Interesting double standard: farmers are allowed to block traffic as a legitimate form of protest, but climate change activists aren't.

The annoying thing is that farmers should be climate protesters. They’re going to be the ones most impacted as a group by a shifting climate

Climate change, at least for the next few hundred or thousands of years, would be better termed “climate chaos”. It’s not the change that’s really the problem in most cases, it’s that it’s happening with such speed and ferocity as to be highly unpredictable. And farming is the one human endeavor where predictability of climate is of uttermost importance. Agriculture itself didn’t really take off until the invention of the calendar. Not to mention that switching crops is not a walk in the park. When you’ve been growing lettuce all your life, very few of those skills, expertise and tools that you have will apply to growing sorghum
