If it helps, there's no phrase that will clear a climate blockade quicker than the words 'blue lights!'

I've watched a blocked bridge clear and reset six times for various ambulances over the course of the day.

The activists really are humanitarians, despite the media portrayal.

@Dale_Phe @Hello57 Blue lights on an ambulance is different than you taking your child to the hospital in your car, may it be emergency or not. You don't have blue lights and they won't clear for you.
We had roads before internal combustion engines were available, we will need them after they are phased out. Individual transportation is a necessity.
The activits also jam the road for people that do care and run their electric car on solar power. no exceptions.

@buraksbeigeboxes @Hello57
Then you're misinterpreting the actions entirely, it isn't a protest against cars.

The point of civil disobedience is to disrupt daily life on behalf of a given issue. Disruption escalates the issue from the back of the public's mind to the forefront and pressures policy makers to act.

In this case, temporary, climate oriented disruptions now are designed to avoid more cataclysmic disruptions in the future. The sooner we act, the less it'll hurt.
