No. Just people who dont want to think about the consequences of a climate crisis feel the urge to hate such people

Every reasonable human relates with the message they send.

There is a word for the former.... right. Ignorant.

They don't even directly reference climate, but

What's the most important thing?" they shouted. "Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?"

They added: "Our farming system is sick. Our farmers are dying at work."

French farmers have been protesting and threatening roadblocks around Paris this month, demanding better pay and living conditions, Reuters reported.

I fully agree we should be doing a lot more against climate change. The whole world should be.

That said these kind of protesters always look like clowns to me. Especially when their 'protest' is just to inconvenience the general public by blocking roads or pouring coloured liquid on something. You're not solving anything just being a cunt.

You can still dislike these people if you don't think they are making a difference. If they are not achieving results, these actions are just a detriment for everyone.

The “normal” forms of protest just don’t cut it anymore. When is the last time you’ve heard about one, let alone seen one? It’s a (relatively) harmless shout for attention for a very dire problem.

the german farmers did a "normal" protest (with roadblocks and running over police officers) and instantly got the politicians to act in their favor.
