Denver Cancels Saturday's Global Warming March After Storm Dumps Foot of Snow
While Leonardo DiCaprio was marching around in Washington, D.C., at a
global warming event on Saturday (he no doubt flew in on his private plane,
burning fossil fuels and murdering the environment along the way), protesters
in Denver couldn't join in the fun.

Twitter, of course, had a field day.

Climate changers say that humans have altered the climate -- and it's not just
warming. First they said climate change will cause more hurricanes, but when
those dropped off to just a few a year, they said climate change could also make hurricanes less frequent. Plus, climate change means -- to them, anyway -- that
snow could fall in late April.

“We will be doing an Aerial Image,” event planners wrote on the protest
website. “A section of that will include a ‘die in’, where people wearing black
will lay on the ground as if they are dead. We expect the visual effect to be
stunning. If you’re comfortable participating, please wear all black to the event.”
