Dr. Cindy Parker is mistaken if she really believes that "global warming is a health issue. Warmth and temperance in weather terms accounts for good health and less compromised patient base with terminal or chronic illnesses. I know that in every locale I have lived in, deaths because of the weather were elevated more in winter than summer. In fact, I found that many of my clients in AZ moved there to have the more temperate climate even if having to brave the summer heat because it was so hard to get warm in winter but a cool bath or a fan could cool in summer. Please end the hystronics and lets discuss the cycling of weather in a real time appropriate and historically correct way. Remember, Greenland was named that for its beautiful green valley and its lush flora (National Geographic' IMAX movie-"The Vikings")

Hey, this is great news for people living outside of Maryland. They'll pass these Draconian measures forcing businesses to flee the state making those jobs available elsewhere.

Thanks, Maryland!

...idiots...

Let's see...if the climate doesn't change, we're al goners. Yet they are holding signs demanding to "Help Stop Climate Change". Where are the global warming signs on this snowy day?

Betcha $10 that most of those protesters have jobs and or money tied to global warming in some way shape or form.

It's all about the money.

The consensus has spoken! The world is flat and is coming to an end! Beware Maryland! More filth then China! More filth than India. It’s Maryland that is to blame! The 7 of us have a consensus. 6 to 1 Maryland will end the world as we know it! Vote Democratic to save the world from Maryland!! Dopey thinks we are wrong! He said Maryland climate change is natural! The Dope!

I wonder what caused the last 5 ice ages? Cars, factories, or elevated sun activity. Idiots.

Popular misconception is that heat is in our collective future. Maybe in the Southern Hemisphere. Not in the Northern.

In August, 2006, I gave a power-point-presentation at the Veterans For Peace National Convention titled, "A World of Hurt or Hope: The National Security Implications of Global warming/ Abrupt Climate Change.

Global Warming Huh !!!

You FOLX r a joke....

Randy in Big "D"

I see the brain dead in Mary 'had a little lamb' land use the same argument. If they can't come up with something legit they revert to 'it's for the children'. What a bunch of nuts and the leaders of the nuts are in politics.

Someday, many years from now, the current "global warming" hysteria will be recognized for the fraud that it is.

These folks look really brain dead...biggest scam on the planet propped up by politicians looking for YOUR money. Reminds me of Nick Berg. Nick was a peacenick who felt we, the USA misjudged the terrorists..lol...until the brutally sawed his head off on tv!!! Wake up you guys are these politicians rubes...I hope you didnt freeze your butts off toomuch during your global warming protest...you were probably wishing for a little global warmin in that weather...which is exactly what most of us would like anyway...a bit warmer temperatures...LOL!

Haha, shows how brainwashed these people really are. Hope they freeze their "New Age" butts off.

comment? why bother... the buffoons have the floor to themselves.

Maybe these nuts should all kill themselves. Just imagine all the carbon dioxide that would not be created. Please do that so we can all be saved from this horrible fate

Global warming causes snow storms.
And hemorrhoids.

Morons and twits are not exclusively in The Congress and The White House. They obviously reside in maryland too, pandering the GW hoax.

Hmmm, let's see here: first "global warming" conference canceled because of a blizzard, second conference held during a snowstorm, and now this.

Is anyone else getting a subtle hint here?

400?? That's it? Why bother?

These ignorant WARM EARTHERS are hysterical nuts. 300 years ago they'd have been sacrificing some poor schlub or burning some poor woman as a witch to appease the "weather Gods" when their crops failed.

Sure, we've had climate for 4 billion years before mankind arrived on earth; and it's been exactly the same all that time till, we mucked it up by expelling out carbon dioxide every time we breathe. When are these quasi-socialists and Stalinists going to be honest about what they want. State control over everything. Higher taxes for everyone. And returning to the good old days when the average life expectancy was 30 years old.

Ok- so maybe the SUN is warming earth like it has a hundred times in perpetual flux since theplanet formed, but long before man came along.Now we have the real threat: morons trying to usurp freedom and power from us with a scare tactic- and it is working on the tiny brained panic first class of fools. But it is not working on free happy Americans, thank god.. nor a lot of oflks around the world. You morons- you want to panic about something? well, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE, if we do not win against fanatical stone aged murder cultists of islam. THAT is a real, present, immediat threat you idiots. Vote American, not democrat!!!

