Extinction Rebellion dump horse manure outside UN climate summit (block airport, stand on ice cubes)

Extinction Rebellion activists dumped horse manure and staged a mock hanging outside the venue of a UN climate summit in Madrid, airing their frustration world leaders' failure to agree on future battle plan against global warming.

Led by the environmentalist group, the actions were timed to coincide with the closing of the COP25 summit, where negotiators have been unable to reach a consensus on how to implement the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

"Just like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic, this COP's fiddling of carbon accounting and negotiating of Article 6 is not commensurate to the planetary emergency we face," Extinction Rebellion said in a statement.

Twelve members of the group stood on melting blocks of ice, nooses drawn tight around their necks to symbolise the 12 months remaining until the next summit, when the Paris deal enters a make-or-break implementation phase.

Attached to the pile of manure was a short message to leaders saying "the horses---- stops here."

**SNIP**

"Even if they reach an agreement it's still not enough. This is the 25th COP they've had and nothing has really changed," protester Emma Deane told Reuters from her perch atop an ice block, holding her young daughter in her arms.

"She's going to grow up in a world where there's no food on the shelves and that breaks my heart."

The group of around 100 activists gathered inside the hall chanting slogans for "climate justice" and carrying signs including one that advised travellers to "take the train".

**SNIP**

Extinction Rebellion protesters convicted ‘with regret’ by jury after gluing themselves to train in London

Very confusing.

Why can’t they all be leaders and just stop producing all of their CO2 to save the rest of us and the Erf?

Rabble Alliance v Rebel Alliance: Extinction Rebellion protesters invade the red carpet at the Star Wars premiere and are dragged away by security

The XR activists managed to sneak into the dedicated fans’ area outside Leicester Square’s famous cinema.

They then stormed the red carpet before lying down and holding up signs calling on film industry bosses to ‘tell the story of the climate crisis’.

Interesting how these folks don’t do this in China, India, or Russia.

I have NO idea why it took so long, but in the last year I figured out that one can easily lose weight by just breathing.

O2 in CO2 out -—> less mass.

Simple really.

If these activists had the courage of their convictions this should have been a mass suicide.

Interesting point! You should apply for a government grant to study future application.
About $10,000,000.00 for starters should get you going.

Keep calm. The Summit just can’t figure out a way yet to relieve people of their money.

And you thought it was about Climate Change you useful idiots.

"About $10,000,000.00 for starters should get you going."

I'm totally down for THAT struggle...

The Physics/Chemistry are just totally true though...

Some evil political organizations have largely already run the studies...

There is obviously a H2O component too, but O2 in —> H2O out —> less mass.

It is obvious that you are the one most qualified to pursue such a study and receive a $10,000,000.00 grant to carry on no matter how difficult the struggle....
I wish you well.

There’s a picture of the three kooks standing in the huge pile of manure. Priceless.
