Wash Post excertp: Three climate protesters were arrested after blocking traffic on the George Washington Memorial Parkway in the area of the scenic overlooks Wednesday morning during a demonstration demanding that President Biden declare a climate emergency. The protesters blocked the northbound lanes for about 30 minutes before they were cleared by 9:15 a.m., said Sgt. Thomas Twiname, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police. The three demonstrators will be charged with disorderly conduct, Twiname said. Tim Martin, 54, of Raleigh, N.C., who was not among those arrested, said he traveled to the D.C. region to join Declare Emergency, a group seeking governmental action on climate change, in its demonstration Wednesday, which he said lasted about an hour. A video posted by Declare Emergency shows six people walking into the highway as cars approached. Ultimately, three protesters remained sitting on the highway as they held signs that demanded “DECLARE EMERGENCY” and “NO WILLOW PROJECT,” referring to the Alaskan oil development and the Biden administration’s approval of one of the largest oil developments on federal land.
Scouring @a22network's page of social media links for @DecEmergency output, no sign of this clip the @washingtonpost attributes to staffer @Jackson_Brton. Jackson, if yours, were you randomly visiting the @NationalGallery or alerted ahead of time? Seems a fine line between… pic.twitter.com/nFaVW50Lwg

Around 11 am today two parents who are terrified about their children’s’ futures (as well as all children) made a statement at the National Gallery in DC. Climate change will cause famine, floods, droughts and destruction unless we act now. #DecEmergency #ActOnClimate pic.twitter.com/ClM7fBOiPj

Will Regan was detained, as well, but he's out now!
'Party to criminal damage', barred from the nga for life. No criminal charges.

I never want to see you ride in a combustible powered engine, charge a cell phone or use anything other then candles to bring light to your cave. Then, I might take a look at your platform. Until you go that, GFY!

Morano: “This is being pushed by wealthy families and Hollywood donors. Director Adam McKay gave $4 million dollars to this van Gogh protest.” …
Morano: “At this point, Europeans are realizing not – ‘Let’s destroy some famous artwork and fight climate’. Europeans are realizing they shouldn’t have listened to Greta Thunberg — they should have instead listened to Donald Trump and his message was clear about making your own energy. They are saying that wood is more valuable than gold in Europe because people are gathering wood for the coming winter and the irony is they are praying for a warm winter. Wasn’t global warming supposed to bring warmer winters?” … “Europeans are fearing winter for the first time since the industrial revolution because their energy supplies are so low because they shut down their own energy and became more reliant on foreign sources including Vladimir Putin.”
