Peak climate absurdity: ‘Climate Change Makes Protests Harder—Including Climate Change Protests’ – Climate protests ‘could become riskier as climate change accelerates’
"Protesters around the world are facing rising public health risks as climate change intensifies heat and other extreme weather like flooding or wildfires. It’s getting harder to protest climate change, in fact, without feeling climate change’s effects." ...
"For climate activists, this extreme weather often highlights the very cause they are fighting for."

Last Saturday, Laurie Marshall joined hundreds of people in El Paso, Texas, for the city’s “No Kings Day” protests, part of a nationwide series of actions in opposition of what organizers say is authoritarian behavior by the Trump administration.
As protesters flooded the streets, temperatures climbed past 100 degrees Fahrenheit. After four years living in El Paso, Marshall is used to extreme summer heat, but even she hit her limit after about an hour and a half in the blazing sun.
“My face was beet red, and I knew it was time for me to get out of the heat,” Marshall told me. “I’m 75 years old, and I made sure that I had a hat and an umbrella and plenty of water, and it was so hot that there were two people who actually had fainted from the heat and had to be taken to a cooler setting.”
