Climate Protests Launched, Flooded With Support
By Lira Deacon
Huge Gathering of environmental protesters gathered in Liberty Square, Rivière Park, and near the National Archives early this morning, and with permission from the Geminus city council, have set up tents, banners, and even food stands. The protests were started by the Watchdogs of Our Earth, an environmentalist group based out of Lauchenoira. Similar Protests have taken place in multiple countries, such as Kerlile, LOM, Milintica, and Laeral. Similar Protests were also launched in Atlantis and New Riga, with Beaches and Boardwalks becoming gathering spots.
The protest leader from WOE, Elena Moreno, and the Leader of the Confederation of Eirian Environmentalists, Nathan Simone, both announced their plans for protests in Eiria on multiple social media platforms, gaining a bunch of support. An estimated 30,000 people attended multiple protests throughout Geminus, as well as another 5,000 in both Atlantis and New Riga.
The Protesters made multiple demands, including requesting a climate conference within the next year, commitment to zero carbon emissions by 2025, and continued investment in clean energy, among other things. Multiple politicians have responded to the zero emissions demand, calling it unreasonable and impossible. Many Senators have agreed to the other requests made by the protesters, and a couple even made speeches on the steps of the Senate Building, including the Chancellor.
"We will work torwads following through on your requests as best we can, though some of them may be a bit hard to adhere to. I wholeheartedly agree that we need a climate conference, and I assume that with all of the protests going on today internationally, that there will be discussion on a conference in the near future. The environment isn't something we can exploit anymore, and like you are doing today, we need to take action".
Several Senators from all four parties have supported the protesters efforts on Social Media. Others have slammed the protesters, saying that they are "Blowing things out of proportion". Who knows if the Government will make true on these promises of change, but one thing is for certain: Debate on this matter is sure to flare up in the coming days.
