Climate Camp - Camping for Climate Change

Camping for Climate Change

Look out Climate Campers, I heard that those who dress up in riot gear and crash your demos are out and about again. Make sure you’re prepared with proper camping equipment. Be careful and keep the cameras pointing at them, you know how they like to cause trouble.

Climate Camp causes chaos for commuters

Yes, of course. Your average commuter route is far more important than, say, mass pollution and the right to protest.

Of course it isn’t but why then go out of their way to make an already difficult commute even harder? It doesn’t add any value or strengthen the climate change cause, it just pisses off tens of thousands of workers trying to get home. Ordinary people, who for the most part, need to be convinced by argument and logic, not by having their long days made worse by people shouting slogans in their faces and policed crowds blocking streets.

By “fu**ing off” the workers, it might just get the message through to the apathetic millions, whose compliance with the industrial system is a major part of the problem. Besides, standing outside a quarry with a placard won’t do much. In the 24-hour multimedia age, interest groups have to come up with more novel ways to grab attention.

What are you doing about global warming?

Are you merely agreeing that something needs to be done, but it’s someone else’s job?
