A snapshot of what ER activists have been up to includes gluing themselves to an election bus, going on hunger strike, attempting to glue themselves to the top of a train, smashing windows at the Department of Transport with a hammer and screwdriver, attempting to shutdown an airport, and attempting to spray 1,800 liters of fake blood at a government building in London (the latter attempt backfiring embarrassingly).
ER has also reached the Netherlands with a Dutch version of its website trying to lure in people from all ages to join their nonsensical cause and protests. In the week of October 7th, 2019, hundreds of ER members attempted to block the Stadshouderskade in Amsterdam, an important road in the city.
Perhaps most revealing of all, however, was when Mark Baanders, a reporter with the controversial Dutch broadcaster PowNed, went to the protests and discovered how little the protesters actually knew about what they were protesting about.
The following is a transcript of some parts of the interview:
ER Protester 1: We are here purely to protest against the environmental thing...
Baanders: Environmental thing?
ER Protester 1: Yes, against how the government just, ...where they stand regarding the environment.
Baanders: Do you know the difference between CO2 and carbon dioxide?
ER Protester 1: Yes, certainly.
Baanders: What is it then?
ER Protester 1: ...
Baanders: The carbon dioxide problem, is that a big problem?
ER Protester 4: The biggest problem is CO2.
Baanders: But carbon dioxide and CO2 are the same thing...
ER Protester 4: CO2 is the biggest problem.
Baanders: But carbon dioxide is...
ER Protester 4: Yes, CO2 is one of them.
Baanders: What's the difference between nitrogen and CO2?
ER Protester 4: I don't know, and I don't need to know that, I just believe the scientists.
Baanders: Is CO2 the problem or the carbon dioxide emissions?
ER Protester 5: They go together, I don't think you can separate them. I think we really need to control all of them.
Baanders: What's the difference between CO2 and carbon dioxide?
ER Protester 6: One is causing climate change and the other one... I don't know a whole lot about it, what do you think?
Baanders: I think that CO2 is an abbreviation of carbon dioxide.
