Australians Stick Heads In Sand To Mock Prime Minister Abbott's Climate Stance [1]

"SYDNEY - More than 400 protesters stuck their heads in the sand on Australia's Bondi Beach on Thursday, mocking the government's reluctance to put climate change on the agenda of a G20 summit this weekend.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott's perceived failure to address climate change is all the more galling in the wake of an agreement between the United States and China on Wednesday to limit their carbon emissions, they said.

'Obama's on board, Xi Jinping's on board, everyone's on board except one man,' activist Pat Norman, 28, bellowed into a megaphone on the Sydney beach."
