I mean, why wouldn’t you? It’s only the habitability of our planet we’re talking about. It’s not like the economy tanked or anything.

If they’re cracking down on the people gluing themselves to random objects/highways and, as is described in the article, assaulting others with rocks, then I see nothing wrong with that.

Right, self-described “climate protestors” aren’t necessarily helping the environment.

Of course they don’t. They have some complexes in their heads and like “being important” and “doing the right thing”

We are all doing better than the “glue yourself to things” people because they’re moving things backwards, turning people against climate action, distracting from climate issues.

Seriously being treated as a terrorist and 30 days of jail for maybe glueing yourself on a street as polictical protest, is a normal fair reaction in your mind?

Can you point me to any of the climate protestors being convicted in a court for stopping or delaying emergency services? Because I know of cases were the police lied about this kind of stuff happening.

So you see anything wrong with the people in power basically dooming humanity to a climate ravaged future?

Because to me that is far far far more extreme and unacceptable than some small number of protestors.

I wish protestors could go far further. They are perfectly justified in doing so.

Yeah, no, sorry, I’m not gonna side against the protestors. What they should truly do is halt the whole economy, to really make the people in power feel it.

Anything less than that and it can just be ignored.

Good, these “protesters” are mostly idiots being a burden on the general Public. They should fuck with politicians but just block the main roads and disturb the life of normal working people.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
