There is a big difference between the suffragette movement and the USA civil rights movement and what we are seeing here. Both the instances you quote were capable of human determination, and, in comparative terms, quite simply. The UK is one of the leaders in trying to minimise human contribution to climate change, but a bunch of protesters trying to bring London to its knees won’t have the slightest effect on the process. In many ways what they are doing is counterproductive in that not only are they actually making a contribution to the problem, as many here have already highlighted, but by showing their contempt for ordinary people’s ordinary lives they risk creating a backlash, especially when they pitch their protest at one of the least culpable nations rather than targeting the really heavy polluters
