yeah when we're all drowning we'll wish that we had that one extra day of living road blocks, because of all the difference it makes.

Taking climate change seriously, and finding those people idiotic and a waste of time aren't mutually exclusive.

People are using any excuse not to take climate change seriously because it's a truth they don't want to face. We've seen this for years now and we'll see it right up until we're underwater.

Right, so that's why you've chosen to use this time to whine about the inconvenience of road blocks over climate change.

What? Why would I choose a time when they're not clogging up the roads to "whine" about it?

You just admitted that as things get worse in the future due to climate change, you wouldn't be so silly as to look back on these days and wish you didn't have the inconvenience of road blocks.

Yet... you're spending today moaning about the inconvenience of road blocks, instead of the importance of preventing that dire future due to climate change.

Two things can be true at once - climate change can need addressing, and those protesters can try to do something about it in a way which doesn't piss everyone off.

Pissing people off is the last method of getting them to stand up and do something.
