Use these fun words in your entry today: learn, quarrel, register, barrier, pan, night, stock, scream, and me.

I have no quarrel with people who feel strongly about climate change enough protest. But instead of registering their concerns so as to not upset or inconvenience people going about their business, they form a barrier on highways preventing traffic from moving for hours.
A young mother about to give birth was forced to do so on the side of the road because she was unable to get to the hospital. Her scream of anguish still didn’t make the protesters clear the road.
If it was up to me, I’d make the penalties greater than they are when groups such as Extinction Rebellion cause harm or sometimes even death to innocent citizens trying to go about their business.
I think these groups need to learn their actions are hurting others and although everyone knows they are doing their protesting to get the attention of the government and do so coming from a good place, could they sleep soundly at night if their actions caused the deaths of a mother and her baby?
They ought to take stock and reconsider their actions. There has to be a better way to help the earth other than causing even more stress to the overworked, underpaid citizens who are trying to get by day to day.
Climate change is a problem for the world. There are few now who don’t believe and governments all over the world are attempting to lower emissions caused by human behaviours.
When one thinks of the great highways around the world such as The Pan-American Highway a network of roads stretching across the Americas, measuring about 30,000 kilometres (19,000 mi) in total length. How can groups such as Extinction Rebellion hope to make a difference to the damage human beings are causing?
