>Without breaking laws and causing public nuisance India would still be part of the British Empire and African Americans would still be second class citizens.

Every protest isn't the equivalent of India fighting for independence.

>Climate change is a vastly more serious problem than either of those two.

Fortunately, you don't get to decide which issues are "most important" to other people.

Unfortunately with climate change nobody gets to decide, because physics decides for us.

So, you're saying global extinction isn't important?

It's a tough line to swallow from the GP, but I wasn't expecting anyone to disagree that human effected climate change was important. Surely it's the most important issue humans have faced, ever?

Problems can be profoundly serious and important in their own right, without needing to be ranked against one another.

Doing that just leads to emotion-charged-but-pointless arguments.

Global extinction? No, we shouldn’t make trillion dollar policy decisions based on fairy tales.
