Climate activists step up protests in Britain and France

Thousands of people marched in south Paris to press French President Emmanuel Macron, world leaders at the United Nations and multinational companies to reduce greenhouse emissions faster,

Saturday's protests come a day after hundreds of thousands of mostly young people marched, rallied and demonstrated around the world, demanding action to combat climate change. The Global Climate Strike took place Friday in advance of a United Nations climate summit. Clement Senechal, a Greenpeace climate campaigner, accused Macron of putting business interests ahead of protecting the environment.

Taking shelter from tear gas inside an apartment building along the protest route, Danielle Joly called the police response "a total disgrace." The protest was given the go-ahead by local authorities within certain limits, and Extinction Rebellion insisted it would "not cause any disruption to vital supplies" such as medicines.

Climate activists who will not show their faces have no credibility with the public at large. If you believe in your cause than unmask. Could it be these individuals are professional paid protesters no matter what the issue is?
