I love they way they are now abbreviated, give them so much more gravitas ...... XRers 

I abbreviated them because I couldn't be bothered to write 'Extinction Rebellion protestors' every time.

They have refused to leave peacefully, so specialist police teams are getting them out the way themselves with winches 

1 down 4 to go

I'm afraid it has, could you explain?

My reply would be how the world worked IF Tu quoque was how the world works. As it is alleging, or even pointing out, someone is a hypocrite doesn't alter whether what they say is right or not.

No.

I'm confident they have just refused to leave. If you can show where they haven't been peaceful, but instead been violent, please post any examples. I'm happy to condemn violence!

You lost me well and truly now...... you give the air of someone who has lost the meaning  of the point you are trying to get across,  and instead just argue for the sake of arguing.

276 arrests made so far today in London

One suspects the courts are going to be very busy in the months ahead given this is expected to go on for 2-weeks

[SteveB]

Judging by the what I saw on the news, most of the people arrested are from the great un-washed brigade, you know the type of people who don't have any fixed address.  So going to court is pointless for these guys, you ain't going to get anything out of them  and instead all it does is waste even more public money and time.

Job done if your anti establishment .

[Methuselah]

Do Climate Change Deniers' gallbladders ever run out? Such a lot of bile!

That's grossly unfair! Some of them were teachers.

[SteveB]

Talking of bile, saw this woman being interviewed.  I'm guessing she thinks she's a modern day Nostradamus,  as she confidently predicted that all life on earth would be wiped out in 50yrs due to climate change. Delusional bile comes to mind.

Forgot to say, she had chained herself to the underneath of a van while making such predictions...... you couldn't make it up.. lol

The daft thing is, climate deniers is such a silly term, Climate changes , Earth warms and cools, it always has and always will. There's no denying that!

The same teachers who'll be marking some of their pupils down as "unauthorised absence", when those kids are taken on hols by parents in term time

Yep  you would think people would be better informed  regarding co levels  especially  if they are a member of such an organisation   no doubt the world is warming  but there is no scientist  that I'm aware of who thinks the world will end in 50 years

I don't deny any of that. Nor do I deny that human activities (burning fossil fuels mostly) are causing climate change. Nor do I deny that this planet is being degraded - its seas over fished, forests being chopped down, animals losing habitat, insect being killed. I'm thus supportive of XR.

Btw, I have a fixed address, I work, I'm not a pensioner - probably quite like you actually...

Remove the humans to save the planet then?

I agree. But then in any community you get diversity. Broadly XR get it.

And in 50 years? I will (I'm sad to say) be surprised if the world isn't another degree plus warmer, that some animals and birds we both know well will be effectively extinct in the wild and that changes we would be shocked at will have happened to the broader environment.

I expect attacks for such views.

No, that would be to put words in my mouth...

I said NO such thing! And I would not think such a thing!

Burning fossil fuels  are not mostly the cause of climate change  but they could be the reason why change is accelerating   I agree in regard to the earth being degraded   we have taken  oil from the planet for years  that has to have an affect  mass deforestation  also  is a major problem    so yeah I agree  I just think we are going about it the wrong way
