Supporters Tout NYC Climate Change March as Biggest in History

An estimated 310,000 people flooded (sigh) the streets of New York City Sunday for the People’s Climate March — a number that supporters said made it the largest march of its kind in history.

Sympathetic accounts tweeted out some pictures capturing the enormity of the march as it wound down the side of Central Park and into Midtown, which is crazy as it’s a proven true fact that there’s nothing of worth above Fourteenth Street:

Of course, Isaac Newton — A SCIENTIST — said every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Conservative Twitter did its petulant best to counter the march, noting that the strongly anti-corporatist marchers met at Starbucks, used iPhones despite Apple’s questionable environmental record, etc.:

Wonder how much extra pollution is being spewed into the air thanks to rows & rows of cars backed up endlessly thanks to the Climate March.
