Among the most galling visions, as U.S. carmakers stand cap-in-hand before the American people, is the site of a preening GM Vice President Bob Lutz pretending to be green.

Lutz is firmly on the record as someone who is too lazy, too ideologically hidebound or just too stupid to look at the latest robust and frightening science of climate change. He has dismissed global warming as "a total crock of shit," saying that he puts his faith in the signatories of the laughable Oregon petition.

London: Climate change march - more vegans than you can shake a stick at « Mac Uaid

By my reckoning there were about 2000 people in Parliament Square when the march arrived. It was a much less miserable event than last year’s freezing sodden trudge because we were a lot luckier with the weather. Now I know that the rationale for marching in December is so that the London march happens at the same time as the 70 or so other marches across the world but there are other months in the year when the odds of getting cold and wet are lower. This would probably make for a larger demonstration.

There were not that many union banners present. The largest organised contingents seemed to be either groups of musicians and various lifestyle cohorts. I’m open to correction but one of the groups of musicians seemed to repeatedly play a version of Devo’s politically incorrect Mongoloid. The lifestyle organisations were all pushing the anti-meat message and there was a big emphasis on the virtues of veganism and its part in reducing methane filled cow farts. It’s fair to say that the climate change movement is ideologically pretty heterogeneous. The left was there in the usual sort of numbers that one would expect but the SWP’s profile was lower than it has ever been at a national demonstration due to the clash with the one day Marxism event. The Green Party had a good profile and the new issue of Respect’s paper was on sale.
