"Why is climate activism so white ?"

[papasmurf]

Many aspects of life in Britain are near totally white.

Where I live anyone non-white is as rare as rocking horse poo and unicorns even in the tourist season.

Unless things have changed the only non whites at Glastonbury Festival are on the stages.

Yep, all middle class. Probably the same people who belong to the student socialist party and eat muesli for breakfast. I don't think it is a race issue, it's just the majority of the middle class are white. Despite the fact they spent three years at uni and either cost daddy a fortune, or built up a £30k debt, they are to stupid to realise their efforts are pointless. Living in a country  that only produces 4% of the world's emissions, and believing the planet will be OK if we drive expensive battery powered cars, and put up wind turbines, is naive to say the least.



Never mind, if corona virus doesn't kill us, and the planet doesn't turn on us, we will almost certainly  be living in an Islamic state fifty years from now. Fortunately I will be dead by then, but if I'm not, I sure will wish I am !
