No, you’re far too kind. An underground coal mine in China would be best…tell them smoking is permitted everywhere in China and stand back.
If that’s too cruel just end them to Africa to see what hunger in the real world looks like.
Alastair, I’ll go you one better, send them to the toxic rare earth material mines and manufacturing plants in China where they make the precious renewable energy!
I can pick born again cobalt miners a mile away.
This must have been a privilege and delight to have so many evolved super-beings visiting. She must feel quite special and important. I hear they perspire superglue and quip immature sentiments when you pull their string! Assembled Knights of the Order of the Stupor, set your frowns to very-naughty and say as one, “How dare you!”
ER videos and interviews give the impression that these folk are a little unsure what they are supposed to be about. Their weirdly calm, ‘reasonable’ demeanor and empty phraseology has a zombie/ opioid aspect. Compare the Gilêts Jaunes anger or Black Lives Matter folk.
I would feel perfectly safe but terminally bored if I went to discuss whatever the issues might be with these polite quiet ineffectual people. They seem to have recognized this fecklessness in themselves by glomming onto the climate meme. Climate wasn’t their original schtick.
I guess they just showed their “Left-Wing Nut” pass to the her security people.
They same pass that got them into the halls during the Kavanaugh hearings.
(In the entertainment industry such are called a “Staged Pass”.)
Then they droves their SUVs home to heat and light and fossil fuels. FLAMING HYPOCRITES
They drink salt water with the emotional calm and sense of pleasantness of drinking fine wine. They look well fed and relaxed, as if they are at a party being held in a wealthy friend’s house.
All this is put forth in the name of doing something useful, but I guess this is how terminal idiots party.
They can do it for a few hours for fun, just to feel good about something, but then they go home to their many civilized comforts to eat a hardy meal, enjoy the heat and safety of their privileged surroundings, as they rest up and get bored again to stage the next social-justice … “protest” or … “hunger strike” … or other thing that they choose to defile a word meaning to describe.
What’s the bad news?
Hunger strike, huh? I think I’d order a pizza, maybe some burgers. How about an office barbeque?
This is just too rich . . . assuming it’s not a staged stunt, under Adam Schiff’s new definition, Pelosi will be offering them a bribe if she agrees to meet with ER representatives in return for them vacating her Senate office.
You can’t make this stuff up!
N.B. For all WUWT readers outside the US who may not follow US national news all that closely, Adam Schiff is a Democratic Party representative in Congress currently chairing the House impeachment inquiry proceedings concerning President Trump.
Thanks, I did wonder.
What most offends me about these types, is that they seem to think they are so virtuous that their opinion matters more than yours or mine.
Instead they want to bypass the democratic process. They are queue jumpers! (Or “line jumpers” if you prefer.)
They would get a lot more respect from me if they simply formed a political party, campaigned on the basis of their beliefs, and accepted the verdict of the electorate
Like the Blues Brothers they are on a mission from God
When you are right it excuses any action
the cry of the zealot over centuries as they went on crusades or witch hunting etc
In other news: the libs at the NYT have found a new way to justify their jetsetting ways. I guess they never thought to apply the same argument toward coal plants.

These people are not activists. With this action they are clearly terrorists and should be dealt with as such.
ER should ALL go on unlimited hunger strike !
ACT NOW !
No. Give up water and eat rabbits in Australia only. Resolves two problems at once.
This is a clear example of people too wealthy to think or worry about anything else. I wonder if they would think differently if they traded places with someone mining cobalt in The Congo?
Me thinks not!
Good grief, what is wrong with you America?
Obviously, this is staged – no security, allowing a trespasser to paste an XR sticker on your tie, etc.. It was too calm. The staff seemed to join in, provide them with water and even laugh with them.
Drinking a half teaspoon of “salt” in a champagne glass of water – seriously? How did that taste? Judging by the lack of reaction, I don’t think it was salt.
Also, note the accents of the English contingent, upper-middle class, the sort of person who goes to uni and studied drama because Daddy’s allowance pays for their “hard work”.
I would ask them if they are OK and if they have made their last will and testament.
Obviously the dumbfek MSM give them all the attention that they crave.
If she wants to do something to help the overpopulation problem in california then she should wait to go back to her office until they are all dead. Such action would help keep others from doing the same thing. Of course she has no power over climate anyway.
Let them starve!
err isnt she s buddy of AOC?
all for the green ripoff deal?
These people are obviously sincere and willing to exert a serious effort towards what they think is a just cause.
Since we are having a climate optimum, not a crisis, they are being completely counterproductive because they were misled by their climate religion high priests.
Too bad. There are hundreds of worthy causes to help the less fortunate in this world that they could be connected authentically to, where their efforts would be productive and make the world a better place.
That’s the saddest thing about the fake climate crisis. Wasted resources on a non problem with solutions that would all make the human condition on our planet worse, while doing zero to affect the weather and climate……which has been the best in the last 1,000 years on this greening planet.
This is getting to be an annual thing, it was just last Nov. that a group of young environmental activists were occupying Nancy’s office with a list of demands.
This is your free sample of Dem’s stage play and mind games. They have a lot more for like robocalling of messaging.
How long can civilized people coexist peacefully with increasingly radical and increasingly violent behavior?
At least in the States, the police aren’t on the side of the nut jobs as much as it appears they are in Britain. Police cover up of thousands of gang rapes by muslim immigrants is incredibly evil. (for articles, search on Duck Duck Go…Google won’t work). Have the Brits become willing to sacrifice their daughters to the Leftist madness? Back in the 1960’s these raping criminals would have often “come up missing”. Today they come up PROTECTED !!
Unbelievable madness.
To go much LOWER and DEGENERATE would require a repeat of early Nazi Germany. Seriously. No exaggeration. Societies that tolerate the gang rape of their young girls by the thousands are way closer than is comfortable to a society willing to perform a few thousand…then million “CLEANSING” executions.
Google appears to be complicit in the cover up.
Google “gang rape England” then do the same search on DUCK DUCK GO. The difference in the search results is alarming.
Although if you simply google “Rotherham grooming gang” you will find all the MSM reporting on the story.
Yes, the authorities were crap at their jobs, but the lowlife that carried out these appalling crimes were convicted (and still are being caught and convicted), and hopefully are getting the treatment they deserve in prison.
At least in the States, the police aren’t on the side of the nut jobs as much as it appears they are in Britain
Depends on the state/county. Go to Portland, and you’ll find the police (or at least the orders they have to follow from the mayor) are on the nut jobs side (or at least don’t lift a finger to stop them).
