Extinction Rebellion has started a worldwide campaign of civil disobedience in New Zealand's capital that will peak with a fortnight of protests in London.

New Zealand protesters have kicked off a global action campaign in Wellington, staging rallies and a CBD sit-in to support environmental protection.

Self-proclaimed"guerilla gran" Mary Rose, 80, travelled from Tauranga for the action, saying MBIE had been targeted for"its involvement in fossil fuel expansion". Another group travelled to the forecourt of New Zealand's parliament building, where a woman dressed in green breastfed a baby wearing an Extinction Rebellion beanie.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that figure, believed to be the highest number of protesters per capita in the developed world, made her"proud".

Pawns in a far bigger game.

They aren't actually doing anything to fight extinction though. If they were picking up rubbish on beaches, working with wildlife centres , the impact would actually be felt . Koalas main extinction problem is due to humans & habitat loss for residential development

So these domestic terrorists have decided to go global and disrupt legal trade. Wow. They must be getting idea's from HK.

My grandparents grew with the First World war. My parents, the WW2. I grew during the Cold war.... and are this kids losing their childhood fighting against mass extinction?! 🤔

lol

yawn

These desperate kids searching for an existential threat to give their empty souls some meaning. The Globalist Left seeking power at all costs is only too happy to provide a hysterical narrative. This tedious activism is getting really, really old. auspol ExtinctionRebellion

Chrissy Teigen is under fire for her ‘insensitive’ new tattooChrissy Teigen just got a new forearm tattoo and showed it off on Instagram. But some fans have reacted badly, calling it “insensitive”. I don’t believe that what people choose to do to their own bodies today, reflects poorly on a terrible time in history for many. This is a sign of love and adoration and taken in the spirit with which it’s intended is not disrespectful. Nothing can change the horrors sadly 🙏❤️ People need to grow up. It has a special meaning to her. Nothing offensive about birthday dates.
