These are the people
dumb enough to
glue themselves
to pavement
to protest climate:
Here are their
radical goals
in their own words:
"The 2025
decarbonisation
demand
is based on the
IPCC ‘10-12 years
to save the world’ report,
but applying principles
of climate justice
such that the global north
and south decarbonise
in a relatively just way."
"Carbon neutrality by 2025
is a moderate demand,
given that IPCC predictions
are likely very conservative,
yet we are on track to
drastically overshoot targets
across Europe."
"Not meeting this demand
likely ensures extinction
of most life on Earth."
It seems that they run
their entire worldwide
organization online.
They apparently left all
their document security
settings “public”,
so anyone can read them.
XR is mostly UK based.
They are well-funded,
with over £1 million
raised this year,
half of it unspent,
according to their
documents.
Major donors include
George Soros,
Vivienne Westwood’s
son Joe Corre
(underwear tycoon, worth $48 million),
the European
Climate Foundation,
Greenpeace,
the far-left
Tides Foundation, and a
Swiss asset management
company, Furka Holdings,
founded by a banker
with Russian links,
which gave £50,000,
and the band Radiohead.
Here are some
ER "accomplishments":
Blocked an entire
London bridge.
Cost the taxpayers at least
£16 million for extra policing,
plus millions more for the cost
of dealing with the 1,200
Extinction Rebellion activists
arrested in 11 days of protests.
Threatened to use drones
to shut down Heathrow Airport.
They claim to be non-violent.
A recent report by Richard Walton
– former head of the Metropolitan
Police’s Counter-Terrorism Command,
said Extinction Rebellion is a
hard-left extremist organisation
with anti-Semitic associations.
"The words of
Extinction Rebellion’s
founders and its posts on
social media make clear
that the objective
is system change.
This means bringing down
our existing democratic
system—which several
of the campaign’s leading
figures hold in contempt
—and causing rapid
economic disaster
for the country.
The proponents of this
course of action
have no serious
explanations
for how the country
would function
if their demands
were implemented.”
