    Don’t worry, probably they are going to jail for protesting. Soon we won’t have any more rabble disturbing the blissful zen of self extinction.

    Under a new law, the protesters risk up to six months of jail time.

      I can’t believe all these people who still don’t get it. We are so fucked. It’s not even a joke at this point, we are completely fucked as far as curbing climate change.

      These protestors didn’t even cause any damage, they just made a slight convenience and now they’re going to go to jail for up to 6 months.

      Meanwhile, we continue to have record carbon emissions year after year. It’s as if people using paper straws isn’t enough or something…

      Which is taking things too far indeed (the jail sentences), I agree with you on that.
