So now they're going for the stock exchange, of all things? Can't these idiots come up with clear aims, with sensible ways to get there?

[Oliver_W]

Oh they actually glued themselves to the building! Crack the highly irritant adhesive remover <3

Apparently back when protesters used to actually have something to say they would chain themselves to things...

Sir David Attenborough has directly supported students striking from school over climate change, saying outrage over lack of action to address the environmental crisis is “certainly justified”.

In an interview with former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres, the veteran BBC broadcaster and renowned naturalist said he found the wave of protests around the world enormously encouraging and dismissed critics of their tactics as cynics.

“[Young people] understand the simple discoveries of science about our dependence upon the natural world,” he said. “My generation is no great example for understanding – we have done terrible things.”

In the interview, reported by The Guardian, Sir David said the actions of young people were “the one big reason I have for feeling we are making progress. If we were not making progress with young people, we are done".

His support for the students comes as the 16-year-old girl who began the movement, Greta Thunberg, has been attacked in many parts of the British press.

This week Ms Thunberg accused the UK of “very creative carbon accounting”, pointing out that the government’s claims greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 42 per cent since 1990 was only accurate because it excludes emissions from international aviation, shipping and imports, and said the true figure was closer to a 10 per cent reduction.

The schoolgirl who was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize last month for her work fighting climate change, started to miss school in protest at governments’ collective inaction, beginning outside the Swedish Parliament last August.

“Their outrage is certainly justified, there is no doubt about that,” Sir David said to Ms Figueres, who led the UN’s role in the Paris climate change agreement.

When she asked him about the world his great-grandchildren will live in, he replied: “I don’t spend time thinking about that because I can’t bear it.

“I’m just coming up to 93, and so I don’t have many more years around here. I find it difficult to think beyond that because the signs aren’t good.”

Sir David’s backing for the movement comes amid a huge surge in climate change awareness.


Yes, you can make a difference in the fight against climate change
Ten days of peaceful protests in the UK in which over 1,100 people were arrested and saw major transport routes blockaded, came to an end on Thursday.

On Friday, the youth strikes will continue with protests expected in 485 towns and cities in 72 countries, according to the Fridays for Future website, which logs the school strikes which take place on Fridays.

Ms Figueres said: “Greta and the other young people are justifiably furious with us. They say we have been at this for 30 years and we still haven’t solved this.”

She also backed the Extinction Rebellion protests, saying: “Civil disobedience happens when the injustice gets too great. That is where we are.”

Yeah, I just don't understand why that's the only thing you took from the piece.

I'm not gonna deny that. Nor would I deny they're starting to have a point.

I absolutely think we should be greener - switch to nuclear energy, electric cars, and stop destroying the countryside and woodlands. I just don't think the recent protesters' methods are the right way to go about it, especially as their demands were too nebulous to be taken seriously.

World leaders ignoring the facts about the environment have always existed too.

To be fair I think they actually have a point for once. I don't think trees should be felled at all, especially for the bloody HS2.
