I actually do not approve of this, it’s better to have a debate, especially if it’s a private citizen. However, Mayor Pete has supported these nutjobs, he’s part of their cult, so, it’s a real shame when that rabid dog turns around and bites ya where the sun don’t shine
‘Stop Petro Pete!’: Buttigieg Chased Off Stage By Chanting Climate Protesters
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was chased off stage Tuesday evening by climate change protesters who hijacked the Maryland policy forum at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
A video posted on X by Climate Defense, a youth-led organization opposing the use of fossil fuels, shows chanting demonstrators demanding that Buttigieg address environmental issues.
The student activists were heard chanting “Stop Petro Pete” while holding an accompanying sign with the same words in bold, printed letters. They stormed the stage with other chants like “Stop S.P.O.T. and GulfLink,” referring to crude infrastructure and export projects.
“Your DOT just approved the Seaport Oil Terminal, a project that will have 80 coal plants worth of greenhouse gas emissions and will worsen air quality in the areas that are already a living cancer cluster,” one protestor told Buttigieg as he took the stage. “This is about environmental racism and it’s about the climate impacts that this project will have. Will you commit to stopping these projects?”
Well, that’s a shame, they forgot to mention how often Pete travels by fossil fueled conveyances. Did he drive in an EV to Maryland, or, a fossil fueled SUV?
Breaking: we just chased Secretary Pete Buttigieg off the stage at the Meyerhoff Symphony.
Petro Pete is a coward. As we write he is ramming down our throats the Sea Port and GulfLink oil terminals – each worse than Keystone.
We must resist him with all we've got. And we will. pic.twitter.com/aVKeCre5eH

I wonder how the kiddies traveled to the Meyerhoff Symphony? I wonder if they realize just about everything they’re wearing is made with petroleum? Especially since, as you can hear, they were yammering about ending fossil fuels.
Meanwhile
Refusing to fly has lost me my job as a climate researcher. It’s a price worth paying
Two weeks ago, my employer presented me with a stark ultimatum: return to my offices in Kiel, Germany, within five days, or lose my job. I am a climate researcher and since March 2023, I have been completing vital fieldwork into the social impact of climate change almost 24,000km away by overland routes, on the island of Bougainville off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
The “social impact of climate.” Remember, this is all about Science, though
My fieldwork had been mired in unforeseeable problems, from natural disasters to security threats, and my employer was, unsurprisingly, unhappy that my return had been delayed by many weeks. The urgency of their request to return meant I would have to jump on a plane if I was to meet the deadline; but for me, this was not an option. I have been practising conscientious objection to flying for more than 10 years. My employer has supported me on a “slow trip” in the past. I do not boycott flying altogether, but I will only catch a plane when no other alternative exists.
This weekend, I will set sail on a cargo ship to return to Germany, travelling to East New Britain in Papua New Guinea. From there, I will cover the remaining distance to Europe by cargo ship, ferry, train and coach.
Well, good on him. If only more Warmists would practice what they preach. However, what powers the cargo ship?
They were cancelling his fully funded vacation and demanding he get back to work. He wants to take more than a month returning by cruise ship. Extended paid vacation disguised as official company travel. Such a grand conscience. So brave. If he were truly conscientious, he would have stayed home in Germany and hired local people in Bougainville to do the “field research”. They have phones and internet there. I’m sure they can be trusted to take samples and conduct surveys.
GAY!
Yes teach he is using fossil fuels. The profits of which have funded Hamas for decades.
How long will you provide funding for Hamas and other terror groups by supporting them via fossil fuels use? Do you have any plans to reduce your use which supports the global price of fossil fuels? Of course it is impossible to stop that use completely, but surely you have so e personal plan to try and use fossil fuels use that supports terrorism?
