Over 1,000 scientists from around the world take to the streets in week-long climate protests

Hundreds of scientists from around the world took part in protests last week to apply pressure on government agencies to make “rapid and deep” cuts to greenhouse gas emissions before it’s too late.

In London, 25 scientists glued pages of scientific papers, along with their hands, to the windows of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to force the agency to look at the climate research they say the British government has been ignoring, The Guardian reported.

In Madrid, over 50 protesters were arrested after taking to the streets and throwing fake blood on the steps of the Spanish Parliament’s Congress of Deputies.

In Los Angeles, NASA scientist Peter Kalmus and three other people were arrested on Wednesday after they chained themselves to the front door of a Chase Bank building in protest of the company’s investment in fossil fuels.

“We’ve been trying to warn you guys for so many decades that we’re heading towards a f—— catastrophe, and we’ve been being ignored,” said Kalmus, Business Insider reported. “The scientists of the world are being ignored, and it’s got to stop. We’re not joking. We’re not lying. We’re not exaggerating.”

The protests were part of a week of civil disobedience organized by Scientist Rebellion, the scientific branch of the climate change activist group Extinction Rebellion.

More than 1,000 scientists from over 25 countries took part in the protests to highlight the findings from a United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report stating humanity only has three more years to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’ve been trying to warn you guys for so many decades....”

Ever since the days of predicting the coming Ice Age.

You guys [the “scientists”] are just wanting government funding for everyone.

“three more years”

That’s about 40 million personal EVs for the USA alone per year.

I’ll be looking forward to meeting most of you in heaven by 2026, unless St. Peter sends me downward.

“scientists glued pages of scientific papers, along with their hands”

Which pretty much tells you their mental state.

Political science, gender science, women’s science. Throw in some sociologists, and you have your “scientists”

Doesn’t take much to be called a scientist these days. More accurate would be to call them cultists.

And, AND, relieve them of any and everything they posses made from black gold or produced by any process using black gold in any way, shape, or form. I REALLY don’t like these lying assclowns.

Are private jets barred from flying over the airspace of any country for environmental reasons?

How many of these alleged scientists are actual climatologists?

No matter the size of the protests (and 1000 worldwide is not a lot) they have yet to convince most people with the data. Instead they put pressure on the government to enact expensive, unproven and most likely ineffective measures.

Key words- “The scientists of the world are being ignored, and it’s got to stop”.
What they’re really saying- “Pay attention to US! WAAAHHH!”

Protesting the climate is about as silly as you can be.. I really don’t think the climate gives a hairy rats patootey about your grievances…
