Climate campaigners camp in Place des Festivals
Campaigners for the climate have set up an encampment on the Place des Festivals. Among other things, they want to point out how quickly government moved to cope with the pandemic, thus demonstrating it can respond to crises if there’s the will.

Yup. Humans are really bad at long term thinking. If peoples’ short-term health is endangered then we have people clamouring to surrender freedoms to fight the virus. But when our long-turn health is endangered, meh, I couldn’t possibly give up my SUV or start using a reusable coffee mug, you’re just asking too many sacrifices! Imagine an alternate universe where cops haul someone out of Tim Hortons for failing to bring a reusable mug!

It’s ok Chris, with climate change coffee will probably no longer be a viable crop.
Besides, without SUVs how will all those cops get from their off-island homes to the police station so they can hop in a police issue cruiser or SUV and go bust heads?

I won’t want to live on this planet any more if coffee becomes non-viable.
