‘Climate change activists’ are going to try and #ShutDownDC today in order to disrupt the system that perpetuates the climate crisis.
In other words, out-of-work losers are dressing up in costumes, making stupid signs, dancing, and blocking intersections because THAT’LL show the man! THAT’LL stop the ice caps from melting!
#ShutDownDC aims to "disrupt the systems that created and perpetuate the climate crisis" and block key intersections across the city to disrupt traffic. https://t.co/T3mhQk1moi

Awwww, so they’re going over to China and India where the real climate problems exist, right?
From USA Today:
Activists calling for action on climate change were disrupting morning commutes across Washington, D.C., Monday morning, just days after hundreds of thousands demonstrated alongside school children for Global Climate Strike rallies.
Shut Down D.C. aimed to “disrupt the systems that created and perpetuate the climate crisis” and block key intersections across the city to disrupt traffic.
Before 8 a.m., major intersections like K and 16th Streets NW and New York Avenue at Florida Avenue NE and at North Capitol Street had been blocked by the protests.
*eye roll*
Nothing like making tens of thousands of cars idle in traffic to show you’re serious about fighting climate change. #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/8vwiOrXdY3

Imagine all of the emissions …
They’d be better off admitting they just wanted an excuse to dress up in silly costumes and act like morons for attention.
Look at this nonsense.
This will surely win hearts and minds. pic.twitter.com/nUCD3QMCpQ

Right? The girl in the bumblebee costume is pretty moving and WHOA NELLY, that guy dancing like a cheap stripper in the middle of the crosswalk is minimizing all of our carbon footprints or whatever all on his own. POWER TO THE PEOPLE BABY.
Lots of large 18-wheel trucks forced to just sit there and idle while millennials (and middle-aged protestors in costumes) dance in the streets about the climate.
Galaxy brain stuff. https://t.co/ZgQbDeDVbE

Take that capitalism!
Comrades?
Dude.
Climate strikers are trying to shut down infrastructure in DC by refusing to move, and laying down on vehicles blocking intersections while their supporters say its “unsafe” to tow them while they’re on it. You know what? Tow that shit. #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/iZe6s9cLjw

I’m in downtown DC where climate activists with Extinction Rebellion have blocked the intersection of K and 16th streets with a big sailboat that says “rebel for life.” @WTOP @WTOPtraffic #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/NWIO1aRvM3

That pink boat … really?
HA HA HA HA
This intersection one block north of the White House is entirely frozen. I’m witnessing a climate-themed, impromptu block party with masked “polar bears.” A few dozen police gathering nearby. #ShutDownDC pic.twitter.com/rZNoWZ78Yp

They so badly want to have a movement … it would be sad if it wasn’t so damn hilarious.
