London police say more than 710 people have been arrested and some 28 have been charged since climate change protests began earlier this week in the British capital.

Police speak to a demonstrator on the main thoroughfare on Waterloo Bridge in central London, Saturday April 20, 2019. Climate protesters with the environmental pressure group Extinction Rebellion are once again shutting down parts of London using civic disobedience to urge residents and government to do more to protect the Earth from rising temperatures.

The Extinction Rebellion protests started Monday and have at times paralyzed parts of London, with peaceful demonstrations at Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Circus and other key landmarks. Protesters were out again Saturday, urging the British government to make fighting climate change its top priority. London police have taken a cautious approach rather than a massive show of force to remove the demonstrators, saying they respect the right to peaceful protest.

They still had to ask neighboring forces for some 200 additional officers to help cope with the situation, and many officers had their weekend leaves cancelled.

Can’t wait to see pictures of all the “disposable” plastic and disgusting trashy mess they leave behind.

I’m thinking the British government doesn’t want what France has, yellow jacket fever.

Thank you for protesting.

Lock them up

Man CANNOT change the climate. We are just not that powerful. Tilt of the earth, our elliptical orbit, solar storms and flairs and the rate of decay of earth's isotopes control the climate. Man made change is just a lie to gain more control over the people, especially Americas.

Are climate protagonists so clueless to Europe Yellow Vest movement? France and other countries burning due to high tax Paris Accord; no accountability money goes! Schools indoctrinate students no dialog; parents show your kids reality human survival: .

They’re an extremists All of them must be fined

Good. This climate craziness needs to end. Citizens are acting like lemmings. It is an absurd issue.

I wonder what the ancestors of some of these people would say about individuals now trying to slow down conversations/implementations of change. Individuals who have no billions to protect or major shares in industries rooted in the 19th & 20th centuries, just regular people.

Very concerned about the message. We should talk more and respect the Scientifist when they say we are commiting planet suicide and leave politics aside.

This protest like others isn’t against the police. It’s against gov officials lack of responsibility and concern about these issues. You don’t want to act like you don’t care. That would be a sign of paranoia. Which means you don’t care anyway.

that's called fascism
