Thousands of people have descended on central London for a “day of rebellion” in protest over the looming climate crisis.
People began massing on five bridges over the River Thames from 10am on Saturday. By 11.30am organisers said all five target bridges in central London had been occupied.
The move is part of a campaign of mass civil disobedience organised by a new group, Extinction Rebellion, which wants to force governments to treat the threats of climate breakdown and extinction as a crisis.

Climate Breakdown - National Days (plural) of Action.
I started referring to it as climate crisis awhile ago because I’m convinced that’s what it IS. This IS a CRISIS. Compounded and grossly aggravated by a multi-layered, multi-faceted Constitutional crisis.
Jen Bush once called trump “The Chaos Candidate”. Make that “The Crisis Candidate”. Or even “The Calamity Candidate.” A lot of his fans, the “Christianists”, undoubtedly believe in the “End Times”. Well, I’m wondering if maybe they’re excited about all this because they believe the “End Times” will bring about the return of The Messiah. I remember being horrified to hear Ronald Reagan’s Interior Secretary, the detestable cockeyed religious fanatic James Watt, stating our loud, on the record, that ”when the last tree is felled, Jesus will come back.” The INTERIOR SECRETARY said that. And felt that. And believed that. And meant that in all seriousness.
What’s scary for me now is that we’ve got a so-called vice pResident who’s a religious fanatic. Right now.
