Climate change protesters dressed as elves have superglued themselves to the road on Pitt Street in Sydney’s CBD, causing traffic chaos.

The group from Extinction Rebellion have gathered around a makeshift Santa sleigh filled with charcoal, which they spread on the ground.

Police and emergency services are currently on the scene and attempting to use acetone to remove the protesters, Seven News reports.

Tie a tow rope to them, hitch it to a truck and peel them right off the pavement.

If they do it, they should combine it with a pay-for-view broadcast. They’ll make millions.

I’d pay.

One guy showed up to the protest dressed as an orc. Boy was he embarrassed.

A pressure-washer would be cheaper, and more fun. Start at the top and work your way down in layers until... all gone!

Leave then there and close the pubs an hour late. I’ve worked with the Australian army and they can make a game out of anything.

They should have set up a road closure and then ignored them, left them there.

I think they should have left them glued to the road, set up sawhorses, and routed traffic around them.

I know it is hot down there now (which would be entertaining to see them dessicate glued to the road like roadkill) but in an ideal world, they would have snow and lots of dirty black slush to get splashed on them by passing cars.

would have been an excellent opportunity for a ‘fireant accident’ to take place- “oppsie doodle- we spilled a billion fireants- sure hope noone is glued to the road in that section of hte city”

I’m sure that acetone they’re using to remove them is great for the environment. /sarc

Just open the highway. Let the traffic take care of the problem.

I remember two particular summer (our winter time) days in Australia. One in Melbourne when the temperature and humidity made it feel like Miami in August. Another, also their mid-summer, in Sydney when the midday temperature could not have been above 65 F. Even in a country that is basically a big desert in the middle and jungle in the north the weather can be mild. And in all my years, over 35, of international travel I never noticed any progressive changes in the "climate". Generally hot places remained hot in the day and cool at night. And the cold places remained stubbornly frigid.

Which reminds me of when I read Clancy's Rainbow Six. The plot described a plan by eco-terrorists to spread a lethal virus around the world, killing all but a few thousand "enlightened" (and vaccinated) elites to rule the world. It was based on the fact that eco academics and radicals believe most of the earth's population needs to be eliminated so the world can "be saved". Even more true today that then.

The location for distributing the virus would be at the Sydney Summer Olympics, dispersed through the international crowd by the water fans needed to cool everyone down during the brutally hot afternoons. Problem is the Summer Olympics are always held in September. Which is the end of Australia's Winter. It was such a glaring mistake that it unsuspended my disbelief and I had to conclude that the only part Clancy, a stickler for detail and no dummy, played in writing the book was agreeing to have his name on the cover.

I’ve never understood why the authorities don’t leave such people where they are until well after they are begging to be released.
