But London is the epicenter, and the city has never seen anything like it.
There is such a cognitive dissonance in this world between those who are fighting to stop climate change with the Extinction Rebellion, and those who are actively encouraging it, like the Alberta politicians who were elected yesterday, ready to battle for pipelines and against carbon taxes. They should be looking instead at what is happening in London and even New York City, as people rise up to deliver the message that something must be done.
The police have a role to "facilitate peaceful protest", yet I've just been sent this image of an army of police heading to Parliament Square to apparently "clear out" #ExtinctionRebellion
We have a democratic right to protest and the police must respect it. pic.twitter.com/yCfdMHGmHN
