Make sure to bundle up for that global warming protest today

Excerpts from this link:

We intend synchronised demonstrations around the world on Saturday December 8th 2007 - in as many places as possible - to call on world leaders to take urgent action on climate change.
...
We feel that there is an overwhelming need to create a groundswell of global opinion to push for the urgent and radical action on climate change, without which we risk a global catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.

I don't know if there are global warming protests scheduled today in Minnesota, but at the moment, the current temperature at my house is -6 F (-21 C).

Excerpt from this link:

EDMONTON, AB >> 11:00 am - 1:00 pm, Dec. 8th. Canada Place.

"Join us on the streets for a climate funeral." Meet at Canada Place (south side entrance), march to the Alberta Legislature. The procession will go from Canada Place to the Alberta legislature. There will be a coffin, a minister, songs, taps, and more. "Please wear black, bring your tears and push our government to give us a future." Organized by the CYCC, Greenpeace, STOP (Stop Tar Sands Operations Permanently) and the Sierra Club.

Note that as of this morning, the temperature in Edmonton was -18 F (-28 C).

Update: Sorry, the above information is outdated. As of 8:30am Central time, the Edmonton temperature was actually -20 F.

Another excerpt from that page about a protest in Calgary:

Santa, elves and polar bears are among the first to be affected by climate change. The reality is that many humans and animals are at considerable risk of becoming environmental refugees. The elves and polar bears will be handing out information about the effects on climate change its subsequent creation of environmental refugees. One side of the handout will have information, and the other side will have the lyrics to 4 or 5 activist Christmas carols that we will be singing. We will also be carrying placards bearing news headlines related to climate change and environmental refugees.
