"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels." Antonio Guterres, UN secretary-general.
@ExtinctionR As if creating a traffic jam was positive for the environment. Be creative at least. You are on the righteous side. That's not far fetched to sublimate it. Paint it in white on the asphalt! It is good for Earth's albedo!
@ExtinctionR @SallyStrange Yeah sure block me and desunite ourselves environmentalists even in discussing the best way to fight climate change. Get people angry against environmentalists in artificial traffic jams is sure the best way to fight climate change! Your attitude is despicable.

Ending car dependency is great for drivers too. Less traffic.
