Why aren't global warming alarmists protesting in Beijing instead of New York?

China has a strong environmental movement, in many ways more effective than ours, since they learned our tactics--standing on the shoulders... Though they do have a different culture to work in they seem to be having good effect.

So to answer your question, I'd say: logistics.

Not sure why you would enjoy seeing police putting down peaceful dissent. Are you really that politicized?
 
If "efficacy" is measured in having a positive effect on the environment, local or otherwise, I'm not sure you can say the Chinese environmental movement is more effective than our own. It's almost akin to saying Russian activists are more effective than we are at exacting political change.
 
my point was not made well.

It was that our agw nutters want the ability of out govt to beat down the opposition too.
In our country the nutters are currently in charge of the senate and the executive branch.

First, let's be clear... inside China the environmental movement is basically non-existent. Any of this type of dissent would be viewed as a threat to commerce and the government, and repressed brutally. If the global alarmists don't believe me then I suggest they go to Beijing and try to march.

As for the rest of your nonsense, let's go to the article to get some perspective...

Climate: Amid all the hoopla over the "world's largest march against global warming," one question went unasked: Why aren't the protesters carping about the real culprits behind the recent rise in CO2?

It makes no sense. America is a global warming success story, for those who believe in such things. CO2 emissions are on the downtrend in this country. In fact, they are lower today than they were two decades ago. When you account for all the economic and population growth over those 20 years, that decline is even sharper.

What's more, the U.S. — along with several other industrialized nations — is below the CO2 emission targets set by the Kyoto protocol. You know, the treaty that Al Gore & Co. said would save the planet, but that America never ratified.

China is a completely different story. It's tripled the amount of CO2 it pumps into the air each year over those same two decades, to the point where it now emits almost twice as much CO2 as the U.S.

Other developing countries are spewing CO2 at record levels as well. And all are increasing at rates much faster than industrialized nations could ever hope to cut theirs back.

So where are the protestors? Are they in Beijing demanding that the communist leaders there "change course"? Are they in India — where CO2 levels have doubled in the past two decades — demanding more solar panels and electric cars?

Nope. Instead they flock together in New York, in London, even Australia (which emits as much CO2 in an entire year as China does in 16 days).

It gets worse. The rallies are supposed to serve as a prelude to a big U.N. confab this week, where the leaders of more than 120 countries are to talk about how they can do more to fight "climate change."

So guess which country is blowing off this global conference? It seems China's president was too busy to bother coming.

If global warmists are right — and we think they're dead wrong — such impudence would be almost unimaginable.

But anyone want to make a guess as to how many times Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore and the other celebrity and environmental do-gooders dropping into Manhattan condemned China — rather than the Koch brothers — for indifference to the planet?

If these people believed that global warming was the biggest threat facing mankind, they'd act like it.

And they'd start by attacking China, India and other developing countries with unrelenting force — while celebrating the amazing success here in America.

Don't hold your breath.

It would be enjoyable watching the Chinese police dealing with a march by the alarmists!

Good question, they could have flown over in Al Whore's private CO2 spewing private jet.
 
bitching about hypocrisy is the ultimate drag

it's all around us everywhere

pointing it out does nothing to improve the situation
 
If our police could beat down environmental protest the way the Chinese police (supposedly) can, we would be free to make our lands like theirs!

Unreal. Hope you don't actually believe that.
