It seems we may have found what was supposed to be the big denier event in Lima! Marc Morano and CFACT flew Apollo astronaut Walt Cunningham to Lima and then proceeded to throw him off a cliff. Flapping behind the paragliding octogenarian was a banner that read, "No New Treaty."
So far this publicity stunt, carried out on Sunday, has garnered all the media attention it deserves—none. Well, to be fair, there was one pick-up. But that was from CFACT itself, on their blog. If this sounds familiar, that's because it should!
Back on September 22, CFACT hired a plane to tow the banner, "No global warming for 17 years-CFACT.org" around Manhattan. Inexplicably, they chartered this flight on the Monday after NYC welcomed 400,000 marchers (and plenty of media) for the People's Climate March and the day before diplomats and business leaders from around the world showed up for the UN Climate Summit. As with their ploy in Lima, the only reporting was on CFACT's own blog, with even the likes of Breitbart and the Daily Caller overlooking CFACT's efforts.

The Climate Action Hub
Building upon the momentum generated by the People's Climate March, The Climate Action Hub focuses the energy and ideas that converged around the 2014 UN Climate Summit to engage civil participation in local, regional and global climate action. The Hub showcases NGOs, eco writers, scientists, bloggers and YOU in a group mission to amplify messaging and promote action on such issues as climate justice, sustainable development and clean energy. It will also serve as a forum for educating and informing the wider public and expand the civil movement to ensure success at the 2015 UNFCCC Paris Climate Summit. Please add any information on climate actions in comments below.
The Climate Action Hub at Daily Kos seeks volunteer ambassadors of climate activism to work on our 'eco swat team' in local communities and here at Daily Kos to disseminate information about the growing role of civil society in climate solutions. Join us here at Daily Kos to contribute your skills and experience. We need all hands on deck!
