Activists shut down liberal group's climate confab

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Washington Examiner:

A liberal think tank in Washington with close ties to the Obama administration got bum rushed by environmentalists Friday, forcing the president of the organization to swiftly wrap up a conference being held on climate change.

 

Ironically, the first words out of Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden's mouth in response to the disturbance was "this is not the forum," even though on stage with her was billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer, two state governors who are pushing for strong climate policies and activists with other environmental groups.

 

After being drowned out by chanting, Tanden quickly ended the conference, saying, "Obviously we got people excited."

 

The protesters appeared to be part of a campaign started by the Center for Biological Diversity to point out the hypocrisy of state officials who support taking climate action, but back natural gas development from shale. Target No. 1 was Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania. His state is the largest natural gas producer on the East Coast.
