The link goes to something about extinction rebellion. I'm never clicking a FB (whatever that was) link again. FB is just awful, unlike the contributions here.

Extinction rebellion looks like the environmental movement for white supremacists.

They want the UK government to pretend that climate change is a huge emergency.
Good distraction, once you realize you can not solve or are unwilling to solve the actual problems of society, just make up a new fake non existent problem, waste time and resources on solving the made up problem to feel some sense of accomplishment.

Well oil pan would if we all become richer fighting climate change? Or do you just hate the idea of anything that would cause fossil fuels to go away?

In what way is that an argument for Supremacism? I'd avoid that label as it is used by the regressive Left to disparage everyone from the center rightward. Got milk?

Yeah,those lucky folks who were killed or injured in the record tornadoes over the weekend are loving the fake emergency.

All ?

A few are becoming richer because of it.
Most are losing.

Technically, I believe we would be richer. That's how we get to today's conditions, ignore the environment for the sake of profit.

Fyi. I'm not a tree hugger.

I'm becoming richer bidding fairwell to fossil fuels.
The nissan leaf with home CHAdeMO and wiring in massive over kill of 240v charging capacity to the garage is saving me $150 to $200 per month in gas.
My wood stove and coal furnace saved me $50 to $100 in electricity just November.
The solar panels I'm putting up will reduce my power bill around $40 per month.
My well will eliminate my $50 water bill, not really fossil fuel related but involves me getting richer.
Next summer I figure out how to wire and plumb in my hot water heater heat pump, should at least cut my water heater power requirements at least in half.

Most everyone else can expect to get poorer.
Gas prices go up, something like 80% to 90% of people say they can't or won't or can't go electric most people are buying gas guzzlers. Oh well, their loss.
Electricity will get more expensive and will get much more expensive if the believers, nimby and other useful idiots have their way. The vast majority of people can't put up solar panels for some reason or another.
Most people can't or won't use a wood stove, electrical natural gas and liquid heating fuels will just get more and more expensive over time.
Water is getting harder to get, just ask California. I got a 16 inch bore well that is certified to pump 100gpm.

Unfortunately you speak from experience, right?
