Climate protesters

Apparently those folx who think that the end is near because the climate is going to end life as we know it have decided that the effective way to protest is to block traffic in DC.   Let’s ignore the fact that, if history is any indication, they’ll leave trash everywhere.  Let’s focus on the fact that the most inefficient period for a car with an international combustion engine is when its idling.   So, they’ve decided that the best way to save the climate is to force thousands of cars to idle, spewing unnecessarily high levels of exhaust into the air.

Then there’s this take.

“White privilege is not having to work on Monday morning so you can stop people in a majority POC city from getting to their jobs.”

Or this.

“Every left wing protest betrays a total contempt for the working class. These idiots never have any compunction about shutting down traffic and preventing normal people from getting to their jobs so they can feed their families.”

Or 

“Notice that they’ll organize to impede peoples ability to work...

But they won’t organize to clean up 50 tons of trash from the streets like MAGA people did!

They really protest for socialism, not cleaning the environment, otherwise they’d put on some gloves!”

Or

“It takes a massive amount of cognitive dissonance to fret that climate change will destroy future generations while at the same time openly advocating for the destruction of future generations through abortion.  Can I wave off concerns about climate change by insisting that my carbon emissions are my business and any harm they cause to children isn't my problem? Or does that logic only work for abortion?“

“My carbon, my choice.”

It’s not wrong.
