Nice, but they're not SHOUTING. Not getting arrested. Some of them even said it was up to others to do the doing, scientists are just there to provide the information. We've tried that approach for decades and it hasn't worked.

It's like bringing up children though (like my dad says), you do your best to present them with good information and give them a good foundation, but at some point you have to let them go and make their own choices.

Yeah, but just occasionally, when they do something really bad, like they're just about to destroy the planet, you have to SHOUT at them.
