Two premiers have questioned the effectiveness of protesters to stop climate change as thousands of activists disrupted major cities in a bid to force governments to declare a climate emergency.

But Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's office questioned their methods for saving the planet, adding her government regularly spoke out on climate change and had a 50 per cent renewable energy target for 2050."The question to those blocking roads would be what are they doing?" a spokesman said on Tuesday.Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews commented in a similar vein, saying, "I don't know that shutting the city down necessarily wins you many friends".

In Sydney, protesters dressed as bees "swarmed" Sydney's Hyde Park to demand "our leaders take strong action on climate change so that we have a future in farming in this country". More than 20 protesters were arrested in Brisbane on Tuesday including Paul Jukes, who suspended himself below Story Bridge in a hammock to urge the premier to declare a climate emergency.
