Climate protestors descended upon Manhattan on Sunday to vent their frustrations about a world they don’t understand. On display at the People’s Climate March were ideology and idealism conspiring at the expense of common sense.

Reason Magazine’s Kmele Foster asked participants what they wanted and gleaned some amusing results.Their ideas included “building a movement for national revolution and…a new socialist society,” and for “everybody (to) turn everything off.” Confronted with questions about the disproportionate burden that expensive renewable energy places on the poor, they had no good answers. All they seem certain of was that they are on the side of the angels.
