David Suzuki, one of the world’s leading environmentalists, has warned that activists may resort to radical actions unless governments hear their pleas and take more resolute action to tackle climate change.
“We’re in deep, deep doo-doo,”Suzuki was a renowned Canadian scientist and environmental activist who spoke to the crowd at the Extinction Rebellion protest against climate change on Vancouver Island this weekend.
This is what we’re come to. The next stage after this, there are going to be pipelines blown up if our leaders don’t pay attention to what’s going on.
When asked by National Post Monday whether he supports bombing pipelines Suzuki answered: “Of course not.”
“The violence is coming from the authorities, from the government,”He said. Suzuki also said that he believed some activists might be motivated to use violence because it is a better option. “feel government isn’t [doing] anything.”
Jason Kenney, Premier of Alberta, tweeted the following: “incitement to violence by David Suzuki is dangerous, and should be condemned universally.”He called for peaceful settlement of all differences. “threats of terrorism.”
