Climate Change Fanatic Inconsistency: Gottcha! By Jimmy “Smokin’’ Reed
Climate change activists have burnt an Australian flag in protest about …carbon emissions. Now wait a minute! Burning a flag results in the emission of greenhouse gases doesn’t it? Oh, they will say, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. Yes, but that is exactly the same reasoning used by the elites fly 400 private jets to the COP whatever talk fest. Just ask Princess Greta about this one!
“Notorious climate activists have burned an Australian flag on the steps of the Victorian Parliament and declared Australia a 'climate pariah'.
The 'rebels' demanded more action from the government, private enterprise, and Prime Minister Scott Morrison as the COP26 Summit in Glasgow approaches.
As one of the Extinction Rebellion activists waved the scorched national flag, another made an impassioned speech outside the government building.
Other protests were launched in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Canberra ahead of the climate change conference which is being attended by Mr Morrison.
Britain is hosting the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow from October 31 to November 12.
The conference will aim to bring countries together to work towards the goals of the Paris Agreement of 2015 and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Extinction Rebellion members recently launched a new website dedicated to providing an 'alternative view' to coverage of the COP26 Summit.
COP26.tv states its mission is to 'explain why reaching net-zero carbon by 2050 is too late and to listen to voices from the "global south"'.
The global environmental movement declares climate action is needed by 2030.
A video on the site features a call to arms from environmental campaigner George Monbiot who warns the earth faces the possible collapse of our life systems.
Mr Monbiot said people around the world were gathering in large numbers to urge world leaders to do more to combat the climate crisis.
'Time is running out. It is time for us to push our governments to do the right thing. It's not too late. We still have the capacity to do it,' the campaigner urged.
In Sydney, activist Larissa Payne - wearing a colourful headpiece made of flowers - stood at the top of a tall ladder on Macquarie Street outside the Opera House.
Police officers were forced to coax the protestor down from the ladder which hung a sign reading: 'COP26: Decolonise to survive'.
At one point the lone activist lit a bright orange flare and waved it above her head.
In Brisbane, four Extinction Rebellion protestors were arrested after they padlocked themselves to a kayak on the William Jolly Bridge near the city's CBD on Monday.
The climate activists parked a ute across two lanes at the intersection of the bridge and Coronation Drive causing delays for motorists trying to enter the city.
The protestors locked their arms into metal pipes attached to the kayak and were eventually removed by police, the Courier Mail reported.
One of the four who claimed to be an environmental scientist said the group was protesting Australia's net-zero target.
