I agree that the solutions and the protests of the greens, which focus on climate change, are not addressing the real issues of environmental destruction. Extinction Rebellion UK has a big march this Saturday to #EndFossilFuels. It is completely unhelpful. Even if fossil fuels were transitioned to something else (with it's own issues) we would still have loads of things to sort out. War being a major one. Like BLM protests are totally unhelpful and cause more separation, I think protesting about fossil fuels just makes more division, hardens opposition in those wanting to maintain the status quo and makes helpful debate or government action even less likely.
