The solutions to curbing environmental issues aren’t deeply mysterious riddles that we still need to find answers to. But the state seems to have other priorities

The question is: are we winning the fight against climate change, given the campaigning success of Extinction Rebellion? In some respects, it’s not quite clear.now. Attention may be one thing, but government action is an entirely different kettle of fish, and we need to make sure that the state is just as dedicated to battling climate change as activists are.

Opinion: Extinction Rebellion, Attenborough and the Green Party have revolutionised the climate change fightSo successful has this movement been that their demands are well enough known to trip off the tongue of every frustrated London cabbie No they haven't. They've promoted a scam. Strange MSN will talk about ExReb demos until the sunsets in a chemically induced mess, yet gives no mention of the Geoengineering chemtrails that goes on above our heads every day. by spreading outright lies....they should revoke his knighthood. The problem I have with these climate change protestor, is that they are preaching to the choir. They need to take their message out to the third world and developing countries not waste their time here in the UK. We are doing our bit, more than most other countries.

Think of how much this message is worth to them. They can't afford to lose.
