Climate change protests

[ads36]

We've tried doing nothing, and that's not worked.

 

Fun fact 1 : we've already lost Hull. It's still there, you can go and see it, but we've already released enough CO2 to ensure sea levels will rise to flood most of Hull by the end of this century.

 

Fun fact 2 : sea levels are rising faster than predicted.

I think we need some source for these facts.

Today, sea level is 5 to 8 inches (13-20 centimeters) higher on average than it was in 1900. That's a pretty big change: for the previous 2,000 years, sea level hadn't changed much at all. The rate of sea level rise has also increased over time

Extinction Rebellion are an overwhelmingly white,  middle-aged and upper middle-class regressive and reactionary elitist movement. 

 

It is a protest movement for white, middle-class privilege.

It may well be that the people who attend this protest are mostly white and middle class; I hope that in the coming years they attract a wider cross section of the public. 

However, because the protests aren't a representative cross section of the public, that doesn't invalidate their argument. If the protest were a strike by local authority workers like support staff or admin staff would you be complaining that it was a bunch of working class people whinging about work? Most likely not.

I think you need to drop the 'chip on your shoulder' act. So what if people are middle class and white, are they somehow to blame for this. or indeed is it anything they need to feel guilty about?

You come across as really immature.

King of ignorance claims science-backed protestors are ignorant. What are brexit protestors?

They're not, nothing can stop it. It's going to change, and it's going to be bad.

 

But right now, we have a choice. We can choose between 'bad' , or 'catastrophic'.

 

We all know what we have to do, and mostly, this needs action at a national and global level.

 

 

So what are you going to do?
