    I’m pretty sure the point of these protests is not to make an immediate impact on statistic you pull out. They know better than that. It’s about the big picture. It’s about raising awareness of environmental problems and keeping them at the forefront of people’s minds. It’s about reminding people what’s at stake. The details of how much emissions they saved that day are irrelevant; it’s about taking action.

      Also about giving other angry and worried people a nidus to work around. It’s too easy to feel angry and alone,. protests show that you’re not alone and.others are taking action.

      Sitting back and politely listening to warnings has done less than nothing
