VIDEO THREAD: Climate activists blocked inbound rush hour traffic into Washington DC this morning to demand President Biden declare a "Climate Emergency" and cancel the Willow Project.

They say his approval of new drilling would offset any enviro gains from electric vehicles.

Two school busses were among the vehicles blocked by climate activists this morning during rush hour in Washington DC.

"I get y'all's protest, but we've got kids on the school bus that have to get to school!" one driver said.

"This is ridiculous!"

1. I don't see this as being helpful

But that’s just my 2 ¢

4. Public transit and remote work from home are great for climate change

but blocking vehicle traffic doesn't help. These workers and students and other folks are not the ones destroying the planet. That's industry. This is among many reasons why I just moved out of DC.

5. They are lucky that the drivers are so patient.

This is not a great idea especially only 8 people involved.