Global warming activists who know nothing and believe only what they are told. Global Warming is a religion because people believe in it when there is no PROOF and while there is REAL proof and common logic against it! They don't listen to the scientists who have proved global warming to be a hoax. Also, if the world is "warming" then why the heck is it all cold and snowing? Purely stupid. They have no life and want to take the rest of our freedoms away for there religion!

It's going to be below zero most of the weekend. Come here to Minnesota and protest.

We will thaw the bodies in the spring.

G

Of course, if it weren't for Global Warming it wouldn't be so brutally cold or snowing so hard. Everyone knows that!

When these Einsteins have to wear 3000 sunblock this time of year, maybe then I'll consider enacting Global Socialism, er, Global Warming legislation.

brainwashed

A HOAX!!!

These arrogant environmentalists probably think they are the first to try to "change" the climate, but this is nothing new. Primitive man blamed changes in the weather and enviroment that he couldn't understand on not giving enough offerings to his gods (Oh, that volcano just has to be our fault!). Medieval man blamed the same climate changes on his own sinfulness (God is punishing us with this drought!). So modern environmentalist man blames his own pollution for the supposed wrath of Mother Earth. Scratch a modern man, and you'll find the superstitious primitive right underneath the surface wanting to feel in control of nature by blaming himself for any changes he can't understand. The comforting illusion being (just like with our ancestors) that if we are to blame for the problem, then we can fix it. The last thing these people want to hear is the truth that climate change is the result of cycles in the Sun's output of solar energy and wobbles in the Earth's rotation (that's why there has been a long cycling of warming trends punctuated by ice ages). They have no control over that, and it really scares them! But instead of trying to stop climate change (which we can't), the wise thing to do is put our efforts into adapting to it. Because it's going to happen whether we like it or not, as it has over and over for as long as this planet has been around.

I don't understand these "ironic" headlines about global warming protests on a snowy day. Cold weather isn't proof that global warming doesn't exist. Global warming isn't about the weather on a particular day. It's about gradual (and subtle) climate change.

Drat!!
I thought...finally...people have wised up and are protesting this hoax called global warming. Silly me.

These people are another bunch of kookie "progressives" that think that government can change the environment. They probably believe that government can fix health care, lower the price of fuel, eliminate poverty, pay for their retirement, take care of their children and get everybody a job, except for them. Why? Because then they would not have any time to travel around and demonstrate against the "cause de jour!"

O.M.G.!!! ALERT!! ALERT!! We must all now go to all volcanos around the world that are in the process of erupting and put a cork in them, for just one major eruption kicks out more carbon and poisonous emissions than all the manmade pollution & carbon emissions accumulated in our lifetimes...give me a break!!! Lets send these boneheads as volunteers!

This is PERFECT!

Love the irony.

Mental Health experts estimate that conservatively speaking (forgive the right wing connotation) that 10% (I think this is really low-balling it) of the population suffers from some type of mental illness. So 400 nutcakes found one another................. protesting global warming in a snow storm. Pretty much says it all.........................

Naysayers always seem quick to jump on global warming when they see a big snow storm. Our weather is definitely out of whack. A week ago in Maryland it was 70 degrees - one of the hottest January days on record.

There is much going on that they choose to be blind to, they don't seem to care that this world is on loan from our children.

this whole issue keeps getting defunked on a daily basis. Do any of these people have a brain? I guess not! Seems that all they want is more taxes and for the economy to stop so they cant work any longer, pay their bills, and eat.

And thus you bear witness to the dumbest generation known to mankind. The most advanced generation and the most ignorant.

R.I.P. Common Sense, we have the experts now.

Freezing, covered with the snow while the fools are out there protesting global warming. That is what you call the CULMINATION OF STUPIDITY. The founder of the weather channel has said that global warming is a scam, a political tool. Trust me, Al Gore knows it, and he is by a fireplace laughing at those idiots.

How funny. They look so cold and stupid. I respect their commitment to idiocy

Does anyone else see the irony of a Global Warming protest during a freezing snow storm? By the way, Humans emit CO2, a greenhouse gas, are we to be limited too?

The whole agenda behind blaming ourselves for the eventual destruction of the planet is so far fetched, it frankly borders on science fiction in my mind. While I agree there could be natural warming occurring in places like the Arctic, it is in fact cooling in Antarctica. Greenland received the name from the Vikings, not because it was white, but because it was green.

