Uniformed officers were seen dragging several Extinction Rebellion group demonstrators from outside London City Airport, although there was no immediate official tally of arrests.

Campaigners, some of them in business suits, also staged a sit-in on the platform of the nearby overground train station.

Others unfurled the group’s trademark pink banner showing an hourglass — a symbol of time running out to save the planet from a “climate emergency”.

The year-old group backed by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg is spearheading a two-week global action that kicked off Monday with partial shutdowns of traffic in cities stretching from Sydney to New York.

In Berlin, protesters blocked a bridge overlooking the Reichstag building.

In London, airport officials said it has managed to remain “fully open and operational” by limiting entrance to the main terminal to ticketed passengers.

“We continue to work closely with the Metropolitan Police to ensure the safe operation of the airport,” it said in a statement.

London police reported making 800 arrests in the first three days of protests that included campaigners glueing themselves to the pavement and chaining themselves to cars.

– ‘Extermination of life’ –


Extinction Rebellion had announced it was planning a “Hong Kong-style” occupation of London City Airport because of the small hub’s ongoing expansion plans.

It lies some three miles (five kilometres) east of the Canary Wharf business district — one of Britain’s main financial centres — and the nearby bustling City of London.

“We are in the streets to make our governments #ActNow and end their complicity in the extermination of life,” Extinction Rebellion tweeted as its members were hauled away.

treehuggers,

were going to destroy the planet, only question is when,

Every time someone mentions destroying the planet, I always think of this guide:

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.
Fools.
The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.
This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.
This is a guide for those who do not want the Earth to be there anymore.

I kind of agree with this. We'll end up destroying ourselves and perhaps a few species etc first . But Earth will continue, cleanse and evolve. In a million years mother earth will vaguely remember us much like that mozzie bit me on the ear ...

although the surface will be a lot more radioactive, due to all the nuclear waste we've dumped
or more accuratly, all the nuclear waste pools catching fie when there no longer cooled and the rods are exposed to the air.

so the next species after us will be much more tolerant to radiation than humans.
and anything that evolves will be much more radiation tolerant than right now.

The Extinction Rebellion mob are nothing more than delinquent, privileged hippies, and bored trust fund kids who need to get real jobs. All beta males and fugly fems.

When reality and SJW worriers clash (seems I have cause to use this deliberate type a lot of late).

What gets my goat: Yes, we all have rights. But those rights end when it affects others adversely. These SJW seem to always omit that small vital part. So it begs the question: Why should we as civilized (sometimes) society respect their rights if they don't respect ours? Throw them in jail for violation of human rights - ours. Theirs is not more important.
