Extinction Rebellion mocked for 'trying to hide' diesel generator in protest camp
EXTINCTION REBELLION has been mocked after a video surfaced of the group powering one of its camps using pollution-emitting diesel generators.

Unverified footage has emerged of an Extinction Rebellion camp that appears to be in Berlin using what appears to be a diesel generator for power. The large machine was covered by wooden pallets in an apparent attempt to hide it despite the loud whirring noise. The original footage was posted by German politician Alice Weidel. Sharing the clip, which has been viewed a total of 1.3 million times on Twitter, with her 81.3 thousand followers, she said: "What is #ExtinctionRebellion actually doing in this camp?" She accompanied the tweet with the hashtag "#BerlinBlockieren", which is being used by the climate activists in the German capital for their demonstration blitz.
Former SAS Regimental Sergeant Major, James Deegan MC, retweeted the video to his Twitter page in view of his 16.6 thousand followers, calling the climate activists “hypocrites” as they insist on lecturing people against using fossil fuels.
His caption read: “Hypocrites absolute hypocrites. Extinction Rebellion camp using a diesel generator for power.
“Did they think the pallets made it invisible and soundproof?”
While new-generation diesel emits lower levels of carbon dioxide than petrol engines, they tend to emit higher levels of nitrogen oxides.
In built-up urban areas, these emissions mean that diesel engines are often the biggest cause of roadside air pollution.
The climate action group is currently undergoing a planned two-week protest to shut down central London.
Protestors have gatecrashed several of the capital’s iconic landmarks. They have also assembled in European capitals, Berlin and Paris.
Lambeth Bridge, Westminster Bridge and Trafalgar Square in London have been locked off.
The environmental group has confirmed up to 30,000 activists are expected to take to the streets.
They plan to shut down a dozen sites across Westminster.
The campaign group also plan to cause chaos outside key Government departments.
This could impact access to St Thomas’s hospital - located near the Houses of Parliament.
More than 1,000 protesters were arrested in April following an 11-day demonstration in London.
Extinction Rebellion said 4,000 members are prepared to be arrested this time around.
The radical environmentalists have urged the Government to declare a “climate and ecological emergency”.
The group demands the Government to commit to reducing carbon emissions to net-zero by 2025.
In a statement, Extinction Rebellion said: “To date, almost 10,000 people have confirmed that they will be coming to London to rebel, compared to 2,000 prior to April’s Rebellion.
“Among those confirming their participation, 5,000 have stated that they are willing to be arrested, 2,245 are willing to go to prison and 1,836 are prepared to go on hunger strike.
“Based on projections from April’s Rebellion, total numbers for this Rebellion could attract between 20,000 and 30,000 people."

Smart summon is in Canada now. I've only used it about 3 or 4 times so far (in empty parking lots and my muddy driveway). It's pretty surreal to watch the car pull out of a parking space, signal and turn, then drive towards where you're standing all on its own. It's definitely not ready for Costco at 5pm but I have no doubts it will improve as time goes on.

What does this have to do with Johny's experience with his electric car?

I couldn't figure out why such a trivial story got so much air time. "Godwin Leung, who is also a video editor at Global Edmonton, " Makes sense now.

Johnny eco worrier, will you be riding one of these this winter?
https://taigamotors.ca/snowmobiles/
I like how quiet they would be.
Could we ride them in national parks?

Yeah I'm getting one for sure. The 28kWh long track.
Tested out smart summon yesterday a little bit. Car drove about 120 feet through the parking lot to my location. I tried to get it to summon back to its original location but it got a little bit confused and there was an oncoming vehicle so I aborted.

Winter 2020. $1000 deposit. Weight is 583lbs which is a tad heavy BUT my cat is already 550lbs not including all the extra tools I have to pack.

Wonder how big of a generator I would need in the sled trailer to charge it?
Let the hotel pay for it!