Natural global climate change has taken place since weather existed and certainly long before man's industrialization. Carbon dioxide is what we all exhale as humans and is a natural part of the planet's makeup. All plant life NEEDS carbon dioxide to survive so it can produce additional life supporting oxygen. So, with that in mind, should we assume that man made global warming advocates want some, or eventually ALL of us all to stop breathing to save the planet?

Assuming we DID have the ability to destroy the planet, then we certainly should have the ability to control the weather and stop these recent horrific snowstorms and deadly record cold temperatures, not to mention the deadly tornadoes that raced through Florida a few weeks ago, shouldn't we? Of course we certainly do not, and never will have the ability to control the weather or destroy the planet earth.

What I DO agree with is that we most certainly have the ability to destroy ourselves. Even in unfortunate event of a worldwide nuclear holocaust, surely man and most every living thing would perish but the planet itself would not. It would survive and in time thrive at some
point in the future. In my mind the REAL threat to all of us today has nothing to do with natural causes. It is the very real, very dangerous threat of Islamo-Facism terrorism. It has already changed the face of Europe and many other parts of the world and if allowed to go unchecked, it will certainly destroy life as we know it as a free, God faring people and a LOT sooner than any perceived man-made global warming.

Unfortunately, most of the main stream media outlets have a very biased agenda supporting the notion of man made global warming but for the life of me and to what end, I'll never understand. I do know that a lot of it has to do with money, money that will continue to go toward supporting anti-American, anti-capitalist movements around the world.

I'll get off my pedestal now, but I encourage you to read the following
Senate report that is one of many that challenges the whole
notion of man made global warming.

http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=f80a6386-802a-23ad-40c8-3c63dc2d02cb

Just goes to show you what just a little "brain washing" can do. In SC where I live the record high was 73 today...back in 1943! Hmmmm. Might be normal to have temperatures go up and down over time...just like the hole in the ozone lawyer expands and contracts naturally.

Oh, and what is Al Gore's involvement in a "cap and trade" system?

Who's John Galt?

To whomever may think,

Personal greed once again triumphs over the facts. Satellite data fails to confirm a global warming disaster and despite freezing temperatures the factually challenged demand costly government controls on average citizens to combat a problem they cannot even prove exists. Al Gore and his buddies at Occidental Petroleum would benefit from this cap-and-trade or scam. Gore after all would be slated to run the program (convenient and profitable). Potential rivals would be driven from the market and prices would rise. Gore wanted $10 per gallon gasoline in his book "Earth in The Balance." It looks like the rationally challenged American citizenry just might give it to him.

Increase the taxes, increase the fees, increase regulation, increase energy. Yeah, this is going to help Maryland's economy. Morons.

Dingbats ! You have my deepest sympathy . California, New York, and Massachusetts are consistently losing population, and jobs, you're next .

WAKE UP!!!GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone else getting the hint that "man-made" global warming is a hoax? there haven't been two straight years with the exact same weather patterns. there never has been an "average" year. Whatever is going on is one of the many cycles Earth goes through. Get over it. Instead of standing out in the snow protesting global warming (do you see the cruel irony of what you are doing, demonstrators?), why don't you go to school or join the work force?

Man made global Warming is such a Scam....Fear Mongels

Most people don't realize that global warming actually causes colder, and more brutal winters, as seasonal changes in the ocean temperature are more drastic than they are without the warming. The bitter cold and snow we're seeing is a direct result of the climate change.

As we freeze here in New England, we muse that those poor cold souls in the photo are part of the great unwashed, ponty-tailed men, hairy legged women, Birkenstocks abound, no-so hot teeth, reliving the glory days of the 1960's when they were actually relevant....
It's cold out, my old hippy dippy friends....get inside, sip some hot cocoa, take a hot shower (this time, use that washcloth!), and watch NPR - you'll feel better! Afterall, what better way to hear some good old Bush-Bash impeachment programming!

Global Warming----just another way to spell IDIOT!

I'm Lovin It"

They will cut the Gorebal Warming gasses by their targets because businesses will leave their state...

The idea here is to make the entire country uncompetitive while allowing communist countries like China pollute like mad. Look at all the money we send them as it is. Our country is being defeated from the inside out.

Google 1963 communist goals.

How typical of Maryland's poloticians, and the dumed down youth of today to fall for the Global Warming scare.

There is no reputible science that point the finge at mankind, the most likely culprit being that damned Sun of ours. Imagine that?

