Extinction Rebellion (Melbourne), if you're listening...

Stop bothering people trying to get to work or, more importantly, hospital or court (where appointments really matter), and target something that has played and continues to play a disgusting role in climate change denial/inaction:

The IPA, of course:






As for climate scientists in semi-supporting ER:  they know that the official position of the group in terms of targets are completely unachievable, but they feel that anything that seems to help political action in the right direction is at least not worth attacking.   See some comments here on Twitter:

if there really is a danger of 'extinction' there is a simple solution - nuclear which doesn't rely on wishy washy hopeless expensive unrealiable technologies like solar and wind. so they must not really believe what they are saying.

all this hysteria has had the opposite effect on me - I too am wondering where all the strong evidence for these very strong claims is

John Quiggin presents very reasonable arguments as to why nuclear is not a "simple" solution.
