"Climate protestors are too often dismissed as people who should go back to work, or comments are made that the benefits system is paying too well, allowing people to protest. Protesters are either privileged white middle class, or stinking, soap dodging, drop outs.

Why don’t people engage with the person in front of them, and see why they’ve really been moved to protest? Does this mean the critics have lost the argument? Are climate crisis deniers really deniers, or to shit scared to face what's really before us?"

Join Stuart and William on another roaming discussion. Today they are discussing a listener question, from Denny in Colorado, USA. They're not experts, they will however explore this question, in a relatable way, for you the listener.

Do you have a question you'd like Stuart and William to examine, mull over, explore, discuss, delve into or debate? Send us an email thepeoplescountryside@gmail.com with your name, where you're listening from, and your question.

Or you can record your question in your own voice by going to https://anchor.fm/thepeoplescountryside/message and that recording can then be considered for inclusion in a future edition of the podcast.
