Greenpeace plans rally in Jupiter -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

JUPITER - About 200 people are expected to stand on the sand at Carlin Park on Saturday and spell out "Stop Global Warming," part of Greenpeace's twin-coast Florida effort to bring more attention to creating clean energy.

Supporters are expected to gather at the park around 1 p.m. and form the words while a Greenpeace plane flies overhead and takes photographs. Greenpeace is planning the same setup on a beach in Sarasota, where volunteers will spell out "Vote for a Safe Climate."

The volunteers are scheduled to hold red placards above their heads to make the words visible from the air.

Vancouver Sun editorial: Stephen Harper is our choice for the rough road ahead

...Meanwhile, Dion's platform is designed to drive the economy in a new direction. The Green Shift is at heart similar to British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell's carbon tax. They are both designed to be somewhat disruptive to the economy while over time discouraging the use of fossil fuels.

But with concern over jobs, incomes and retirement savings outweighing the fear of climate change, we see little appetite for risky exploration of uncertain economic territory. That makes the Green Shift the wrong plan for the times, regardless of any theoretical merit.
