Following all the media hype (Telegraph, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express) about 'empty tents' at OccupyLSX we decided to check out whether their thermal imaging evidence was true.

We got hold of *exactly* the same thermal imaging camera and showed that - surprise, surprise - you can't tell when people are in their tents.

So don't believe the lies - come down to OccupyLSX and join the vibrant community of people working for a better world. http://occupylsx.org

1. Well, when you think about those tents, isn't the idea to keep the heat in and cold out?

I'd guess they'd be pretty tight, and there wouldn't be a lot of heat escaping from them or even visible if they were well made.

The only tents that would show a thermal image would be ones that were more loosely constructed.

2. They are thermal insulated. Duh to the British media. Huge embarrassment.

As soon as the original "investigative" slander articles appeared, people ware saying "uh, most tents are thermal insulated."

4. It would be an embarrassment only if the intent wasn't misinformation.

3. After all, it's all about the tents.

That little detail regarding the total economically disproportionate distribution of wealth in our societies is so easy to overlook.
