XR are primarily concerned with governments being honest about the danger, and debating it.
Demand 2, is far beyond debating, to achieve it in that time frame would send the uk into recession, involve closing whole industries and make everyone in the nation considerably financially and welfarewise worse off to achieve it. It would make austerity and no deal Brexit look like a walk in the park. I am not commenting on the right and wrong of demand two given the severity of ecological collapse but to say XRs main concern is debate appears to be severely downplay the impact they would have on people if they are successful in thier demands

There is huge emphasis in workshops etc around ‘othering’ and how it is counterproductive. They’re aware it’s no good.
The debate around the balance of personal sacrifice vs tech dev etc in mitigation climate change will rumble on. XR are primarily concerned with governments being honest about the danger, and debating it. Here are the core principles btw.
