The idea of arresting increasing climate catastrophe has most recently been taken up by the Extinction Rebellion (XR) movement. XR represent a confrontational if disruptive demand to hold government accountable for the denial or dallying of their roles in practices shown to disrupt climate stability.

We will feel deeply
