Fascinating 30 minute audio segment on the BBC about whether mass protests help promote the public to action on climate change. Answer? Not likely. Why? Politics and our modern social media are altering the very reality of people. Political hallucination as I would call it. Check it out.
“As pandemic restrictions ease in many places, street protests are starting up again. But what happens when the public takes climate action into their own hands, from sticking themselves to diggers to bunking off school? Mass protests and demonstrations can be an effective way to gain media attention but do they lead to lasting change?”
