2:27 pm
see every summer are becoming at least one degree hotter, and that also becoming more frequent and also lasting longer climate activists are threatening, more decisive action to proceed in action by government, a big business similar to the extinction, rebellion protest shut down parts of central london a few years ago. where fed up of, of hearing the rhetoric we made meaningful action. and if our leaders are incapable of doing that, they're not capable of getting off of a fossil fuel addiction, they're just doubling down on it and continuing to pursue new fossil fuel investments. continue to subsidize this home for industry. then we have to call them. we have to call them out, and education is kate. the public can also understand in the role of non violent civil resistance in this moment because everything house is found. climate scientists say the next decade will be defined by greater extremes of whether but
