Bishop Hill This will end in tears
Feb 2, 2011 Climate: other Greens A group of green activists is proposing to take more direct action against those of us who disagree with them.
Our initiative, Confront the Climate Cranks, will do just that: confront the cranks on camera and accompanied by some of the children they have put in danger. We will video all of our confrontations and then quickly make them available to the public—by posting them on YouTube and sharing them with mainstream and alternative media and the social networks of our partner organizations. (In the run-up to these confrontations, we will invite the participation of the members or readers of The Nation, Grist, Kids vs Global Warming and the other partnering organizations, polling them on which cranks to target, what questions to ask and so on. Thus we hope to build momentum before arriving in Washington, as well as generate continuing attention and activism after the confrontations.)

So they want deliberately to expose children to people they themselves see as dangerous cranks. Were I confronted, I'd call child services immediately before they expose the kids to somebody really dangerous.
