Why have they done that? I was expecting a jokeThe police have confiscated the baby disposable nappies, surely their babies should be wearing re-usable nappies?
I notice that there are XR activists from all over the UK joining in..... I wonder how they got to London.... surely it must have been without leaving any carbon footprint? I'm all for saving the planet but this bunch seem rather hypocritical.Extinction Rebellion protesters gather in London for launch event
Extinction Rebellion protesters gathered in London this evening for a launch event to kick off two weeks of protests. The group plans to shut down key sites and protest government departments.www.dailymail.co.uk
Apparently they are going to shut down london for two weeks starting tonight
There can't be many of them with jobs if they can do this.
They don't actually do anything to contribute towards saving the planet from what i can see.I notice that there are XR activists from all over the UK joining in.....

Reusable nappies are no better for the environment than disposable ones.The police have confiscated the baby disposable nappies, surely their babies should be wearing re-usable nappies?
Agreed. They just disrupt things.They don't actually do anything to contribute towards saving the planet from what i can see.

Why is it a poor argument?Do people honestly put stock in this awfully poor argument?
Its almost as if you haven't even tried to have a slightly wider think around the issue.
Aye, the very same people, who use airlines, to transport them, to their foreign holidays, in the sun.I notice that there are XR activists from all over the UK joining in.....

Exactly!Aye, the very same people, who use airlines, to transport them, to their foreign holidays, in the sun.
Hypocritical wankers.
Those well known, eco warriors, Harry and his missus, spring to mind.Exactly!

They are raising awareness I'll give them that. Most probably don't understand shit about the environment though.They don't actually do anything to contribute towards saving the planet from what i can see.
I think the awareness is there mate. We're in the paris climate agreement.... we're ahead of schedule to hit our targets, I don't know what more they want us to do.They are raising awareness I'll give them that. Most probably don't understand shit about the environment though.
I disagree. The rise in emissions is partially driven by consumerism and our attitudes to what we use. If people didn't demand the shit we use it wouldn't get produced. Sometimes we need to take responsibility for our own lives and stop blaming the government.Because individual contributions to our Carbon emissions are insignificant in comparison to what these activists believe they can achieve by forcing through policy change, which is ultimately what's needed.
Whether you believe they will achieve their goals or not is irrelevant to the argument (I happen to believe they won't). The point is simply that it's not hypocritical if they're convinced its a small price worth paying.
Everyone is aware of what the issues are but dont really understand the costs and benefits of alternative solutions. I don't think the demonstrations help with this though.I think the awareness is there mate. We're in the paris climate agreement.... we're ahead of schedule to hit our targets, I don't know what more they want us to do.
