Abstrakt: The article discusses the perspectives of climate activists Rupert Read and Liam Kavanagh, who advocate for peaceful resistance to climate change. They argue that governments, particularly in the UK, are repressing peaceful civil disobedience that disrupts daily life. The activists believe that their cause will only be noticed if they disrupt activities that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. They emphasize the need for a mainstream climate movement that includes people from diverse backgrounds and political affiliations. The activists stress the importance of truthfulness about the climate crisis and updating the mainstream narrative to reflect the urgency of the situation. The Climate Majority Project promotes collective action, shared understanding, and support for those affected by climate anxiety. They advocate for collaboration with businesses and local communities to achieve necessary policy changes and adaptation measures. The project aims to create a depolarized and inclusive movement for a sustainable future. [Extracted from the article]
