I agree - left, right, extreme left or right or centre - climate change affects the WHOLE planet. We can't just jump off and go to another one. When the planet is ****ed, it is ****ed.
Now I could return your relevance quip! Does anyone disagree? No let's piss people off,those brave warriors. Good game on telly.
In all fairness S J I'm more pissed off with the way people protest than the protest . They wouldn't do it elsewhere.
Sorry, I just don’t understand the point you’ve been making. You agree that climate change needs action, or I assume you do, but you don’t specify what kind of action.
Chilcs,see my answer to S J. As it happens inconveniencing ordinary folk isn't req'd Imo. But I'll concede we wont see eye to eye on that last point.
Yes it is, it absolutely is, every arrest, every bit of publicity any attention at all is worth it! What's your way if not this? Propose a viable alternative that will bring about change and I'll be right there on my soap box. Jab
As has been pointed out, without exactly this kind of campaign we wouldn’t have votes for women or an independent India, there would still be apartheid in South Africa, and we’d still be paying poll tax. So these actions which, in your view just annoy people, are very effective.
Oh yes they would and are. Here in The Hague, in Amsterdam, across Europe and worldwide. London is the focus at the moment getting plenty of coverage, mostly positive but plenty fake anger reports to. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1.......0...1c..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.yuydrGKWvLw
Effective,oh that's alright then. Robbing banks used to be effective for Bonny and Clyde. I was right we wont see eye to eye on the need for crap against the public. Disappointed you condone it.
Exactly. If actions don't inconvence signoficant numbers of people the vast majority will just ignore the events. The whole point of peaceful protests is to make the biggest noise in the most civilised way possible.

I did say worldwide. below quoted from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_Rebellion#International Tee shirt and glue at a branch near you.
