THEY LIKE WARMTH
Dismal numbers at a global warming rally in Missouri:
About 80 people attended a chilly rally that Climate Change Coalition organizers hoped would draw 500.
This protest against global warming would have been more successful if the weather had been warmer. Hmm.
Here’s the positive spin: they expected 500, and 80 turned up. Harmful emissions reduced by almost 85%. Goal achieved!

If the amount is under 100 according to your eye, multiply the amount by 1000. If the amount is between 100 and 1000, multiply the amount by 900. If the amount is between 1000 and 10000, just make up a number. This rule applies from 10,000 onwards.
FWIW, here in the California hinterlands (the high desert northeast of LA), we had the coldest January in more than 30 years: at one point, more than a week of 10°F (-12°C) temperatures; dead or seriously damaged palm trees everywhere you look…

I think it has become abundantly clear that the Left, in all its flavors, is impervious to irony.

But frankly, I think “global climate change” has just about run its course on the interestometer. It’s being flogged constantly everywhere you turn to the point of sheer annoyance.
It wasn’t just anywhere in Missouri. It was at the University of Missouri - Columbia. We’re talking about a bastion of liberal thought, at least for Missouri.
If you can’t attract 500 protesters at a university, where can you get them?

Hey, fire that reporter! Don’t you know you’re supposed to publish their crowd estimates? “Organizers estimated the crowd at over 10,000…”
