Seem to me that the obvious answer would be to hold a fire drill. Hundreds of people coming past them from behind - some of whom would presumably take out their frustration on them one way or another - might make them rethink their strategy.
Which is a very valid point. They are showing absolutely f
k all consideration towards the safety of other people.
Some famous people know to have had or suspected to have had aspergers includes Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Benjamin Franklin, Bobby Fischer, Isaac Newton etc etc

There's quite a few people that were famous that didn't have Aspergers and quite a few that have Aspergers that aren't famous too. https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/aspergers/famous...
I think we recognise Aspergers can sometimes be useful in terms of mental function however the obverse is equally true, especially if allied to other conditions. I would certainly hesitate to consider 'Pippa' alongside Sir Isaac Newton et al, although she is undoubtedly intelligent, but would ascribe her popularity more to those general malaises we suffer from at the moment as a society - gullibility and mob-mentality. If I was a cynic I would also say that it is an unattackable 'useful idiot' scenario for opposition parliamentarians to use for their own ends. I'm sure it isn't though. They wouldn't be so cynical themselves, would they...?

If the true (properly bad) effects of global warming will become reality in, say, 90 years then surely most of the protesters will be dead by then anyway ?
The best thing people can do is stop breeding. Then the problem will self correct and Earth will be fine - just without humans on it.
We are the problem. I'm afraid us stopping pro-creating is the ONLY solution. The planet is screwed otherwise. Are we smart enough that we would do that for the sake of the planet ? It really is that simple.

To stop 'over-breeding' we have to address the issues amongst populations that have more than 2 kids on average per couple. The best thing people can do is stop breeding. Then the problem will self correct and Earth will be fine - just without humans on it.

The reasons they do this are: 1. infant mortality 2. future parental care 3. educational/religious/contraception 4. child labour, so it exists primarily in developing countries rather than the west - over-breeding slows the richer you are, as then you get more betterer educated, better health care, a welfare system, exploitation laws/wage rises etc.
So on one hand we want to dismantle the capitalist system (as per Extinction] and on the other introduce it to the bottom 40 countries (meaning using more resources that we want to stop using...).
Oh - and change Catholic contraceptive dogma.
Simples.
