VW are not going to decarbonise the German transport sector whilst those protestors are there. That's a multi year job.

Well, they can't, because they've glued themselves to the cars! What a bunch of numpties. I wonder if they are really scientists - anyone can don a white coat.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

My parody meter broke beyond repair during the Truss years... oh wait.... days
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.
