The protesters are well meaning idiots.

IF climate change is controlled my our actions ( a very debatable point, but no-one listens to facts here - re analysis of climate models presently being used, solar variability and historical trends)) it would make a LOT more sense to try and SAVE the people threatened by said change than to try and stop it- IT HAS ALREADY passed beyond simple correction by ANY amount of CO2 reduction. ( see methane release from polar regions et al)

But it is MUCH easier for Politicians to just say "Do what I tell you and everything will be ok" than to actually move people away from regions impacted by sea level rise or climate shift, and redistribute food production instead of money ( that just flows into the said politician's pockets) All that land that WAS tundra could now be breadbasket- but that would take an effort that no-one wants to make. Far better to get rid of all private transportation, and let the government decide where ( we get to go ( and who can go there.)

The idea that ANY beef production ( or dairy) can be sustained ( given the methane produced ) while calling for the draconian CO2 reductions ( and THEIR impact on the environment AND human lives) is a fantasy.
