I guess the question is: "Would there be 15 pages of "discussion" on the subject had they done so? It's all about drawing attention. We can agree or disagree about the methods, but I don't think anyone can claim they haven't garnered attention..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only attention they’ve gained is how stupid some people look. They essentially have become that crazy person screaming the sky is falling in the streets. We used to lock those people up in the looney bins. Now we just call them liberals.....I kid, I kid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Relentlessly clubbing people over the head with the climate issue may sound like a necessary and justifiable tactic from an activist perspective, but from a human nature/behavior standpoint, at some point people will say, "enough already!" The recent student protests were effective in garnering international attention. And I think most people can at least rationalize some positivity in the fact that the student generation actually cares about the future. On the heels of that came the Extinction Rebellion, which was a disruptive force that left more of a bad taste with people. It was too soon after the student protest. If anything, it eroded the effectiveness of the student protest. Now comes another, even more disorganized and disruptive Extinction Rebellion only a couple weeks later. This is on top of the non-stop barrage of divisive climate articles across social media AND the carbon tax coming out of people's pockets. The problem is that people need time to digest these things on a human level. The general population is already overwhelmed by their own lives and an ongoing barrage of information on a daily basis. The more relentless the climate advocates become, and the more overwhelmed people feel by the climate issue, the more people will look for a more "conservative" approach just to slow things down, have a moment to breathe, and digest change. It's human nature. I'm all for the right to protest. Have no problem with that. But on a human level, you can't have constant change and disruption on blast 24/7. The emotional intensity is not sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Does not make sense to protest at public transit place because it takes people off cars. Less cars, less global warning. So why do XR do it? Are they a bunch of idiots? Edited October 18, 2019 by DonLever 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read, they thought at one time that some human produced elements may cool the temp, some may warm. I really don't know my stuff on this, but I believe everybody's hero Al Gore made 'global warming' a term in reference to whats happening in the 'climate change'. I should have asked this first, who proved global warming 'wrong'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew at the start of the vid what was going to happen. I'm from that scrappy country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