Put more restraints on business, couple that with the B.S. tax hikes from the liberal Maryland Democrats, and pretty soon you won't have any money to worry about.

"They" just don't get it, and sadly never will. Piss on all of them!

Is this a joke? Don't these clowns have jobs or anything else to do? Perhaps they're schoolteachers or some other type of government payroll hacks with a paid conference or diversity studies day.

If this isn't a gag and these miscreants are actually staging a real protest against so-called “climate change”, then they’re not only arrogant but are genuinely stupid.

Fools who believe this global warming obvious hoax are nothing more than dupes and useful idiots for the international leftist intrigue. They should be humiliated by their own actions proving themselves to be flagrantly naive in supporting the forces of global fascism.

The new Romney Administration will no doubt set to work putting this once great nation back on track again. Among the first efforts will hopefully be to strengthen the United States of America as an independent and sovereign nation once more. The endeavor should include lands and territorial waters re-opened for renewed petroleum exploration and drilling. Construction of refineries and production facilities for gasoline, bio-diesel, hydrogen fuel and other energy sources. A national building program for modern nuclear power and state of the art coal fired plants. The nation runs on electricity and we need more to grow and enhance the quality of life for the people.

Fact is, there is no climate emergency except perhaps within the squirming brains of regressive liberals. Might endeavor to gather some independent information and then try to reach a conclusion on your own instead of following the horde of official stooges. They call this process, “thinking” and sometimes it actually can be fun. In the meantime, I saw a bumper sticker last week that was pretty good. It said, . LIBERALS ARE HERD ANIMALS.

Without the old religions something must take their place. No amount of reality will shake the true believers. Truth is global warming would be good. Global cooling would kill BILLIONS. Not even cooling, just ice. Ice ages are not caused by colder weather, but by more precipitation. Once the snow makes it through the summer in even the smallest patches, it is almost unstoppable.

Environmentalists are a bigger threat than Global Warming!

Congratulations to Maryland for demonstrating that actual science is never an impediment when making policy. AlBore's junk-science religion still has a death grip on America, despite having been proven to be an egregious myth.

Maryland is already infamous as a hotbed of liberal lunacy. This just affirms that its reputation is merited.

As much as they want to go back to the Ice Age, I don't think it can happen, atleast not for a long time. And as much as keeping the water/air clean is important, you can't ask somebody to do the same thing and use only 20% of the energy they normally use. There's a certain logic missing here.

Why would I keep my business in Maryland when it'd be cheaper to just move than to comply with these regulations? When everyone leaves the uncompetitive environment who will you tax to pay for the socialism?

The lemmings are on the march.
Human caused global warming is a HOAX.
L.

For all the people coming from the Drudge Report... you do realize it is "climate change" and not "global warming", right? So the irony of a snowfall during a "global warming" protest is a bit lost.

and even still. who wants to breath in pollution and smog?

"Barve said the snow was a good sign,"at least we have weather appropriate for winter time,finally" Barve, who is 1,200,000 years old is the final arbiter of what the real weather should be.....You are scary, scary people

Didn’t anyone tell the folks in the snow – global warming ended in 2000.

You can’t have global warming if the global temperature hasn’t increased in 7 years – it’s over for this cycle. We all know that everything in nature is cyclical so should we now be worrying about global cooling and the need to pump more C02 into the atmosphere?

Yes it's now called climate change. We used to call it seasons. Spring, summer, fall, winter, spring, summer, fall, winter, spring,......See the pattern, four times per year you have the opportunity to scream about climate change. Personally, I'm looking forward to the global warming (spring), it's been in the teens and twenties for so long I was starting to believe we were in an Ice Age. Thankfully, the earths orbit is returning to a closer proximity to the sun and warming will magically occur over the next few months.

The Southern hemisphere has record breaking cold weather and it does not phase them? The winter of 85 broke all time lows for the SE U.S. and it does not phase them? 99% of CO2 is nature made and it does not phase them? With no CO2 all life on earth would die and they think CO2 is a pollutant!!! This is what happens when you smoke a bowl every day! Everybody ""WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE, IMMUNE FROM REALITY, HUGGING A BIG TREE"

Just to echo Dwight, thanks Maryland and the other blue states. The more regulations and taxes you pass the more businesses and jobs come my way.

They won't be happy until all businesses (and jobs) have moved out of the country. They don't comprehend their knee-jerk reactions to climate change. When most businesses (jobs) have gone to China, they'll then turn their attack on homeowners who use gas or oil to heat their homes. Standby and watch. That big sucking sound is blue collar jobs leaving the U.S.

