350 Campaign Flops

The highly-promoted "350" Day of Action on Climate Change was under-whelming, and drew little support both locally and internationally. They will not admit it publicly but I am sure that the organisers are disappointed. The ODT story is here: many of the 400 people in Railway Station were probably attracted by the Spring Food Festival and free plants, and there were only 50 surfers at St Clair, instead of the hoped-for 350.
The low turnout was similar world-wide as can be seen here on the "Whats Up With That?" website.
The tide seems to have turned in the Global Warming debate, as people see for themselves that temperatures are not increasing. Polls show that that widespread and increasing skepticism, and articles on the Global Cooling are appearing in the main-stream media e.g. "Whatever happened to global warming" on the BBC website
And the prestigious Wall Street Journal describes New Zealand's first-in-the-world Emissions Trading Scheme as "global warming lunacy".
