  • When has a protest changed anything. The suffrogetes protesting did not get woman the vote. World war one did that. If we were serious about climate change we would building new houses prefab and stop using so much cement, concrete and bricks in construction. Not only more thermally efficient bit quicker and cheaper to build with lower emissions.

    Protest like this preach to the converted and make the converted feel better about them selves.

  • ...Vietnam?

    (That was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek remark, realised irony was lost)

  • Not many of us are building houses tho.

  • If you joined in you could learn even more about alternative building materials.

  • You sound like fun. As mentioned above, they will be on the right side of history. A good way of putting it.

  • There's an article I can't find about this way of thinking. I'm not saying your point is not valid to a degree, but we need way more than cynicism right now.

    You can be as pessimistic as you want in regards to this, but this isn't the time to peck at this cause; it's time to join it or at least endorse it vocally.
    It's not a fight to rile against University costs or stopping a war. It's our environment. It collapses, we die. It will recover. We won't.

    If these protests highlight or push for a drastic and rapid change in any way or form, then its done its job.

  • So you are advocating apathy and crossing our fingers that circumstance may or may not bring about the change we need to survive in the face of extinction?

    You sir are a brilliant mind, thank God we have you around
