I had sympathy with the both the cause and actions (though not the vandalism) until today. They are now paralysing the public transport system. Isn’t the main thrust of encouraging better habits for climate change , getting people out of their cars and onto public transport.
Fact 1: people need to work
Fact 2 : most need to commute , short journeys or long.
Fact 3: protests are to promote awareness and get the people on your side.

THIS WON’T !

This thread reminds me of the George Carlin stand up routine. The world isn’t going to die, our time on it is.

To stop climate change humans everywhere need to stop breeding, when there are 1 billion humans the planet can recover. Won’t happen but I have no children to see the awful future

I suspect climate change could well be nature’s way of dealing with overpopulation.

In the west we’re actually really doing this, in the UK certainly most pairs of parents have less than two children between them on average, only children cut the population by half. But we have to work out how to get the rest of the world on board with that.