Of course we realize it's "climate change"! We also realize there is nothing new to this. The climate always changes! Trying to keep it constant is what is unnatural and dangerous. But capping CO2 is a knee-jerk reaction to "global-warming". So the irony is still there.

indeed verrrry uplifting,emotions going up to the celling ,the good part is this folks are doing a good workout even dough the cause is not very credible .

"For all the people coming from the Drudge Report... you do realize it is 'climate change' and not 'global warming', right?"

Yeah, that's why whenever there's an unusually warm day in January, nobody freaks out that "climate change" is going to kill us all.

The inept Democrats (redundant) of Maryland better hurry up and pass their ‘Climate-change’ legislation before their population freezes to death.

…and If Tom Pelton’s 5th grade writing skills are any indication of his knowledge of ANY subject, we know he has no clue about bogus weather reports about conditions 100-years from now - - AND, that the standards of baltimoresun.com are unquestionably the lowest in the United States.

"Who's John Galt?"

He's the guy down at the railroad station.

Global warming proponents are just the useful idiots for the snake oil salesmen of the decade.

The general public is never content unless they have some crisis to worry about. An intelligent climate doomsdayer with any foresight should begin crisis front running with warnings of global cooling. They may call you crazy right now, but in time, you'll be considered a climate guru. This cycle is peaking and should begin reversing sometime within the next ten years. The hysteria has already played out, and hundreds of scientists are finally coming out of the woodwork condemning it. Sell global warming. . . . buy global cooling.

I love how the author "qualifies" the flood of comments as coming from "Drudge readers", as if we are all crazy conservative nuts who want to kill the planet.

The Drudge Report rarely posts its own articles, simply linking to various articles from other news agencies (such as your own article!). There is no bias in articles chosen; I have seen the whole gamut of articles from all points of view linked on Drudge Report. If there happen to be a plethora of articles about a lack of warming over the past couple years... maybe you should wake up and re-evaluate your assumptions.

And to Matt LeBlanc, nice try but you just look like an idiot. "Climate change" most certainly means "global warming caused by humans" to Al Gore and family. They certainly aren't saying carbon emissions are cooling the atmosphere (although I wouldn't be surprised to see a shift to that in a few years if things don't start heating up...). As for the whole issue of abrupt climate change (those trying to blame any and every sort of natural weather phenomena on global warming) this is even more fiction than the whole concept of anthropogenic global warming, which is saying something.

Where's the evidence for any of this? No one can come forth with any kind of real evidence for ANY of it. If you think Al Gore's movie is evidence, well, let's just say you need to look up the definitions of gullible and pseudoscience.

It is hilarious to see these uninformed liberals try to patronize and belittle any skeptic of anthropogenic climate change when not only are the vast majority of them not even close to being scientists, but they most likely haven't even read a real scientific study by these supposed "genius" scientists who invented the global warming propaganda machine. I've read everything I can find on the subject and haven't seen a damn thing that comes close to linking humans to any kind of significant climate change!

Furthermore, you should be happy Drudge linked to this article. At least you'll get thousands of times more visitors than otherwise... or do you not want people scrutinizing your work?

hey Mike - Who is John Galt?

He's the man of immense scientific ability who set out to stop the engine of the world - and did.

That engine is a man's mind. His right to live for no other man's agenda - life as defined by using the power of his mind and enjoying its product.

These anti-industrialists have been carried out of poverty on the coattails of the men of science since the industrial revolution. Now they wish to turn the tide back to barbarianism and emotion. First they designed a future. They're clever to twist science as their means to their end. They fall back on duty to God. or Children. or brothers. The 3rd world would love skipping 300 years of achievement via our 'clean energy transfer' to them.

This man-made global warming movement is the most convenient organisation to seize the throat of all of man's activities and achievements, because they know what they can cripple if they control CO2. They will call it 'market-style' regulation, when in reality the productive man will support the others and who will again be taxed for doing so. The 'stick and carrot' is one tool: a thug's gun. They only have power if you assume their guilt. Make them fight for it and we'll see who's the evil on this earth.

"Global Warming's" not working so you come up with "Climate Change" so that any type of storm can be blamed on CO2.

Anyway, you impose these regulations on your business' and you will have less business' when they move to another state.

