Capitalists for global warming declare ‘Bring on the endless summer’

Ice is only good for martinis? Bring on the endless summer? Buy a boat, loser?

These were just a few of the catch phrases that the ‘capitalists for global warming’ were chanting at last weekend’s global warming rally at Cottesloe Beach.

Clearly, these ‘capitalists’ were green activists in disguise, but surprisingly not many people caught onto this fact.

At one stage, several green organisations stood in front of these very vocal capitalists (who were chanting ‘Uranium! Uranium!’ during the speeches) with their banners. Others yelled abuse and/or looked clearly disgusted by these capitalists.

All in all I thought the ‘capitalists’ were a clever touch to the rally, highlighting the fact that business as usual is still the norm here in Australia with mining rapidly expanding and plane flights increasing.
