"Now we've got your attention. By neglecting to communicate the consequences of a 4C world - war, famine, drought, displacement - the Government are failing to protect us," reported the media house quoting XR activist and teacher Sarah Mintram as saying. The Topless Extinction Rebellion in a tweet said that 4C increase in the temperature of the world would cause the death of millions.
The RX restarted its protests in Britain last week. On September 5, Extinction Rebellion activists blockaded two printworks to disrupt the distribution of newspapers. Earlier this week, Home Secretary Priti Patel called the activists of the group as eco-crusaders turned criminals.
