Intro To Extinction Rebellion (XR)
XR began in the UK last Fall to save Humankind from extinction by 2030.
They claim Drastic Action is required to raise awareness of the dire nature of the situation.
My take on it?
Inevitable Near Term Human Extinction (INTHE) is locked in & has been for some time.
XR looks like a collective display of the 1st three of the five stages in Kubler-Ross's dying process -
1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Bargaining
That's my take
Y'all's results may vary.
If anyone's interested in aligning with the organization, disregard the dates given in the vid - they pertain to last year.
XR is planning an international event for October 7 of '19 - Search It.
It's a futile waste of time & energy IMO - like railing against gravitation or rearranging deck furniture on the Titanic.
But if it'll make anyone Feeeel like you're actually accomplishing something - go for it & knock y'all's selves out

There are of course people with good intentions, but the problem is the loudest voices are those advocating for radical government intervention, which would be a disaster in my opinion. Look what a rise in fuel tax led to in France - the yellow vest movement. There's no way most people are going to accept huge increases in tax forced upon by a government who tell you "oh, it's okay, we're saving the planet". Not a chance. And the thing is i'm not against environmentalism, far from it, but in order for things to be a success, it has to be led by regular citizens, with minimal government interference. A re-dedication to tree planting. Encouraging people to make a difference through our individual actions and lifestyle. We are the consumer after all. How we consume dictates what companies produce.
Think global, act local.
It's a bit like my CS mantra...chat global, date local
Don't fret. Continue to drill her, pump her, burn her, and ignore her genius. She was always going to win eventually. Time is on her side as well.
Yale scientists put out unscientific information to foster feeeel-good complacency
"Such things don't happen and won't happen because I say so & I'm a scientist."
"...neither the day nor the hour."
But we're taught to be aware of signs of the times...
2But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red;’ 3and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times!…

Yes! In fact, a group of us noticed a particularly spectacular sunset just this past Wednesday.
A lot of hits will come up.
The dust has been/is causing remarkable sunsets over a large area -
Parts of Europe & Eastern N. America, among others.
yes, it is.
"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

Well, nothing can be done now.
Now that's a Great plan!
I just hope the kids think it's funny.
They like gluing their hands to trains in order to delay public transport - they should be applauded for giving people an excuse for being late for work!

I don't understand with you though miclee, how you can post comments and yet your profile picture light is grey? But it should be green, to show that you're online? Is there a loose connection?
It was necessary that I do so as I must deceive my enemies.
For obvious reasons.
It warns of human extinction.
It claims to inform us how to prevent it - but really doesn't.
Yes. Arctic methane is venting. How can it be stopped?
How can sprayed champagne be rebottled & recorked?
