Climate activism has intensified in the past few years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms and wildfires around the world.
Stinks to see ambulances stuck in traffic because some kids didn’t consider the consequences of their actions, though.
Don’t mess with critical infrastructure to “send messages”. Roads can be very critical, to many people.

Holy cow… What does one do for upvotes around here, blow up hospitals?
And if you’re child/significant other died as a direct result of someone glueing themselves to a road, would you genuinely be ok with that? Would that be a worthwhile loss of life for the cause? Because somehow, I find that incredibly hard to believe.
You are correct. I would not be okay with that. I would be furious and hateful against the people responsible. The politicians that do nothing, making these protests necessary in the first place.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted so much either tbh. I completely support protest, but let’s not fuck up everyone’s day and potentially kill people for it. Yes, climate change is a genuine threat, but don’t risk the people’s lives.

Oh, I see. You just don’t understand the point of a protest.

Yep, these kids are trust fund babies with no idea what they’re doing and no personal responsibility. Their parents taught them that
you’re the one who supports running protesters over
