The problem is that truly making a difference in Co2 emissions requires some sacrifices on the part of people and corporations. Sacrifice is not popular even if it is necessary. Traditional market forces will not work in reducing Co2 emissions, governments must step in.

Quite possible the biggest climate march in history was held today in NYC! But what they are protesting for (policy changes to offset climate change), is all a farce! :lamo[/FONT][/COLOR]
Well then, since government itself is a rather large consumer group, let them lead by example. Let them require all government employees and elected officials make those sacrifices.
If five thousand people show up for a Tea Party rally, it's National News on every network! But one wonders if Fox News even happened to take notice that 300K people marched about climate change....

Good point.Dunno, why don't you watch FoxNews for us and tell us.
Maybe this would be better news if liberal organizations didn't use hundreds of buses to bring people in.
All of us must make those sacrifices together. How are Govt. employees going to wean us off coal fired electricity? That must be done if we are to be serious at all. coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel in more ways than just Co2 production. Tar sands are a close second.
Yeah, conservative organizations never, EVER did that, did they? And btw, have you got some proof that there was some large, coordinated effort to bus people in? Or is it simply beyond the possibility that in a city of 8 million people - where most people use public transportation anyway - that 300K of them just might have used public transportation to get there?
That is not the point. The Earth's climate is constantly changing, it does not remain static. The Earth has been covered in molten rock, and it has been covered in ice. Is it still warming, or cooling now? Do we have the power to change the planet's climate? I think not. So self important...

and more than 550 buses carried in people from around the country.

I see nothing inherently wrong with this. I do believe global warming is a thing, but that does not mean that the government should do anything. If these people stopped petitioning the Government to step in and regulate and appeal straight to the companies that they believe are ruining the environment, this could be fought much more effectively. The US government can only do so much. If, on the other hand, people work together to force the hand of large corporations by using market forces, then this issue could be solved much more efficiently.
Hmm... Are you saying there's no evidence that the world's climate is warming?

Are these people protesting natural climate change warming or alleged man made climate change warming?
I asked you if the world's climate is warming. I didn't ask for a posturing display of arguments against what someone else said some other time.
Is climate warming real?
