  Shouldn’t this be a problem that gets millions in funding. How many protestors are there willing to give up their time but not $5?

  I don’t understand the refusal by climate protesters to play the game that everybody from my dentist to the big industrial players play.

  How did climate protester’s somehow get convinced that standing in traffic and annoying the public is the best use of energy

    You really don't seem to understand just how big the wealth disparity between the entirety of humanity and the wealthiest 100 or even 1000 people on the planet is.

    Throwing what is essentially pocket change at those who serve the money hoarding monsters (our governments) is as useless as putting a band aid on a cancer.

    Oh, and never even mind that lobbying absolutely is bribery, the fact that you see it as a legitimate tool goes to show just how fucked we are.

    These lemmies saved the world with this one weird tip! Big Oil HATES them!

    But seriously, the above. Big Oil and corporate lobbyists in general don’t want you to know that lobbying can be done by the public, by making it so taboo that it makes good causes look bad if they lobby.
