Maybe if just one more road is blocked by unemployed people, the government will push the Make Everything Better Button.

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.
