleum? How about their smartphones? Most of their banners are made with petroleum.
Despite the arrests, the group promises more activism this week during the U.N. General Assembly.
“This is our last resort,” said Alicé Nascimento of New York Communities for Change. “We’re bringing the crisis to their doorstep and this is what it looks like.”
Have any noted the vast amounts of fossil fuels needed to bring all the people to the UN this week? How many of the protesters took a fossil fueled trip to NYC?
The aim of the protesters is to demand an end to fossil fuel financing from outside the largest financial institutions and the New York Stock Exchange.
Funny how they always demand Other People comply with their beliefs. Bunch of Fascists.
The March to End Fossil Fuels featured such politicians as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and actors Susan Sarandon, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Kyra Sedgewick and Kevin Bacon. But the real action on Broadway was where protesters crowded the street, pleading for a better but not-so-hot future. It was the opening salvo to New York’s Climate Week, where world leaders in business, politics and the arts gather to try to save the planet, highlighted by a new special United Nations summit Wednesday.
Organizers estimated 75,000 people marched Sunday.
And all of them use vast amounts of fossil fuels. How many constantly purchase products, from food to clothes to TVs, that are shipped using fossil fuels?
For many, that is their job. Political activism in the USA pays pretty well. That’s why there are so many activist groups in the USA and so few in the rest of the world. Founders of BLM cashed out MILLIONS. Donors for the various causes make sure travel budgets, per diems, and “reasonable expenses” all get paid with untraceable cash so that founders and funders can never be held personally accountable for the damage they do. It is the democratic party way. How many “save the whale” groups do you think there are in China? The Chinese wouldn’t even save Pandas until the USA started leasing them for our zoos. Do you think any Africans care about Global warming other than the promise Al Gore made them that the USA would pay them to get on board?
