Nonsense. By "legitimate protest" you simply mean sending emails and anything else that can be completely ignored
All this has been known for decades - anyone with any intelligence knows it all, and yet nothing is done... but if we just ask nicely like Thunberg has been for years (and others for decades before her) then Boris will suddenly do something
But something was done.
The fact that very few took the opportunity up is not the governments fault.
It seems IB or XR choices to help the planet are more about getting themselves on tv, and being sanctimonious pricks shouting a lot about the greater good and protesting in such a way that adds to the carbon footprint or endangers life
Rather than asking themselves what they want and looking to see if it already exists.
All this could have been done so much better if these “protests” were there to help people find ways to live a greener lifestyle and showing people that there are ways to insulate your home, put in double glazing, better quality exterior doors, solar panels etc for free that would all save them money on fuel bills
Instead they have done so much harm to the cause.
If you want people to change you have to realise that most people’s first thoughts will be “what is in it for me” “what will this cost” “will this make my life easier/cheaper”
Not I am going to sit on a motorway and block traffic or chain myself to a truck in the hope you ask me why and I can then give you a load of spiel about the planet is dying and it is all your fault.
Instead of Greta Thunberg scowling at Trump which was laughable and did nothing for her cause. Maybe if there was something that could have saved the average American money whilst being greener and being open minded at trying to connect with the head of the country which is one of the worlds leading polluters things could have been further on than they are.
