The environmental group Extinction Rebellion staged protests in London today to protest inaction in the fight against global warming which, by the looks of it, succeeded in annoying people and making their commutes miserable:

These guys even glued themselves together in front of the London Stock Exchange:

The police were able to outwit the protesters who glued themselves together and they were quickly arrested:

This woman is mad that nothing has been done over the past 30 years so this protest will certainly do the trick:
"We've had over 30 years of talking about climate change and it's not enough"
