Truck drivers across Norway are going to be congesting roads by driving at 40kph in the Easter holidays to protest record-high fuel prices caused by the Trump administration.
If a climate activist mentioned the *possibility* of doing this in a group chat they'd be jailed and fined millions within hours

@ketan Driving slow must be the norm, for climate reason... and safety.
Not only a way of protest.
Here in Spain farmers and transportist also make this kind of protest, and they want cheap oil to combat the low prices caused by climate change.

they tried this in my bit of England a year or two ago, on the A12 highway between Suffolk/Essex and London.
It had near 0 effect, as the roads are often so congested anyway no one really noticed the traffic was going that much slower 😁
