> With fires raging in the Amazon, hurricanes ripping across the Atlantic, and typhoons flooding Japan, our planet and our climate are sending us a message:

Yes and that message is that it is business as usual. Fires were happening every year in the Amazon long before the Climate Emergency became a fashionable left-wing cause, and they and the hurricanes and typhoons will continue to naturally occur long after this flat-earth type Climate Emergency nonsense has been put to bed.

> We can no longer continue with business as usual.  
> The week starting September 20th, 350.org is organizing a [Global Climate Strike](https://href.li/?https://globalclimatestrike.net/&ref=goodoil.news), in association with [Fridays For Future](https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/?ref=goodoil.news), to show global leaders that the time to act is now.

> Alongside the people walking out of workplaces, schools, and homes around the world, 350.org is organizing [**a digital climate strike**](https://digital.globalclimatestrike.net/?ref=goodoil.news)**.**

A digital climate strike? That has to be the LAZIEST form of protest I have ever come across. What’s next, a digital hunger strike where in solidarity you put up a photo of an empty plate? But wait there’s more…

> Websites participating in the digital strike will promote the physical strikes in the lead-up to the date, and **partially block themselves** to users on September 20th itself.

That’s right folks; in a world first, instead of striking in order to inconvenience ‘the man’ and to cost them money, this digital strike is all about websites taking a loaded gun and shooting themselves in the financial foot! Brilliant. I am sure that the government will give two whole hoots about that.
