It would have to be a very magical button though, as it would need to not only affect the UK, but countries which are actually the biggest polluters.

Like Livia said, our going carbon neutral would do almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Though I'd take their protests more seriously if they actually came up with solutions, like pushing for greater use of nuclear energy.

More excuses for inaction.

Also how do you know they are unemployed? Does their job status make them lesser human beings in your eyes? Are their opinions on the environment worth less than yours because you assume they don't have jobs?

Most of the time these protests offer solutions, they are usually protesting for certain actions to be taken but that doesn't make for a good bit of outrage journalism so they're just a bunch of unemployed people sitting around demanding blanket change.
