BIG DEAL, RUTGERS DREW FORTY THOUSAND FANS.

It's always amusing the way the self-styled progressives try to conceal their ad popularum fallacies.

As diplomats from wealthy countries continue to say "blah, blah, blah" at COP26, over 100,000 people growing increasingly impatient with empty promises and inaction marched through Glasgow on Saturday, with thousands more hitting the streets in cities around the world during roughly 300 simultaneous demonstrations on a Global Day of Action for Climate Justice.

"Many thousands of people took to the streets today on every continent demanding that governments move from climate inaction to climate justice," Asad Rehman, a spokesperson for the COP26 Coalition, said in a statement. "We won't tolerate warm words and long-term targets anymore, we want action now."

I suspect there was more action in the Rutgers offense, which at least managed a field goal.  Elsewhere around the country, there were legions of college football fans in stadia who might view all the environmental activism, whether by the Davoisie or by the environmentalist wackos, as so much blah-blau-blah.

Nowhere in the lengthy report do I see any acknowledgement that the participants in these tailgate parties for people who fancy themselves politically aware were gathering, unmasked, in congregate settings.  Perhaps they understand that calling college football games "superspreader events" is political theater without scientific basis, and they don't even need the kind of Righteousness Pass that was being issued by the public health officials a year ago.
