Extinction Rebellion Protests: Hundreds Join Demonstrations Across UK Demanding Demanding Government Takes Action on Climate Change
15th December 2018
I guess fighting climate change implies leaving trash strewn around. Who knew?
At present the UK has over 66 million people. I doubt that protests involving less than a thousand people are going to impress anybody whose job it isn’t to report on it as if it were important.
Note the assumption that only the government can solve the climate change problem, implicitly by forcing people into behavior that they would not naturally do.
Note the meta-assumption that every problem is by its nature a political problem that requires political action to solve.
