Climate protesters

A raw nerve

Sir, – I think that Finn McRedmond has struck a nerve that needed striking by questioning how well-grounded the latest wave of climate protesters really is (Opinion & Analysis, October 20th). These protesters are asking a rhetorical question, “Do we value art more than life?” A more practical question should be asked of us all: “Do you value Amazon.com more than the Amazon?” – Yours, etc,
