Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of central London on Monday, blockading some of the UK capital's busiest roads and bridges, and gluing themselves to street furniture, to raise the alarm over a mounting climate crisis

On Monday morning, a group of demonstrators with trees, plants and solar panels in tow barricaded Waterloo Bridge, one of five locations being targeted by environmental campaigners in the city as part of the protest, which is expected to continue for at least a week.

A demonstrator bangs a drum during a climate protest in London's Parliament Square.'Force the government to tell the truth'Anna Burton, from Lancashire in northwest England, said she came to Marble Arch on the corner of London's Hyde Park to call on big businesses to go carbon neutral and demand a better ecological future for her children. "I've come to force the government to tell the truth about climate change, the extent of the damage ...

I sure hope all the first responders respect their rights to protest, to choose and to practice self-determination by LEAVING them there.

Thank God they weren't doing this street blocking horseshit in Paris the same day or NotreDame would've completely burnt to the ground NotreDameCathedral NotreDameFire

When do the establishment support protest? When protestors tell you you're living too large, and need to tighten your belly. So we'll be introducing planet-saving taxes to cut your lifestyle down you plebs.

Glue what happens when they have to go to the bathroom that could be embarrassing

FakeNews promotion of Peak Leftist Delusion there is NO 'mounting' FIFY Climate Change is a Fraud Just Like Global Warming FIFY

Take that noise to China, homie

😂😂😂. That’ll show them.

All the left has to do is act stupid and you report it like it’s legitimate news.

Seems tome that the Extinction Rebellion is doing their level best to live up to their name.

How stupid! The only thing that will help the earth is less people! Mass extermination of humans is needed!

Because that's going to help the environment or something like that 🙄

Yes, nothing says 'save the planet' like industrial-strength, toxic glue!

wackadoodles gonna wackadoodle

While glued to something, a refugee ransacks their home.....😉

Keep all the morons glued and locked to stuff.

Why do leftists think marches w pointless gestures like gluing themselves to stuff or dressing up as vagina = a “profound statement”? They just come off as childish, spoiled adolescents incapable of rational discussion & intolerant of differing viewpoints.Bc they are.

Lick them up

Good thing someone came up with a solution. 👍

lol

Hope the glue is environmentally friendly and they clean it up afterwards.. Nah, we all know they'l leave the place trashed, just like every other time.

'gluing themselves to furniture' These are serious people.

Look at all that sciency stuff, yowza

🛑hysteria

Mountains were formed by land masses pushing on each other. Islands were formed by magma spewing from an equally violent natural phenomenon. Water levels used to be 20’ higher and icebergs used to not exist. (1/2)

Propping up the glue industry which contributes to green house gases emissions. Makes total sense libidiots.

Thank God for 1776

I'm visualizing the next day with socks and underwear glued to the park benches. Will be quite a sight, but I'm not sure it'll be conveying quite the message that they think.

Glue?

Yawn

Brainwashing in section!!

Surely if you glue yourself to street furniture, that's now your problem because it certainly isn't mine and I'd leave you there to solve it for yourself. By all means voice your concerns but don't be an idiot.

So let's get this right, these morons will demonstrate about climate change by creating miles of traffic jams... Makes perfect sense

Global cooling is a big problem as the solar minimum will take everyone's mind off this global warming lie. Its all about taxing and controlling people.

Climate change is as old as the earth, billions of years. Boring cause and idiotic

Go to work like the rest of the Londoners that you’re going inconveniencing. That’s not going to get them to support your cause, In fact it’s the opposite effect...

Lol pathetic

If they are serious about it and care about the Earth, they should glue themselves the ocean floor.

Creating pollution to combat “climate change”

Couldn't they do something productive like pick up trash from the streets, or even volunteer with major cleanup efforts? This is pointless

Why don’t they go to China and India the BIGGEST polluters in the world? Go to Tiananmen Square and lay on the floor and pray the Red army tanks don’t squash you!!!

Fools...

Seems legit...

Can’t wait to see how much of their own trash they pick up after they waste everyone’s time being a glued piece of furniture.....you know, for the well being of climate change and all.... 🤨

'gluing themselves to street furniture'... Just leave them there.

Totally understandable! We must do something, our children’s future depends on it. ClimateActionNow

That sounds pretty stupid. But it's a climate protest, so I'm really just repeating myself. It would just be a real shame if some of them got run over. Just tragic.

Cult.

Why don’t you cover US protests on border crisis?

That should make people wanna give half of their paycheck to the government so that they can control the climate. 😐

There is no crisis. Go home people.

Huh. This is the first I’ve heard about climate change.

Glad Im back home. They definitely have some serious angst going on in that country. Unlike us, marrying trees.

More fake news CNN there is NO climate crisis its as fake as the colution claim you pushed for 2 years

And when they are done littering the floor , they board a train or cab that uses gas. Dumbo's

Soros'ian Rebellion

I'll start listening to climate change people when they stop being hypocrites. The litter they produce at events, the carbon they expend traveling to these locations. Not very inspiring.

And here I assumed most Brits were fairly intelligent! I assumed wrong..

Sounds like a waste of time, maybe they should... idk... NOT glue themselves to furniture and NOT ruin people’s commute to work?

Please use Crazy Glue bare ass it will make for great comedy!

Ho much time to wait?I 😂

Dear Brothers & Sisters, Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs ARE MOST SEVERE CRISIS THAN YOUR CLIMATE. Oh......Got it !! You don't want to lose your freedom that's why ....you don't want to FOCUS on this Crisis.....OK....GO AHEAD....CARRY ON.....

What crisis? Mother Nature creates the climate. You can’t stop her.

They should be more worried about failed BREXIT and growing Muslim immigrant populations

Climate change is a myth

Liberalism is an international mental disorder.

They’ve been watching our crazy folks here.

Meanwhile ..over in the USA.....the National Navel Gazing Day will be celebrated on the same day.

What is “street furniture”? Are there places in London where couches, chairs and end tables are just a normal part of an intersection?

I'm pretty sure this will save the polar bears.

lunatics

The people who claim to care so much about climate change wouldn’t suffer the slightest discomfort to mitigate it

Haha, climate change.

so CNN says the hell with reporting on the 5 yr old that was thrown from the balcony at the mall of America. Oh, I know why the child was white. Sorry if doesn't fit your agenda

RIP everyone trying to get to work on that day.
