A growing number of Europeans have decided that they've had enough of inaction in the face of the climate emergency, and they're in training to do something about it
This August, over 1,000 people gathered near the Alsatian town of Kingersheim, France to participate in the third edition of a two-week-long training camp put together by three environmental groups, Alternatiba, Friends of the Earth and ANV-COP21. Its climax was an elaborate exercise designed to simulate the disruption of a climate summit, attended by mock presidents Emmanuel Patron and Mickey Trump. A working lunch was organized for the faux-leaders and both had their own Twitter accounts .
Their first protest in London saw 1,500 demonstrators take over a square to mark their"Declaration of Rebellion against the UK Government." Barely six months later, in April 2019, 6,000 participated in an 11-day blockade of London's roads and bridges, generating a huge amount of publicity. Data provided to CNN by Extinction Rebellion shows their cumulative income jumped 500% in four months, climbing from under $270,000 to nearly $1.3 million between February and May 2019.