Another thing, polution here is nothing compated to other countries. I've been to Korea and almost threw up from the polution they had while burning rice (smelled like burning feces).

Stop with this ignorant agenda. You are costing people too much money. Except Algore who is making a killing with this bulls***.

"Global Warming" is an effect of the GLOBAL average. It doesn't imply that all temperatures everywhere are going to go up.

The rapid melting of the Arctic ice-pack, and now the Antarctic ice-shelf, and the overall retreat of the glaciers worldwide, are a much truer picture of what is going on than a few hotspots and coldspots.

The science is, unfortunately, pretty clear. With the amount of carbon-dioxide humanity is producing and releasing into the atmosphere, it would be surprising if GW were NOT happening.

I am in Iowa, where there have been three known glaciers. Unfortunately those wooly mammoth farts caused "Climate Change" and melted the glaciers thus allowing stupid liberals to move here. Geez just admit you fell for a hoax and figure out some other way to tax the world into equal poverty.

STOP SEASONAL CHANGE NOW!

SPRING WARMING IS IMPENDING!

[Sacrifice to Gaia and High Purple Priest Algore]

anyone got some gum?

There is no great deaf person that he who doesn't want to hear. Obviously these people live for being lied to by Al "the man with a beige soul" Gore and have become as crazy as some lunatic cult ideologue, religionists. OH, let me stop thinking cause someone else can do it for me!

The Great Global Warming Hoax- do these people believe the hoax or do they get paid just to protest? The facts are what people should be making their reasoning on not hipe from a want to be President Al Gore.
Oh! yea "don't do as I do do as I say" sounds like another Hitler. The facts are so weighted that it is NOT man made and these so called educated idiots need to take some heat transfer classes. CO2 is not the problem at 3% by the way plants need it but water vapor is the biggest green house gas @ 80% to 90%. Let get rid of water and see how you idiots can survive. Instead of protesting get an education and quit believing all the crap you here on TV, do your own investigating in the truth.

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone thinks that snow in winter in the northern hemisphere somehow undermines the credibility or validity of a demonstration about global warming (more aptly "climate change"). On the other hand, the validity of concerns about climate change probably get lost in the simple irony. Perhaps a more suitable -- albeit wordier -- term like "global meteorological extremes" would be more suitable.

While I am willing to agree that climate change occurs naturally (i.e., in the absence or in spite of human impact), it is profoundly STUPID to think that humans have no significant impact on the environment or the climate.

Clearly we cannot actually prevent change, as change is inevitable, whatever the cause. On the other hand, perhaps we can help to manage those changes considering the impact the more dramatic potential changes could have.
A 20 rise in sea level would be the end of much of South Florida, and perhaps some would say that that is no bad thing. I suspect the people of South Florida might see it differently. More importantly, the danger extends well beyond South Florida.

About 30 years ago, a "consensus" of climate experts feared global cooling because the temperature had gone down so dramatically in the 1970's. One recommendation was to darken Greenland in order to absorb more of the sun's heat and MELT the ice cap! It was going to save the world. Now we have to stop the melting ice cap - to save the world. Please save the world from the climatologists.

The sky is falling.
Anyone know what type of SUV the dinosours drove? The sky is falling. A nordic reindeer farts more methane than my Toyota Tundra! The sky is falling.

The morons in my state never cease to amaze me. It's almost like they want to create a Michigan-esque one-state recession by driving all the jobs out of the state. These people are extremists. They are like jihadists in this religion they've embraced on the faith they call "scientific 'consensus.'" When all is said and done, we are going to be living under the despotism of environmentalism and the truly fascist policies that are presented to the American people as being for a cause that is beyond reproach. ...Insallah, right?

Come on Global warming, I want to be able to ride my motorcycle in the winter and spew more CO2 in the air so it will get even warmer :)

Darrin- "Our world is on loan from our children" ??? - give me a break. I'm paying my way pal and I'm also paying the way of nut jobs eating from the public trough. As soon as the billionaire politicians, movie stars, and Phd college know-it-alls start signing over their wealth and influence to the cause, I'll step up to the plate too. Right now, I gotta get to work so that I can repay my "loan to my children". How pathetic.

Matt, the climate is always changing. If you don't know in which direction or know why, how will pathetic Maryland change anything. Climate is a much bigger than puny men. Stop thinking man is so important!

