Remember when climate scientists were telling the other members of their cult to not be crazy, because it makes it really hard to get people on board? XR tends not to listen

Topless Women Protest ‘Climate Rape’ in London on International Women’s Day

A group of 31 women formed a topless human chain in London to protest against climate change on International Women’s Day. (Warning: explicit images.)

Members of the climate change alarmist group Extinction Rebellion (XR) took off their shirts on Waterloo Bridge, blocking traffic in an protest against the supposedly disparate impact that climate change has on women. The protestors painted slogans on their chests such as “climate rape” and “climate murder”.

A former teacher who took part in the protest, Sarah Mintram, explained the rationale behind the topless protest, saying: “It’s mainly women in poorer countries in the global south that are experiencing the increase in violence but this will be the reality for all women if the climate and ecological crisis continues to go unaddressed.”

Well, that’s interesting, since none of these women are underprivileged or live in poorer countries. Nor does a tiny increase in carbon dioxide nor a minor 1.5F increase in 170 years cause violence against women. Oh, and the same type of uber-leftist multicultural/diversity type people blocking the bridge topless and yammering about violence against women are the same ones who cause the UK government to turn a blind eye to the rape and grooming gangs in the UK, the ones from Muslim nations.

“We are here to raise the alarm about what is happening to our sisters around the world and to tell women in the UK the climate and ecological emergency is your issue – it will affect you as a woman if we do not persuade our government to take urgent action starting now,” Mintram told the Metro.

If that was true, what will this protest do? Instead of yammering and taking their tops off (and some really needed to leave them on) why not do actual work to help? Why is it always Someone Else who must do this?

The climate change protest group has plagued London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) for years, costing the capitol’s police force an estimated  £37 million last year alone. The cost associated with policing Extinction Rebellion was more than double the annual budget for the Violent Crime Taskforce, which is only £15 million.

Imagine what $48.5 million could have been used for to help women in the UK.

The climate emergency is a women’s emergency.

We are here to highlight the increase in hardship, violence & rape already facing women in the global south as a result of the climate & ecological emergency. #ExtinctionRebellion #XRsupportIWD #EachForEqual #InternationalWomensDay pic.twitter.com/76gLdQd2wt
