Well they are getting what they wanted and our direction of travel is good, I am not sure other nations will care our roads are being blocked.

How about the: "the average temperature in the 24 hour cycle (why the f*** don't you have a word for that by the way?) is below 10 degrees for five straights days...day".
Is that catchy enough?

I guess that's what things like COP27 are supposed to be there for tho eh? A bit of naming and shaming and coercing into marginally improving
So you're saying the protests are working?

"Full day" works if you want clarity. also 24 hours, calendar day, whole day, entire day, also work if Day is too vague.
Yes yes of course it is possible to express it. But there's still not "a word" for it.

And customers keep supporting the commercial airline industry, taking both domestic, short and long haul flights.
Not at all, the direction was heading that way anyway, long before roads started getting blocked here.

They are a waste of time, this one has ended us paying billons we cant afford, whilst offending countries continue unbothered
I am not sure China/India/USA are bothered by words.

And who regulates the commercial airline industry?
What I meant is that people in the other countries (more polluting than ours) may decide that such activities provide publicity that keeps climate warming issues firmly near the front of media stories.

I'm sure the countries unbovvered by global warming will be immune to its effects then

Maldives are quite concerned about temperature rises and the consequences for sea levels. Maldives have opened new international airport this year.

That sounds like f*** all, but would double the average wholesale price. I think the efforts are going into storage of renewable generated power. Carbon capture is one thing, storage is another, and most carbon capture is sold and used in industry, ending up in the atmosphere anyway. We just need to stop adding back in to the cycle carbon that has been kept out of it for millions of years, and then try and get some of what we have pumped out back into solid form.

They will get bothered if EU increases tariffs or reduces quotas on produce from countries not making certain carbon per capita targets.
Anything we is pretty futile unless the Chinese start doing something
And world leaders and all their hangers on jetting all over the shop. Private jets to COP then onwards to the G20. FFS make these gigs like HM's funeral and everybody shares a coach.
And the Indians and the Yanks.
If Extinction Rebellion and their various offshots want to protest, they should go and glue themselves to, and throw random shit at, the Chinese Embassy. Protest against those that are REALLY causing the problem.