To the idiot (Matt LeBlanc) who stated, "For all the people coming from the Drudge Report... you do realize it is "climate change" and not "global warming", right? So the irony of a snowfall during a "global warming" protest is a bit lost."

So am I to believe that those "climate change" people were protesting against global cooling?!?!?

And why stop at 90% emisions reduction? Why not 100%? After all, that's only 10% more.... Oh, and by the way, since all you people over there exhale CO2 with each breath, you all need to stop breathing as well....

Unbelieveable idiodicy...

Notice they have dropped the "Global Warming" to "Climate Change", what a crock, a sneaky way of leveling the world playing field, their signs should say, " Down with the U.S.".

Please pray for me- I have to live in this stupid state.

They are trying to destroy the Maryland economy. Not only are they trying to get this passed, they just passed the largest tax increase in the state's history. I guess they want everyone to leave the state and go somewhere else.

Kumar Barve, hmmm, shouldn't he be headed to trial soon for his drunk driving arrest?
The only warming he's concerned about is the warm feeling that fills him at the bar.

Funny how the paper felt the need to disparage the people commenting here by saying that most of them are "Drudge" readers as if that is bad. They can't handle the fact that people might disagree with them and so they don't stop to listen and think about it, but rather continue to follow the pied piper like the mindless drones that they are.....In the 70's they taught about the looming ice-age, now they teach about looming global warming crisis..........WAKE UP MORONS! The weather has been co-opted by politicians whose only concern is their own power, when it should be protecting & serving America.....stop voting these wackos into office and the world will be a much better place...

A demonstration/protest about climate change in a snow storm. hmmmmm. Only in America, really. The chinese, russians, asians and etc. are probably laughing silly at these people, thus producing more carbon dioxide. The demonstration is having the opposite effect. :-)

I love how lawmakers listen to 400 people but when thousands of people crash the phone system @ the US capitol over an amnesty bill we don't know what we're talking about! I just moved here and already I am thinking of leaving! Thank you Martin (IDIOT!)

Another reason I am glad I recently moved from the great Socialist State of Maryland! The sad part is, a large portion of the state (geographically) has common sense. The statewide elections are determined by Baltimore city, and PG county. Oh well, not my problem anymore.

"(Note to readers: this story was featured on the Drudge Report soon after it went online this evening, and so many of the comments you'll see below are from Drudge readers)."

What the hell does this mean? Are you implying that ignorant right leaning Drudge readers are not as informed or caring as the morons in the Maryland Government or the average citizen of Maryland? GW is a hoax! It doesn't matter if someone in Minnesota, Ohio, Arizona or the guys on Mars, which is also experiencing global warming, says it.

It's the sun STUPID!

Satire is no longer possible. It's dead.

"...For all the people coming from the Drudge Report... you do realize it is "climate change" and not "global warming", right?..."

Oh, I get it now. When it's hot you call it "global warming", and when it's cold you call it "climate change", and you can't call it "global cooling" because that's what you called it in the `70's. Forgive me, it took a while to learn your liberal newspeak.

Now if you could just tell me which "scientists" to believe: the ones that say GW (oops, I mean CC) can be fixed, or the ones that say it's too late?

Scientist has claimed that North America was once coved in lush tropical type forests. There is evidence of this in the deserts of the southwest. They have also claimed that North America experienced an ice age. Now, I'm all for taking care of the environment use only the natural resource that we need, clean air, clean water, don’t litter, don’t pollute and so on. I also feel that we should be looking for alternative fuels. But I don’t feel that man has created “GLOBAL WARMING”. This earth has been around for a long time, it will do what it wants to do. There is so much that we don’t know about its creation and history. Why are there those that feel they know so much about it? For those that were around in the 70’s, we where supposed to be going through “GLOBAL FREEZING” then. Once again, this earth will do what it wants to. If you will remember, last year the “GLOBAL WARMING” conference was canceled last year in Washington D.C. due to cold icy weather!!!!!!

If meat is murder then plants are people too; so let's starve ourselves to death and become fertilizer for our friends!

Does anyone remember the 'Global Cooling' hysteria of the 1970's? We had it pushed on us with the same enthusiasm as these guys. Sorry tree-huggers, I fell for a myth once, and won't fall for one again!

I have a dream - that these hippies would freeze and never be heard from again.

i think it's both funny and telling that the paper makes sure to tell one and all that many of the comments come from Drudge people. well do not worry baltimore sun, after this story goes away you can go back to being a paper that almost noone reads and continue to go out of business!
