There demands are so extreme and I have yet to see a properly reviewed policy paper from them that shows how this can be done without a complete economic and social collapse.
"Anyone seeking to do to the economy what Extinction Rebellion plans to do should surely put it in a party manifesto to be scrutinised by the media and voters"
What’s more, these policies – which will hit the poorest in society hardest – will have almost no impact on the planet’s climate, even in 100 years, unless we can ensure that emerging giants China and India also cut emissions.
Surely there must be some people with a brain in the ER group who can put together a coherent policy on how their demands can be achieved worldwide - and present it to all governments who are dragging their heels?
First, though, they need to properly put together a detailed analysis and report on exactly why they believe the world is going to end in 11 years' time, as well as their detailed, scientific views on how to prevent this. If, as thought, their present vague policy will cause hardship to the poor perhaps they would like to swap places with them as I presume that the poor are too busy struggling to live to be able to devote time to going on protests. ER would, I think, all be middle class or, in the case of (dare I mention her again) Emma Thompson, very wealthy.
