SYDNEY (Reuters) - 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.

2. Gotta love those Oz folks!

They have a great sense of humor, and an irreverence to pull off precisely something like this. It speaks volumes for their integrity, and that ironic sense of humor.

7. Or if we did, it wouldn't make the news, like the historic Climate March

that was largely ignored or minimized, & quickly forgotten, by corporate media.

8. Hope springs eternal...so does dissent

The great hope of Australian politics is the range of active and influential voices that call for reasoned argument. This Bondi stunt may seem small, but it is just the stage presence of a bigger group and an ever shifting cadre of allies. You bet the joke is funny, but the debate is real.
