The trouble is Climate litigation is BOOMING & these activist & their organisations are successfully winning 'Green Lawsuits' court cases against corporations & governments all over the world.
Governments are legally bound to reduce fossil fuel emissions & these people know it.

That doesn't really indicate anything materially useful nor deserve approval or disapproval from others. I went and filled up 3 off 5L cans yesterday and saw a few people looking at me with disapproval whilst they squeezed every last drop possible into their cars. Of course what they don't know is that I have not put fuel in any of the cars for about 6 weeks and have a lawn to cut which uses over 10 litres plus there is some brushcutting to be done to prepare the sheepfield for this year's lambs.

Seems they are gluing themselves to people's cars now:

Not quite sure what my reaction would be if they attached themselves to mine?
