As Hurricane Sandy Approches, Protestors In Times Square Call To ‘End Climate Silence’

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/29/1103791/hurricane-sandy-protestors/

Dozens of protestors gathered in New York City’s Times Square last night to bring awareness to the role of climate change as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast. “END CLIMATE SILENCE” their sign read, with a picture of a hurricane underneath. As ThinkProgress documented on Friday, major newspapers have completely ignored the link between the hurricane and climate change. You can read more about how climate change has aided major natural disasters like Sandy here.

I sort of like considering Florida as expendable. If the people in Florida don't care, why should I.

There is already noticeable sea level rise in Delaware and Maryland (w/o Sandy).

When I look at the picture, it looks like people are streaming away from the central sign kind of like the cloud bands around a hurricane. Probably not, but it's what I see.
