    The protesters from the group Extinction Rebellion hung banners on the skyscraper in midtown Manhattan on Saturday and on the outside of the Port Authority Bus Terminal across the street.

    The protesters were taken into police custody after they lay down on Eighth Avenue and blocked traffic. Charges are pending.

    A spokeswoman for Extinction Rebellion, Eve Mosher, says the group wants the media to report on “the climate emergency” so that “people can start pushing for more radical responses.”

    Man made climate change like evolution is one fat sceintfic hoax.

    1) who says it’s not cyclical
    2) who says it’s due to higher co2 emissions? The whole proof is based on correlation
    3) who says men can fix it unless we go back to the stone ages
    4) Are there really more storms and natrual disasters or are there just more humans and more news media to report the tragedies?
    This is not real science like human biology . This is voddoo science based on theories

    I can see many parallels between these protestors and the Charedim in protesting in the streets of Jerusalem.
