New York City – Actor Mark Ruffalo declared certain questions off limits to the media today at the People’s Climate March in New York City.

During the media availability press event, Ruffalo was asked in a one-on-one interview with Climate Depot if celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, who boasts that he will fly around the world to fight global warming and former VP Al Gore,  are the best spokesmen for global warming given their huge carbon footprints. (See: Leo DiCaprio: ‘The Argument Is Over. Climate Change Is Happening Now’)

“Oh brother. That is a question you shouldn’t be asking here today because that defies the spirit of what this is about,” Ruffalo told Climate Depot. The interview was conducted for the upcoming climate documentary Climate Hustle.

Ruffalo starred in the Hulk film series and has been a climate activist. See: Hulk Actor Mark Ruffalo Claims Oil Causes Typhoons: ‘What happened in the Philippines must be stopped. Fossil fuels are enemy #1 to mankind’ & Warmist Actor Mark Ruffalo: ‘We demand that the President & Congress act against Climate Change as they have acted against Saddam Husein, Bin Laden, and Hitler for that matter’

“That is a kind of a mental Jujutsu — that question. The fact of the matter is why — if they did not have any power, why are they attacking people like Leonardo DiCaprio?”

An agitated Ruffalo continued: “The fact of the matter is Leonardo DiCaprio’s voice carries farther than anyone one of those politicians,  even the President. And that is significant and he knows he has a responsibility to the people in the world to get this message out because he feels in his heart it is right.”

“Anyone who attacks Leonardo DiCaprio is either a coward or an ideologue,” he added. [Note: Audio/Video available of Ruffalo’s interview]

DiCaprio has been criticizied for his oversized lifestlye.

New York City – Socialism was praised and promoted to raucous applause by the hundreds in attendance at the People’s Climate March event on September 20, featuring organizer Bill McKibben, author Naomi Klein, socialist Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant and socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Update: Full Video of event available here.

The event, held at the Unitarian Church of All Souls, was titled “THE CLIMATE CRISIS: WHICH WAY OUT.” The event was permeated with socialist literature with the Socialist Alternative newspaper prominently on display.

Literature prevalent at the event.

When Kshama Sawant, a socialist who won a seat on the Seattle City Council, noted she was the first socialist elected in decades, the church erupted in applause.

“A socialist world that will deliver a high standard of living for all,” Sawant said to applause.

Sawant ripped the current economic system: “The market is God, everything is being sacrificed on the altar of profits,” Sawant declared.  “We must bring giant corporations into public ownership. You cannot control what you don’t own,” she added.

Senator Bernie Sanders ripped Fox News Channel: “We all know what Fox TV does not know. Climate change is real,” he said to laughter. Sanders declared the “debate is over.” “This is the planetary crisis of our time.”

“Unless we address global warming this planet will be even more unstable than it is today.” [Sanders also faced a momentary protest from the crowd for his supporting “war.” Activists unfurled a big banner in front of Sanders while he spoke.]

Climate marchers find Sen. Sanders too far to the right?!

350.org founder and march organizer McKibben called global warming the ‘greatest crisis.’ “This is the biggest problem that humans have ever been up against,” he declared.

McKibben warned of an apocalyptic future of human caused global warming. “The science of climate change is dark and hard,” he said and warned of 8 or 9 degree F [temperature rise] before the century is out.”

Climate Depot’s Morano — The Most Feared Man at the Climate March?! Receives Threatening Email & Organizers warned Morano attending march, advised ‘not to engage’

Climate Depot’s Morano is in New York City conducting interviews at the People’s Climate March for his upcoming documentary “Climate Hustle.”

On September 20, Morano received an email stating in part: ‘WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?’ ‘you stay under your rock and STFU. Now is not the time for your to be “brave” lol’ [Full reprint of the email below]

And, in a separate development, Climate activists were warned Morano and his parent organization CFACT would be attending the march. In an email sent from Philip Newell of Climate Nexus to the group lists of the People’s Climate March, organizers were warned “that representatives from climate denier group CFACT will be at the march, and possibly other direct actions, doing ‘gotcha’ video interviews to attempt to make participants look ignorant. Marc Morano will probably attend in person.”

Newell continued: “My advice to everyone would be to be careful who you talk to – if anyone asks to interview you, try and find out who they’re with first. If you do run into CFACT, you might be tempted to try and debate them, but for what it’s worth I would advise people not to engage them.”

“Even if you win the debate in real life, they will edit the video to make it seem otherwise, so it’s just not worth it. Watch a few of their existing videos and you’ll see what I mean!” Newell added.[Full Reprint of Newells email reprinted below.]

Hello all,

I wanted to share a warning with everyone on these lists, that representatives from climate denier group CFACT will be at the march, and possibly other direct actions, doing “gotcha” video interviews to attempt to make participants look ignorant. Marc Morano will probably attend in person.

My advice to everyone would be to be careful who you talk to – if anyone asks to interview you, try and find out who they’re with first. If you do run into CFACT, you might be tempted to try and debate them, but for what it’s worth I would advise people not to engage them.

Even if you win the debate in real life, they will edit the video to make it seem otherwise, so it’s just not worth it. Watch a few of their
