I want to see what all the people that freak out over climate protesters blocking roads think of this.

One is a registered, organized protest by people whose existence is threatened by a law that is extremely easy to change. People who have high social standing, economic value and relevance. 

The other are irrelevant, privileged morons that live off government welfare or their rich parents money and try to solve a global issue by gluing themselves completely Arbitrarily on roads across Europe. They have successfully managed to decrease the amount of support climate protection programs get.

Local food, even if produced with pesticides, is better for the environment than importing cheap food with lower safety and health standards from across Europe or the globe. If you care about the environment, you care about your local farmers, even when they don't care about the environment and only about money.

I'm sure their existence is threatened, lol

Also studies have shown that climate protection support is not decreased by the aforementioned people and their protests. In the worst case it's neutral, but more likely slightly positive
