Climate change - how arsed are you?

Who’s pretending climate activism is non political?

They’ve been doing high profile events around London. Nobody’s listening. The kids have been doing their high profile protests for nearly a year. Nobody’s listening. I don’t really see any harm in trying to shake people out of their morning zombie commute. Unfortunately the commuters on the tube would happily trample their grandmothers to death to get to that last seat, so their animal behaviour doesn’t surprise me. Fuck London commuters - almost universal cunts to a man/woman.

Having to take public transport is already one of the most depressing daily activities people have to deal with and now you have to deal with jumped-up morons who think they're making a difference when, by the way, using public transport is decent for the environment.

 

It would make more sense if they made a human blockade on a busy highway to inconvenience the single people driving in cars instead.

Yes, I’ve never used public transport in my life. Or job. Never. Ever. 
 

Idiot. It’s not about the public transport. It’s about trying to get people’s attention.

I removed that part.

 

Yeah, I'm sure the people that are doing the environmentally conscious thing by taking public transport are the ones that need to pay attention. It's a dick move and it's tone deaf by these protestors.

[Anubis]

I apologise for the word idiot. Frustration and it was uncalled for and uncivil of me.
 

However, if you think all of the people on the London tube are using it because they are environmental conscious then I’m afraid you’re going to be severely disappointed.

It might not be the primary intent, but the bottom line is that people are helping the situation taking the train, not hurting. Just find somewhere else to protest.

[Juniper]

A bit of an unwise thing for the protesters to have done and I don't think it was very smart of them, however when it's over something like climate control I'm not sure violence is the answer.

 

Dick moves both sides of the coin.

[General Dryness]

I'm no leader of men, but I reckon if you want to get someone on your side its probably best not to really really piss them off.

All the noise is that these were rebel rebels and that action was not approved by XR. 

[Rico1304]

For anyone looking to save the planet with an electric car Octopus Energy are partnering with Nissan in a deal to lease a Leaf for £299 a month.  

 

On the guy on the tube being disavowed by XR didn’t they say they didn’t have a hierarchy and that people were free to protest how they wanted? I’m sure they said that was their big difference to other groups.

“The electric car is in reality, a coal powered car”

 

 

That doesn’t take into account the fact an electric car has fewer moving parts, has a smaller supply chain, doesn’t require servicing as much and therefore can easily do 200k miles with a new battery. Also in the UK it’s entirely possible to power it on solar panels or using a green energy company. No cow at all.

Like how they’ve handed fuel to every Piers Morgan or Hartley-Brewer style blowhard cunt desperate to characterise them as snotty-nosed entitled kids, while simultaneously upping the likelihood of normally peaceful protesting being subjected to ever more authoritarian responses.

 

Utterly brainless on many levels, and no doubt depressing for so many people involved in the movement.

Hahahaha one of the mad cunts is up Big Ben 

[Pidge]

To be honest the police banning protest acros the city was only going to lead to the protestors having to get creative. Absolute stupidity to close down peaceful protest.

Well, the more efficient move forward would be to only buy electric cars produced by renewables. Unfortunately the reality is, nobody does that yet.

Looks like the Met are going to be forking out a few Bob.

Killing billionaires.

 

The tree planting can be publicly funded.
