Members of climate action group Extinction Rebellion demonstrated on Saturday at the ING branch on Hereplein in Groningen, because they want the bank to ‘stop financing fossil fuels that cause the climate crisis’. Incomprehensible, thinks 61 percent of the participants in the statement of the day.
‘I’ve never understood extinction rebellion, much less their actions. The word hopeless comes to my mind regularly when I read things like this’, someone writes.
‘We cannot do without fossil fuels’, writes another. ‘Due to our government policy, these fuels are becoming increasingly expensive. We are becoming far too dependent on wind and solar energy, especially in dark and windless periods. 5 or 6 medium-sized nuclear power stations are the only and, in the long term, cheaper energy supply. Extinction Rebellion is a very dangerous and nagging environmental movement.’
Another participant is a bit more nuanced. The bank has already indicated that they are working on a solution. I also understand the demonstrators, it is always so slow in the Netherlands with solutions. Grunn knows all about that.’
‘I am proud of these young people who are committed to the climate problem with their time and actions!’, writes a participant who agrees with the statement.
‘Companies and organizations must also take their responsibility with regard to climate change!’, says another
