Well said - you might find that ERs agenda goes a lot further than climate change.

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.

I would kettle them and when they’re all in the group I’d spray them with cannons and then tear gas them. Give them an asbo for London as well after a good going over in the cells. Certainly crack a few skulls.

Our Demands - Extinction Rebellion UK

rebellion.earth rebellion.earth

Looking at their demands,

Number 1 - Tell the truth, we have this already, our government don't deny climate change, our government don't deny it's man mande, our government is signed up to the Paris protocol which aims for net zero carbon emissions by 2050

Number 2 - Act Now, Net Zero emissions by 2025. This is impossible, however net zero emissions by 2030 is a possibility and something they should lobby for. Their activists should put pressure on MP's to pass the Green New Deal already proposed by parliament which achieves this.

Number 3 - Beyond Politics, Government must create and be led by a citizens assembley on this, never gonna happen, don't know why you'd bother trying.

The bill is what they should put their focus on.

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.

The one in Sunderland attracted a lot of fatties mind. They should eat less before lecturing the rest of us because food production has a huge carbon footprint.

I'm no expert in this subject, but I just can't understand how they can protest against something so strongly yet still live their lives polluting the planet?

1. We still don't know the complete truth. Climate science is very complex and the trouble is scientists act as if they are 100% sure of the facts which they are not.
2. As a country we do more than most with the green thing. As said previously our emissions are insignificant on a global scale. Sea level rise will ironically affect the worst offenders the most.
3. Random people making decisions on scientific issues? 🤔 sounds a recipe for disaster.
