From Bryn Glover, Kirkby Malzeard, North Yorkshire, UK
I have campaigned for greater awareness of the social and political implications of climate change for at least three decades. I recall reading environmental writer Rachel Carson as a very young man. I greatly welcome the activities of Extinction Rebellion, and was pleased to read Vaughan’s viewpoint.
Throughout those decades, there has never been a year in which a real awareness of the imminence of big problems has been greater, due principally to the activities of this group and people such as Greta Thunberg. With a few exceptions, public reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
As long as these activists can keep the public onside, I predict that their activities will result in the necessary general acceptance of the need to act now.
